Love the simplicity of this one. That exhaust flowing with the rear wheel looks great!

What engine configuration is in this Laverda race bike?  It looks like a longitudinally mounted triple.  It is hard to tell with the fairing.

Wow a V6!  That's what I like about this thread, learning about bikes I didn't know.  Thanks for the education. 

That is a very interesting swingarm on that bike.  I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I've had some shots of that bike for some time.  Here are two more:

'05 S4R (>47k mi); '04 Bandit 1200 (>92k mi; sold); '02 Bandit 1200 (>11k mi); '97 Bandit 1200 (2k mi); '13 FJR1300 (1k mi); IBA #28454 "45"
