Sensational: LAVERDA-Prototype sighting in Vienna Woods
Recently, on a Tuesday afternoon in the Vienna Woods: Whilst the rider of this LAVERDA was desperately searching the roadside ditch for his broken gearshift lever we managed to take this sensational photo. Still camouflaged as unadulterated 1000 3C this LAVERDA is said to be fitted with a smashing Hirschegger-motor. The tarmac will be burning next spring in the Vienna Woods...

Robert Schlachter provided the fashion boutique Sagmeister in Bregenz with his Sulzbacher LAVERDA 1200SC, which adorned their premises during the "Italian Weeks". Management was surprised by the numerous reactions of passersby: many just visited the shop to take a closer look at the orange LAVERDA!

14th Ratschin-Brothers Mountain Climb in Schwechatbach/Lower Austria
Irrespective of the somewhat adverse conditions - rain and a slippery track - Andreas Hofinger-Horvath took 2nd place in the class up to 1975 on his LAVERDA 750 GT. Alfred Wais, this time unfortunately not on his LAVERDA, even managed to win the racebike-class. We heartily congratulate both LAVERDA-Friends!

A LAVERDA 750 GT in Hungary.

Andreas: "I think it is important to show that a LAVERDA is built to be ridden. A Hungarian motorcycle dealer was fascinated by my 750 GT, he had neither heard the real sound of a LAVERDA twin, nor had he ever seen one in the flesh.
