Hi,

for a friend's restoration project, I'm looking for all the information available (engine, carb specs,...) about this great Italian bike.
If anyone can help us, please don't hesitate.

(A proud GS owner - it is my friend not me who bought this Italian bike )

Don't know anything about that cool looking little bike but this one sold for $109,000 U.S.D.
Good luck with the resto.

that's the one...it's not really a 'full' resto but he wants to make it 'race worthy' again...and we miss the knowledge to know how the manual advancer works etc...

I think it is very cool that he's not hiding his bike in his museum but will use it outside !

Try asking on the Laverda forum. There are a lot of guys on there very well versed on continental lightweights.

When your friend does get it running and goes to the continental meetings, he's going to meet a lot of them too...

Ok, done...I'm now not only a GS forum member but also a Laverda forum one...
although Italy is way closer than Japan, I will stick to my beloved GS (worth in value maybe 1,000 $ but a beauty to me), no worries !
