For riders on the market of a more comfortable, yet gritty half-liter machine, the 1983 MY Laverda 500 Sport may be the right choice. It sports a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 497cc, parallel twin cylinder engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and can produce 44 horsepower and 45 Nm of torque. Standard features include a Marzocchi telescopic fork with coil springs, dual Marzocchi, five-way adjustable rear shocks and a Brembo disc-based braking system, with dual 260mm ones in the front and a single 260 unit in the rear.
