Laverda Motorcycle Hats
Description: Laverda Jota is a Laverda 1000cc Italian motorcycle suggested by the importers Slater Bros. of Collington, near Bromyard, Herefordshire, England. Based on the existing 1973-1981 Laverda 3C model that made 85 hp (63 kW) at 7,250 rpm and reaching speeds of more than 210 km/h (130 mph), the new Jota made a big impression in 1976. It is named after the jota, a Spanish dance in triple time.
Description: Moto Laverda was an Italian high performance motorcycle manufacturer. Their bikes were held in high regard, and had a reputation for being extremely robust. The roots of the Laverda go back to 1873, when Pietro Laverda started an agricultural engines enterprise in Breganze, Italy. 76 years later, Pietro's grandson founded Moto Laverda, and over the next 20 years, would go on to produce models in different sectors of the market. Off-road, trial and motocross machines were developed in conjunction with other manufacturers, and were successfully raced, but the real development came in street models. From an initial 75cc single, to a 1000cc V6, Laverdas were exciting bikes, but sadly, Japanese competition was ultimately their undoing.
