Stéphane's 1971 Laverda 750 SF (Virage8) is a restoration project for 2017. Not all the details have been discussed with Stéphane yet, but it will be a full restoration with some meaningful improvements like clutch leverage, LH gear shift, reworked heads with among others our copper alloy valve guides (for unleaded fuel), etc. 

We will expose at the 2016 edition of the International Motor Show in Luxembourg on 18th, 19th and 20th November.
This year, among some Italian classic bikes from Ducati, MV Agusta, Laverda and Moto Guzzi, we will also present our latest Laverda Diecimila Corsa 3 cylinder race bike.

Latest "barn found", a very nice Gilera Saturno 500 single. Although we have not clearly identified the year and the model, it should be a post 1952 model as it is already fitted with rear dual shocks. The early Gilera Saturno has been produced from 1946 to 1958 with various upgrades and mainly in 4 versions : "Turismo", "Sport", "Competizione" and "Corsa". A dual sport version also appeared in 1953 as well as some models fitted with a 600 cc engine intended to be used with a sidecar. The production of the Saturno stopped in 1958. In 1987 Gilera reused the name with the Saturno 500 bialbero, a sport fitted with a liquid cooled 4 valves 500 cc single engine. The production of this early version of the Saturno ceased in 1991.

The flow bench is a quite fastidious and time consuming step but essential in order to obtain an optimal air flow rate and speed through cylinder ducts and head. The results given by the flow bench will also help to define the appropriate valves configuration and diameters. The pictures show Angelo working on a Laverda triple "Diecimila" race bike cylinder head.

New improved Moto Officina performance pistons for Laverda twins and triples. Pictures shows a 900 cc kit high compression piston for 750 twins but the range covers all Laverda models for street and track applications.

Static balancing and centering process of a Laverda 750 crankshaft. Precise balancing and centering is a key element for a proper functioning Laverda twin. Our crankshaft are mounted with a mechanical tolerance of 2 hundreds of mm where Laverda official tolerances are of 1 tenth of mm!

Moto Officina Laverda 750 SFC Elettronica carter replica under construction. As it is nearly impossible to find original SFC Elettronica primary chaincase carters or even copies of an acceptable quality we rebuild them. Our carter fits all the 750 SF engines for an elettronica conversion or can also replace the cover of an original '75 to '77 SFC.   

The original Laverda parts were casted but to ensure higher quality and reduce production costs we manufacture them from billet. The finished product will have the same aspect as the original part but it can also be polished or coated in various colors. 

Journey in the very nice Vallée de la Chiers in France, Meuse department. Cool landscapes and curvy roads... what else for an awesome bike trip ;-)

Laverda 1000 Jota at the Isle Of Man Classic TT fitted with a Moto Officina 3 into 1 performance exhaust line. 
Made in 1 mm stainless steel the full line for Laverda triple only weights 3.8 kg. Our exhausts are delivered ready to mount with all necessary gaskets, cooling rings, bolts, etc.

Jean-Louis Basset shot some nice pictures of our Laverda 1200 "Diecimila" during a ride in the Spilimbergo region.

The "Diecimila" engine is the only known Laverda triple able to take 10.000 rpm while remaining perfectly reliable. This particular street version has a 180° engine and keeps the original Laverda connecting rods and crankshaft. However, for this type of engine we usually mount our forged steel performance connecting rods and modified crankshaft, in particular if it's for race applications. 

Preparing to head for the ALL MOTOR'S SHOW that will that place in Pordenone (Italy) on September 5th and 6th. More info : www.facebook.com/pages/All-Motors-Show/

Derived from the pre-WW2 Norton International and produced between 1947 and 1962, the Norton Manx is certainly one of the most successful motorcycles in racing history. This particular model we have for sale is a perfectly preserved and functioning long stroke engine version. 

Magnificent 1976 MV Agusta 750 S America for sale from a private collection. 

The 750 S America was a modified 750 S to suit the US market. Main changes were air filtration as well as a larger 790 cc engine for similar performance. Only about 600 of the 750 S America were built between 1975 and 1977.

Piero Laverda shared some pictures of the 29th Milano-Taranto historical race which took place this year from July 5th to 11th and where the Laverda Corse team was present with nearly 40 bikes. 

Since 1987, vintage motorcycles meet every year in July for this extraordinary cultural historic event that runs nealrly 1800 km through the most beautiful places in Italy.

Karim, Manuele and Renato visited the very nice 2015 Vintage cars & bikes exhibition in Steinfort (Luxembourg). Picture gallery : 

Meanwhile in Japan, Kenichiro, from KTR in Osaka, just sent us some pictures and a short video of his awesome Laverda 1000 RGS he fitted with a Moto Officina 3 into 1 performance exhaust. Bellissima ;-)

Very nice and rare 1974 Moto Guzzi 750 S just arrived for sale.

Only 948 Moto Guzzi 750 S have been built during a little more than one year between 1974 and beginning of 1975. The 750 S is an evolution of the famous V7 Sport. The main visible difference are the front Brembo disk brakes which considerably improve braking power compared to the V7 Sport drum brakes and the color schemes (black and green striped like this one or black and orange/red striped). 

Moto Officina new performance connecting rods for Laverda twins and triples. Our road & track forged steel connecting rods will soon be on sale as many other special parts. 

The development of these parts required a great investment for a small company like ours, but as the current connecting rods on the market didn't fulfill our expectations we decided to produce our own rods for Laverda 2 and 3 cylinders. Our connecting rods are made of fully hardened CrMo 39 steel. They don't need bearing inserts at the big end and have an extremely high torsional rigidity and compression stress resistance. Of course, we provide also the related parts like rollers, coupling axis, etc

When passionate people share the same enthusiasm for awesome machines. Piero Laverda and Moto Officina team discussing around the legendary Laverda V6.

May 2015, Sunday ride on 1972 Laverda 750 SF and 1973 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport. 

It's already more than 1 year ago when we finished Karim's Moto Guzzi Café Racer project. Based on a 1978 Guzzi V50 II, the plan was to build a very light and powerful machine with the classic line of the Guzzi sport bikes of the 70'. After more than one year regular ride and almost 10.000 km, only one incident, a broken (original) speedometer cable. Watch the video of the very first test ride after the last engine fine tuning.

1976 Laverda SFC 750 Elettronica replica by Moto Officina: Thierry discovers the finished machine and rides it for the first time. The Laverda 750 SFC Elettronica was the latest version of the famous Laverda SFC ("Super Freni Competizione") line. The last 35 machines built between mid 1976 and early1977 were equipped with 5 spokes alloy wheels like Thierry's replica.
