There are motorcycles that have marked generations, and one of them is the Laverda 1000 cc V6 that competed in endurance racing during the 70s. We move on to 1978 and, more specifically, to the Bol d’Or of that season. It was an experimental and practically 100% handmade prototype that Laverda used to tune its street motorcycles.
That beast that was the Laverda 1000 cc V6 could deliver up to 145 HP thanks, precisely, to that V6 engine. We are talking about that in those times street sports bikes could be around 80-90, so in an engine from a small brand achieving performance like that was not an easy task.
The fact is that its orange color, the round headlights and that engine turned it into a motorcycle that, although it did not manage to win or even finish the Bol d’Or, it attracted a lot of attention from the fans. He became a model with acceptance and affection from enthusiasts that remains latent today, more than 45 years later.
An example of this is that now you can get the Laverda 1000 CC V6 from 1978, driven by Nico Cereghini and Carlo Perugini, in a 1/12 scale model that does not lack any type of detail. A total of 800 pieces that have been created in a way as artisanal as the motorcycle itself was in its day.
The Laverda 1000 CC V6 from 1978 is not a cheap model, it is a quality model
Behind this tremendous project is the company Brach Model and Luciano Brach, who was in charge of recreating by hand the model of the Laverda 1000 CC V6 and all its parts that, later, were used to create the silicone molds that are being used to create the kits.
Kits that include the polyurethane resin parts that give shape to the motorcycle and also the tires, carburetors, cables, headlights… As we said, the Laverda does not lack a single detail, although this is also noticeable in the price. because all quality and artisanal work must be paid for.
Each kit, which logically comes unassembled, has a price of 299 euros if purchased before December 31 and 340 if purchased without discounts. Of course, it is not yet available and its shipping date is to be determined.
