The 1982 MY Laverda Montjuic MK II is a more balanced successor to the MK I. It has been fitted with a larger, fork-mounted fairing which improves its handling and offers better protection against the elements, and a revised engine, which now has a smoother power delivery. Standard features include a Marzocchi telescopic fork and dual shocks with five-way spring preload adjustment, as a suspension package, plus a Brembo braking system, composed of a dual 260 mm discs in the front and a single 260 mm rear one.
At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 497cc, parallel twin cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
