The 1977 MY Laverda 1000 3C sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 981cc, transverse three cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission, and can produce 80 horsepower and 86 Nm of torque. It has a minimalist approach to its design, reminding more of the 60's cafe racers, with narrow fenders, and five-spoked, cast-aluminium wheels, as well as a high-end suspension package, a telescopic fork in the front and dual adjustable shocks in the rear. In addition, a race-derived braking system, composed of dual 280 mm discs in the front and a single 280 mm disc in the rear, which increase its performance, as well as makes for one of the safest Laverda's designed up to date.
