Do you feel a little quirky? Like to stand out in the crowd at your local bike night? Here is the bike for you.
These seem to pop up every so often on Ebay and Craigslist. It is a 1998 Laverda Ghost Strike, a 668cc twin, good for about 70HP and 44 Ft/lbs of torque. It is what we now call a “naked” bike, with just a small chin fairing. It came with quality Italian components – Paioli forks, Brembo brakes, and this one has an aftermarket 2-into-1 carbon exhaust and bar-end mirrors.
There is not a lot of info in the listing, but from the few pictures it looks to be in pretty good condition. The seller just put a new flywheel and starter in it, and claims it runs perfectly. The speedo and ODO are in KM, so you can use that as an excuse when you get stopped for speeding.
If you like Italian bikes and Ducatis and Aprilias are not special enough, maybe you NEED a Laverda! Bidding is currently at $4,000 with no reserve and only a day to go and the bike is located in Belleville, Illinois
