Is it just me, or does anyone else notice the striking resemblance the Laverda motor has with a Honda 305 powerplant?



Great article. More vintage please!

Check out this link to a British Laverda website that has an engine all stipped down for review.

Looks like a 360 crank. Just by virtue of bigger parts, it most likely vibrated just as bad as a CA77, but to a greater extent.

The 270 degree crankshaft in my CL350 shakes the bike like a paint mixer. Can you imagine if Honda had decided to up the whole deal to 650cc? Blurred vision & cracked frames would have abounded, I suppose.

Yes, I get the "dolt" award today.
