Heller 52911 LAVERDA 750 COMPETITION

The Laverda 750 is an Italian sports motorcycle that was first presented to the public in 1967. The drive was provided by a single, 2-cylinder engine with 70 HP and 7500 revolutions per minute. It allowed the machine weighing 210 kilograms to accelerate to 220 km / h! The motorcycle was 2.12 meters long with a track width of 1.49 meters. The Italian automotive company Laverda was founded in 1873, but initially dealt with the construction of agricultural equipment, but only in 1948 did it start producing motorcycles. After years of gathering experience, it was only with the 750 model that the company emerged as a serious manufacturer of "thoroughbred", large sports motorcycles. This groundbreaking motorcycle in the history of the brand was the brainchild of Luciano Zen. It was characterized not only by very good performance and good road properties, but also by a very high quality and standard of workmanship. The bike was considered one of the most successful Italian sports bikes of the 1970s
