Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #12Zitat von Bikepirate im Beitrag #11Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #10 In that case, Can you handle it?  I've decided to go nostalgic myself! So my beloved 78 Laverda 1200 is up on the bike stand getting a right royal fettling. It has triple Dellorto carby's which is enough to send anyone around the twist!

I remember the Kettle well Bravo. Didn't have one but they were the bees knees when I had my fizz in the 70's. Went onto 4 stroke 4 cylinder Honda's. |

Zitat von Thunderbird 1 im Beitrag #20 Yes, the original Jota 1000 was the result of some fettling by the British Agents, Slater Bros. Laverda in the UK. It had higher compression, larger valves and larger Dellorto carbies. It was then taken up by Laverda in Italy and they retained the name "Jota" which is a type of Spanish dance step. It had a lumpy kind of engine but was bullet proof and remains a cult machine world wide. My bike is a larger capacity (1200) version but softer tuned for touring and later became the Mirage. I also have a 72 Laverda SF2 750 Twin. |

Out on the kettle this morning, flat on the tank,wringing it's neck through the gears I saw an indicated 110mph on the clocks,looked like I was being chased by the Red Arrows.
