Chris Wilson Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 I don't know much at all about motorbikes, although I do fancy a 250 Aprilia. The owner of the bike in the photo has another Laverda that he says is ultra rare, not sure just what it is, he bought from "Mr. Laverda" himself on the understanding he'd race it.

Stephen G Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Nice, classic italian racer with a good history. The RS250 is a lovely thing to ride but you just cant go slow on them your always want to rev the nut off them to hear that glourious two stoke note especially if someone has fitted race pipes like was on the one we had. The only thing they really do need is a steering damper for they are that light and if you hit a bump when giving it hard acceleration they can shake the bars on you.

j_jza80 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I can only dream, `er indoors would draw the line with me on a motorbike I know your pain. I've always fancied a fast bike, but my uncle was killed on one before I was born, so I can't see the 'rents being too happy about it.
