The zane-era laverda bikes tick a lot of the Rare Sport Bike boxes; limited production numbers, discontinued marque, italian heritage, smexy looks in an age where eye-bleeding graphics packages were the norm, etc. The final generation Zane bikes were even recently ranked as one of the top 5 “future classics” by Bonhams.
