The 1978 MY Laverad 1000 Jota is a machine designed to offer an alternative to the rather dull Japanese liter-classes, this machine boasting the trademark Italian thoroughbred looks and feel. It comes standard with five-spoked, cast-aluminium wheels, a telescopic fork, five-way adjustable dual shock absorbers in the rear, a Brembo braking system composed of dual 280mm discs in the front and a single 280mm one in the rear.
At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 981cc, transverse three cylinder powerhouse paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and can produce 97 horsepower and 90 Nm of torque.
