Expect to see quite a few of the top TT riders on Patons in next year's Classic TT, including John McGuinness (many times TT winner): http://www.iomtt.com/News/2012/11/27/Cl ... nness.aspx


Price? If you have to ask, you can't afford one. Cheaper than a replica MV, though.


Some riders and entrants I spoke to felt that the Paton didn't conform to the rules by being an 8-valver. They claim that the original Paton was a 4-valve.


I've ridden a few Laverda triples and I thought they were like big carthorses, plenty of power and OK in a straight line. Doubtless you could muscle them around a track, but in my view they are best seen as road bikes. Some of the ones I saw trackside in Europe had a lot of work done to them, some with different frames, and they certainly looked the business.
