LAVERDA RGS 1000 MURAYAMA S.P.L. from JAPAN

Is it a bargain compared to some of the recent prices we’ve seen asked? An overpriced bit of garage art? Or a fair price for a well made custom?
 
To me, it's in the same league as JLOs special and a couple of Reds Specials. Someone bought JLOs bike, and that Vincent went for a Million Dollars so there is a market.
 
Well it’s not a totally outrageous price considering it includes shipping which can run to long thousands, depending on where it goes, and on a par with the price paid for the TT1 that went to the UK from Japan a few years ago.

What Vincent?
Personally, if I wanted a special, I'd build it. I don't see the point in buying someone else's point of view.

Thanks. That's a special bike with history even though such amounts of money have something obscene in our small world.

Did you see the $38mill Ferrari below it? These are probably US dollars as well. Much bigger number in Oz $
 
Just over 25,000GBP to the UK or IOM? a bit on the heavy side but not too bad, I dont think you will sell Kozo until you are inder 20,000GBP, which might take the price of the bike less shipping at about 17,500 GBP
CLEM
 
Am I right in thinking that this bike had (at one time) four exhaust megaphones on it from new? that was never going to be right in my opinion, looks very much like a three into three system now, or am I getting cunfused with the Hansi Hoppe bike, or Gary? (who used an enlarged featherbed chassis)?

So this was based off an RGS or is that just the badges?

Big question for me is other that the obvious carbs and exhaust, has the engine internals been modified?

It's a very well presented motorcycle for sure.
