History
This is a 1998 Laverda Formula - one of only 200 built in black with upgraded engine mapping and some carbon fibre body panels. I have owned and ridden this bike since 2007, bringing it with us from the UK to Australia in 2009. It was a bit shabby and unloved when I bought it but it has always been a great ride, so I felt that it was worth the effort to keep it going. I decided recently that it was time to restore it and make some additional improvements along the way.
