Laverda SF3 ***Now sold***

Auctions though, could be anything buggered inside the motor. Private allows so much more opportunity to look a bike over, which for me commands a higher price.
 
That bike is a mess.
Trying to get it back to standard will cost a bomb.
As for the engine, who knows but a lot cheaper to put right than a triple.
However, cheaper than that, you'll have to go to the scrap merchant.

Chris You might be shocked to hear how long ago that was, that trip was just before my time and that's a bit more then 10 years. Maybe more.

Someone got a bargain with that bike, engine is an unknown because they won't have started it for anyone but I'd take a chance on it at that price, its got lots of original bits on it and most of it is restorable, you could easy spend a couple of grand doing that, even more if the engine has any issues.
There were some low prices at that auction though in general.
 
Auctions are a bit of a lottery. A mate bought an R100RS that was advertised in running condition. It did start and run, but was in need of a lot of work and money to get it rideable. But I’ve also seen bargains. The Lav 750 that went last year for about 7k (excl auction commissions) seemed steep, but it had documents to show it had been through Mr Nairns workshop so was 1st class condition. Establishing history and provenance is important at auction for me, given that the auctioneers won’t let you as much as turn the engine over let alone start it.

The ULEZ Checker is about as much use as Trump would be on ‘University Challenge’.
It has my Triple down as “Compliant”, but my ’72 Mini as “Exempt”.
The usual piss poor government software has the Laverda down as “liable for Congestion Charge”, despite the fact that it has never been applicable to motorcycles!

I've no idea what the bars are, I'll ask the previous owner, its really comfortable compared to my other SF3.

It was previously black, I've not changed it on the log book so I think I better had.
