The roots of the Laverda Motorcycle company go back to 1873 when Pietro Laverda began producing agricultural equipment in Breganza in North-East Italy. Like many Italian firms, they diversified into motorcycles after World War Two, manufacturing good quality, and for the time, relatively innovative bikes. By the 1960s they had progressed onto bigger capacity engines launching the 750GT in 1969 and the limited edition SFC production racer in 1971, followed by a 500cc twin named the Montjuic, after the famous racing circuit in Barcelona. It was in many ways a lighter and smaller version of the old 750 twin and eventually formed the basis of the later Laverda 668 models. These bikes were fitted with Weber-Marelli electronic fuel injection, Brembo brakes, fully adjustable Paioli suspension, hollow-spoke Marchesini wheels and a modern beam or trellis frame.

The 668 Ghost featured a Ducati-style trellis frame built around its DOHC oil/air-cooled engine. This 1997 model, showing a credible 7750 miles, has been in the same family ownership for the last few years and is presented in a good original condition, even down to genuine Laverda Lafranconi silencers. The chassis bristles with typical Italian high quality components, including Marchesini wheels, Brembo brakes and Paioli forks. Only being sold due to lack of use, it is offered with a current V5C.
