Pretty sure they only made a 750 turbo. Laverda jota? Orange?

See my edit.
Was orange not sure on model. Never seen it run tbh. Dad died in 94 and garage was cleared and all the bikes sold. I know they fetch a pretty penny these days.
m&s up westgate road have some great old laverda's. ducati's as well. sackless prices but they are great old classics if sorted. proper bikes and sound class.
Looked in his old album has a list of all the bikes all 50 of them! Had gpz 550 non turbo and a xj 650 turbo which is obviously were my confusion came from. And the laverda was a jota.

I remember when m&s were in the arches, then all of a sudden they were on the hill with a Ducati dealership. Bought a used zxr750h1 off them 91'
aye, i remember them there. one of the breakers up the hill could have your bike in their shop and stripped down in a crack.
still go up every now and then but it's a shadow of it's former self. we'd often go up for a mooch, have a gallon in the broken doll and ride home

The first person I ever knew to have one got killed on it.
Probably the first fatal traffic accident I was ever aware of.
