Moto Laverda's New Triple

[logo1.gif]


New Triple(s)

Liquid cooled, 899cc, 12 radial valves, fuel injected motor putting out somewhere around 140 bhp at the crank in road trim.

The below pictures were all taken on the Three Cross Laverda stand at the 1999 NEC Bike Show.

The above engine was kept inside a perspex case away from curious prying fingers.

The rest is still a matter of speculation. The bets are that it'll be housed in an alluminium beam frame and there's likely to be 2 engine sizes, i.e. 900cc Sports and 1200cc Sport/Tourer - especially if the proposed new World Endurance Series or WSB is to be challenged :-))
However don't expect it to be much bigger than the 668/750S models, which is bad news for the many 6 foot plus riders of the old triples!
