Have seen a V Reg Laverda 750S Formula for sale but do'nt know that much about them any comments would be greatfull.

They got slated by a lot of magazines for not being a Ducati and for being very unreliable.

Have you seen one up close? I saw one in DK Motorcycles in Stoke and thought it looked like a dogs dinner, some very dodgy welds on the frame and swingarm.

Never ridden one though, so I couldn't give you an honest answer, only hearsay ;)

A m8 of mine has one it handles great, has great brakes, sounds great, but thee engine needs revved hard to get the best out of it.

I haven't noticed any dodgier welding than most bikes, in fact the component parts of this bike (except the engine) are first class.

Word of warning though, a 10mph spill on ice in january didn't cause very much damage, but the bike just went back on the road last week - getting spares is NOT easy.

Having said that, I think it is a better bike than a 900SS Ducati, and would have one if it was cheap enough.

Thanks for the info lads

Mate of mine who collects Italian bikes had one of these.

Engine as reliable as a secondhand hand grenade.
