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.
