The 1971 MY Laverda 750 S sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 744cc, parallel twin cylinder powerplant mated to a five-speed manual transmission and can produce 60 horsepower at 6900 rpm. It was inspired from the American cafe racers, and had a minimalist overall design, with a single seat and narrow fenders. In addition, it comes standard with a Marzocchi telescopic fork, a swinging arm rear suspension with dual adjustable shocks, and a braking system formed by a single 230 mm drum in the front and a single 200 mm drum in the rear.
