1972 Laverda 1000

Introduced in 1972, the three-cylinder Laverda 1000 (top) was the bike the boys at Breganze were really hanging their hopes on. Although a little heavy for track work, the big triple was successful in the European endurance circuit. More importantly, it was an excellent high-speed touring machine, equally at home blasting across the U.S. desert Southwest or carving corners in the Swiss Alps. Dual front discs were new for 1974.
