Unlike its 650 siblings, the 1997 MY Laverda 668 has received a new twin headlight and a revised fairing. In other aspects, it is virtually unchanged, sharing its features and specs with its 650 forefathers. At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 668cc, parallel twin cylinder powerhouse mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and can produce 70 horsepower and 61 Nm of torque. It addition, a WP suspension package, formed by a 40 mm inverted fork in the front and a rising rate monoshock in the rear ensure increased comfort for the rider, as well as improved maneuverability.
