The same seller just sold a '79 CBX with "only" 7409 miles. Makes you wonder, how well he is stocked with spare instruments.

And the earlier model Laverda's had gauges just like those on the sohc 750s. Nippon Seiki are just another supplier afterall.

The undeniable truth is that the Honda not only does absolutely everything better than the Laverda, it absolutely murders it in every performance department. acceleration from rest, roll-on tests in any gear at any revs, handling, braking, comfort, practicality, etc etc. This is not so much a Classic Scrap as a serious one-sided kicking.

A bit of judicious quote cherry picking there Sliver Surfer.

You left out this one.

The 1100r may look special but it certainly doesn’t feel it. Spend an hour on the Jota and you’ll feel very much alive.

I know which I'd rather listen to. The roar from the triple is intoxicating.
