they are a good thing - responsive, handle really well, light - 92hp at 9000 rpm - 185kg 0 the big end issue has made them cheap to buy - that's changing with proper repairs being made -
on the up side - there are plenty of parts available - LOL
I can buy new parts that I need - of course not cheap coming out of Italy

a bit of stuff here

I saw one of these in an Italian restaurant recently. It was up behind the bar as an ornament. Looked good.

Hey Bryan..it would seem you have 2 ends of the spectrum in motorcycling ownership.

My other passion...... 1998 Laverda  SF 750S
mine



From the factory they were plagued with oil feed to big end issues - some machines only lasted a few thous km before they lunched - mine has done some 27k km - until I hit that roo at Boggabilla in May 2017 (but that's another story altogether)
Well a long story shortened...... have had the forks and monoshock reconditioned and intended to just recommission the machine and hope for the best...... well, then a sure fix was suggested, economy in numbers so I stripped mine for the fix and found this.......



it's pressed crank with needle roller mains and big ends - pressed apart



Houston, we have a problem....... it appears that had I not hit the roo I may not have made it home anyhoo....
