Description
Due to downsizing my collection, I am offering this unique Laverda 500. This 1981 twin-cylinder is in absolute top condition (new condition is actually no exaggeration) and has only originally run 22, 500 km. You will probably not find a nicer one anywhere. It is a light and very manageable machine that, thanks to its compact dimensions, is also very suitable for smaller riders. But do not underestimate it, thanks to its light weight and the almost 50 hp (35 kW) strong power source, it is capable of impressive performances and almost unbeatable on winding routes. The motorcycle was once delivered new in Italy, imported to the Netherlands by me in 2017 and only ridden in nice and dry weather. It comes with an original English/ Italian service manual, double set of keys and the correct export papers.
