For riders on the market for an agile and powerful naked machine, the Italians from Laverda have launched the 1983 MY 500 Alpino, a two-wheeler that promises performance and smiles no matter where one decides to ride it, whether for a daily commute or a weekend stroll through the countryside. At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 497cc, parallel twin powerhouse paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and can produce 44 horsepower and 45 Nm of torque.
