1999 Laverda 750 S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1999 Laverda 750 S sport motorcycle, Laverda relies on a 748 cc (45.6 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 82 HP (59.9 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 109.6 HP per liter, 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 measures 185 kg (408 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.44 HP/kg (2.26 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,375 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 220 km/h (137 mph).
