Laverda 100 Lusso Sport
Laverda first product, the 75cc four-stroke Motoleggera (lightweight motorcycle)
helped meet the unprecedented upsurge in demand for basic motorised transport,
and modified versions were soon winning their class in the long-distance road
races popular at the time. Foremost of these was the famous Milan-Taranto, which
Laverda first entered in 1950. That first venture ended in retirement for the
factory's single entry but the following year all four machines entered finished
the race. The following year Laverda's new 'MT' (Milan-Taranto) sports model
crushed the opposition, filling the top five positions in the 75cc category
while in 1953 there were 75cc-class wins in the Moto Giro d'Italia and
Milan-Taranto again. In 1954 the new 98cc '100 MT' scored a debut win in the
Giro and occupied six out of the first seven places in the Milan-Taranto's 100cc
category.
