"Laverda Jota 1000" (1981)
The 1981 Laverda Jota 1000 is a motorcycle that
became a symbol of speed and power in the early 1980s. Named after a
Spanish dance, the Jota was a high-performance version of Laverda's 3C
model, developed in collaboration with Laverda's UK importer, Slater
Brothers. The bike was powered by a 981cc triple-cylinder engine that
produced 90bhp, giving it a top speed of around 140mph, making
it one of the fastest production motorcycles of its time. The Jota was
known for its brutal power delivery and distinctive exhaust note, which
made it a favourite among speed enthusiasts. The 1981 model featured
several refinements, including improved suspension, brakes, and a more
comfortable riding position, which made it more accessible to a wider
range of riders without sacrificing its raw performance. The bike's
design was muscular and aggressive, with a bold, angular tank and a
triple exhaust that emphasised its performance-oriented nature. The
Laverda Jota 1000 from 1981 remains an iconic motorcycle, revered for
its speed, power, and the adrenaline-fuelled experience it offers to
those who ride it.
