The 1979 MY Laverda 500 Alpino is a machine which combines the agility and prowess of a naked two-wheeler with the enhanced comfort and ease-of-use of a touring machine. At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 497cc, in-line two cylinder engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission that can produce 44 horsepower. In addition, it comes standard with a small windshield, a high-end suspension package for increased comfort and a race-derived braking system, which increase safety levels on this machine.
