The 180 crank Laverda Jota is a totally FANTASTIC handler in spite of all you may hear to the contrary! If a tankslapper ever threatens, just hold on extra tight and resist any waverings and she will be subdued and settle down and calmly sweep round those bends. Those who chicken out and tap off simply just do not know how to tame the beast. And a 180 crank Laverda Jota IS unashamedly a beast. You have to be very brave and a little bit bit braver to bully it around but, if you have the gumption, you will have your rear-view mirrors clouded over with Ducatis and Moto Guzzis and Hondas and Kawasakis and Suzukis and Yamahas trying to hang in there. The 180 JOTA is the absolute KING of motorcycles on the open road!
