 THERE ARE 3 VINTAGE LAVERDAS WHICH WE ARE SELLING ON 3 DIFFERENT AUCTIONS HAVE A LOOK AT ALL 3

The differences in styling between the GT and S affected the handlebars, seat, fuel tank, mudguards (the GT having square-section, the S rounded, both enjoying the luxury of stainless-steel assemblies), and front forks (the GT having enclosed, the S exposed fork tubes, both 35mm Ceriani). There were also several differences between the two models in the state of tune. The carburettors on the GT were equipped with an air filter, the S's were not, having polished bellmouths instead. The GT ran a 7.7:1 compression ratio, the S 9:1. The S used a 1mm larger carb size than the GT 30 (against 29mm); both were of the square slide VHB type. The GT used a softer camshaft profile (8) than the S (4/s).

In the power stakes, the GT produced 52 bhp @ 6,600rpm against the S version's 60bhp @ 6,600rpm. In terms of the fuel tank, the GT shared the same 19-litre (4.2-gallon) capacity as the 650GT, against the 20-litre (4.4-gallon) capacity for the 750S.

Both machines shared the same basic frame with the 650GT, with rake and trail figures of 28 degrees/82mm respectively. The three machines all shared a steering damper, which worked in the traditional manner, being fitted through the steering stem nut and down through the steering head. An alloy knurled top nut affected adjustment. Later Laverdas were not fitted with any form of steering damper. Another component shared only by these three early twins was the Bosch 155mm headlamp, which was rated at 12 volts 45/40 watts for Europe, and at 35/35 watts for the USA. Most of the other electrical components on the early twins were also of Bosch manufacture, including the switchgear. The instruments were British Smiths; rear lights were CEV, either round or alloy-bodied assemblies.

Although never imported officially into the UK, the 750GT was none the less an important motorcycle in the evolution of Laverda's big twin. There were many differences between it and the 750S, both cosmetic and in the engine department
