At the dawn of the Superbike era, an Italian name made international circuits tremble: Laverda. Today, that roaring epic lives again in a prestigious bilingual volume published by FBA Motoitaliane, an essential work for devotees of classic motorcycling.
Authored by the renowned motorcycle journalist Alan Cathcart, Moto Laverda is not just a historical catalog, but a visceral journey experienced firsthand. Guided by the innovative vision of Massimo Laverda throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Breganze-based manufacturer wrote indelible pages in the world of endurance racing.
From the early grueling challenges at the Milano-Taranto and the Motogiro d'Italia in 1950, to absolute dominance in exhausting 24-hour races starting with the legendary 750 SFC in 1971, the brand has always been synonymous with sporting avant-garde and ruggedness.
The true added value of this work lies in the author's direct experience. Thanks to a privileged relationship and deep trust with the Laverda family, Cathcart had the rare honor of track-testing the most important and iconic motorcycles produced by the Venetian company, including the mythological and fearsome 1000 V6.
The book's pages exude not only technical data but the raw, physical sensations of someone who pushed these machines to their limits. From a publishing standpoint, this is an uncompromisingly premium work.
Moto Laverda, printed on high-quality paper that elevates its rich photographic content, is presented in a generous 30×23 cm format, protected by a sturdy hardcover binding.
Spanning 178 pages with side-by-side text in Italian and English, the volume is designed as a true collector's item: the print run is strictly limited to just 1,000 numbered copies.
