This bike is/was owned by "Lawrence", a member of this forum. Lawrence is a family friend, and unfortunately passed away recently. His surviving wife is selling Lawrence's bikes off to generate cash, and the Laverda is available - I'll be helping Lawrence's wife with the sale, since she is managing lots of other things. Importantly, I am a car guy, and don't know a whole lot about bikes. I've bought, restored, and sold old German cars though, and I'll try and approach this listing the way I would approach a car listing - as transparently as possible.
This Laverda Mirage 1200 fires and revs well, but I have not ridden it. The paint is decent - different things on different parts. For example, there is some crazing on the tail. There is some cracking on some of the side bits, some chips on the fairing, and some significant drips on the tank (looks like someone resprayed it at some point).
The bike seems solid and well cared for mechanically, but again, I have not ridden it (I kind of wish I was a confident rider!).
It does have what I believe to be an aftermarket carb setup (see pics), and another forum member mentioned to me that he believes it has an aftermarket ignition system.
There is a pretty decent pile of spares, which you can see some of here:
Here's a walkaround:
And here's a warm start:

Asking $8,500 USD for the bike and the spares. Title is in-hand.
We are located in Boise, ID , USA.
