You recall The Motorcycle Broker slagged off Jota as an expensive waste of money …… guess what they have one for sale at £25000.
 
The prices at that shop seem,,,,,crazy!! Honda cb400 automatic for 7500 pound???? That’s a $2600US at the very best here in North America.

What's a Laverda on the road?

On the road in good old UK vernacular is one running and legal on our blessed public roads - the only way to get more interest is to have more on the road visiting shows , runs and road use - the O&S ( in my opinion you may not agree , that’s ok 🤣) is a trailblazer for the brand in the UK for people on the edge of knowledge

How did that one in France ever get in that state ? Not a good advert for your motorcycling chums in France 🤣
 
Well, orange, silver and the word Jota does sell magazines, I'm not certain that it puts bikes on the road. But it gets people buying them because the article uses words like fastest, roar, Avon production championship, exquisite exclusive Italian. Just what's needed to tickle a man's fancy.

As for the state of that one in France, they all do that Sir.
Quite a few were broken for parts in the UK I believe before words like mythical, iconic, awesome and investment started becoming commonplace.

Laverda is rapidly joining MM and Sertum on the list of past great Italian motorcycle marques.

Up to us to ensure it doesn’t !
 
One aspect this seller and bike have made happen, lots of talk and "publicity", based on nothing more than a high asking price and uncertain condition of motor, mission accomplished. May well we stand on the sidelines as spectator, or not participate and promote the hard working folk supporting the Laverda brand for all to enjoy, the well experienced advise, the general knowledge on fair price for various models. We can make a simple choice and ignore the exploiters and ne'er do wells, they waste our time here. Rescuing a tortured Laverda is a laudable action all the same. j

I agree here,
Actually I know PJ well and although he does suffer from verbal diarrhea he does mean well and he really does try to deliver the best possible. He also keeps his word which is a very good reason to like him and forgive his bull. (remember he is a salesman at the end of the day)
I am sure all of you have bought a bike or whatever and been really disappointed at some time with what you thought was a great condition bike but found it was a lemon. At that point you never ever say "well it was cheap so it's ok" you say, *!*!*!*!*FFFFFFFFFF
What PJ is trying to do is give the best possible product and you forget the price. The best of the best usually ends up the cheapest also.
And it keeps it's value the best.
In short, I have never ever heard anyone complaining that they paid too much if the product is absolutely perfect. But everyone complains about the price if it is not what they imagined, and almost always we imagine better than reality.
RR used to have a slogan. "Quality remains, well after the price is forgotten" and it is one of the most true statements I have ever heard.

The problem is that a high price doesn't mean quality and having money doesn't make you a quality person.
Each case is different, but in a general way, the more expensive it is, the less it's ridden.
Better to invest in real estate.
