At the heart of the 1996 Laverda Ghost 650 naked motorcycle, Laverda relies on a 668 cc (40.8 cu in) twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 70 HP (51.1 kW) at 8,900 rpm while maximum torque reaches 60 Nm (44.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 104.8 HP per liter and a 2,400 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,900 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 Ghost 650 measures 200 kg (441 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.86 kg per horsepower).
