Mecam Las Vegas Auction 2024

Not if you need to ship to the UK of course.
Very few people are interested in these bikes. Not "sporty", not "sexy", not ORANGE.
You can find nice ones at decent prices.

I still have a matching numbers engine and early frame and metal shrouded forks with tank and side panels for sale.

I concur. Yet, those not interested are really missing out! Still, more for those of us with impeccable taste - and not blinded by orange and the word JETA, or something... ;)

My SF2 has a genuine Kawasaki H2 front mudguard. That must Increase it's value, the only laversaki in existence.🤣🤣

Many years ago, I went to see what was advertised as an American model 750 Laverda. Probably near 30 years ago.

It was in fact an SF1 with a Kawasaki 900 front end complete. I pointed that out to the seller which halved the price of the 750 Laverda. I sold the front end of the Kawa within 48 hours. It went to Switzerland and paid for the 750 Laverda.

I too was offered, 35 or so years ago, a 750 with a Kawasaki front end. I should have done the same as Marxy but passed the offer up.
As for the bikes in the auction, if I had been offered 21k for a SFC1000 I would have snapped their hand off. Expecting 40k+ is nuts.
The Zane sold for a not unreasonable price, although I guess that was before fees. The Jarama sold for more than you can get for a Jota these days in the UK.
As I have said before, probably time to fill a container that has come from the US loaded with old Jap bikes, and send it back full of Laverdas.

What did the Jarama go for?
 
Markets are buyers are people. People think, they may not think as we would like them, but they invariably act in their personally perceived self interest.

So you think that people think?
I don't think so.

Markets are also sellers and people not buying or selling anything but trying to influence others.
And motorcycle magazines and book writers.
