Laverda 750 Strike SPECIFICATIONS, PRICE & IMAGES

question has to be: Why? What was the point of building another parallel twin
roadster, this time with an aluminium frame, when the Italian firm already had
the perfectly capable standard Ghost model with its steel trellis?
too: 40mm
upside-down Paioli forks and a shock from the same Italian firm. The Strike’s
engine is also unchanged:a 668cc DOHC, eight-valve parallel twin cooled by a
mixture of air and oil, and fed by a Weber-Marelli fuel-injection system.
suspension is excellent: firm but not harsh, giving a superbly taut and stable
ride. The Strike’s steering isn’t super-quick but the short, light bike’s
neutral feel encourages you to throw it around in the corners.
