1998 Laverda 750 S Carenéé Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Laverda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 1998 Laverda 750 S Carenéé utilizes a 748 cc (45.6 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 85 HP (62 kW) at 9,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 75 Nm (55.3 lb-ft) at 7,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 113.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,200 rpm) and peak power (9,200 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the 750 S Carenéé measures 185 kg (408 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.18 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops.
