The Italian engineers from Laverda have designed the 1981 MY 1000 Jota for riders on the market for a powerful and gritty naked machine. This liter class sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 981cc, in-line three cylinder powerhouse paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and can produce a claimed 97 horsepower and 90 Nm of torque. Other features include dual 280 mm front disc brakes, hydraulic telescopic forks, dual shock absorbers in the rear and a small windscreen for increased protection against the elements.
