Artwork detail

[art #308]. Limited Edition Print by Steve Dunn.

The 1981 Laverda Jota 1000 was a superb motorcycle that became a symbol of speed and power in the 70s and 80s. Named after a Spanish dance in triple-time, the Jota was a high-performance version of Laverda's 1000 3C and was developed in collaboration with Laverda's UK importers 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 the fastest production motorcycle of its time. The Jota was known for its brutal power delivery and distinctive exhaust note, which made it the favourite bike for speed freaks. The orange 1981 model featured here incorporated several refinements, improved suspension and brakes, also a more comfortable seat and riding position. The bike's design was muscular and aggressive with a bold angular tank and a 3-into-1-into-2 exhaust system 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 offered to all those that rode it.
