The Laverda 1997 750S was a development of a long-running string of relatively modern parallel twins the first of which was the 1977 Alpina which was substantially updated in 1994 with the introduction of the fuel-injected and watercooled 668 machines.
This model, the 750S Formula, appeared in 1998 and featured a more powerful engine with Termigoni carbon-fibre exhaust cans and enhanced suspension, brakes and wheels from Paoli, Brembo and Marchesini.
