Monty by XTR Pepo

The "Monty" is another build from XTR Pepo. The Monty started life as a 1978 Laverda 500 Alpino its the name being a nod to the Laverda Montjuic, which was based off the Alpino, and affectionately called "Monty" in-short by its owners.

While there are a number of Laverda parts in the build, if you look closely at XTR Pepo's Monty, you will see the swingarm from a Suzuki Bandit, front forks from a Ducati Monster, a GSX-R600 clutch lever, and a Honda CBR600RR footpegs, all in the name of XTR Pepo's motorcycle pick-and-pull build style.

There is something to be said about the recycling of parts that normally would have little value to most riders, yet can be integral in making Pepo's imagination come to fruition. Of course, there are also a number of XTR Pepo's bespoke parts on Monty as well.

Knowing that the Laverda 500 Alpino was a touring model, based on Laverda's Formula 500 racing machine, which in-turn the Laverda Montjuic transformed back into a racer, this cafe bike is a great nod towards not only the Formula 500 era of motorcycles, but also what Laverda was trying to achieve with its designs.
