(1981) Laverda 1200TS Mirage
£5995
I am unfortunately having to sell my beloved Mirage due to ongoing health problems and old age. I have owned the bike for over 40 years and I am only the second owner. The bike has always been garaged. A genuine 42700 km on the clock. This bike took the Laverda makers trophy back in the day when the National Rally was still going.
A 180 crank engine with frame and engine numbers of 3000. Right hand gear shift and hydraulic clutch. A beautiful exhaust note and enough torque to pull out tree stumps.
The bike is original as far as is possible with the following exceptions:
Fontana Shocks (Marzocchi originals in grey available)
Seat is slightly cut down to give me a better chance of reaching the floor.
A newly fitted DMC electronic ignition pack, and some wiring replacement whilst I was at it. Virtually every wiring joint remade and robust earthing added.
Rear sets and Jota bars but set up for comfort
Recent work:
All brake hydraulic seals replaced (inc. Clutch master and slave cylinders)
Carbs ultrasonically cleaned
Swing arm powder coated as it was getting a bit tatty
LED indicators
Honest appraisal:
Unmolested original, clean and tidy but with the signs of age one would expect from a 45 year old bike. Paint is original and has never been touched, complete with what remains of the original red pin stripes. The screen is tinted as it was when I purchased it - I’ve never seen another one with tinted screen. Some signs of surface rust on the frame and exhausts. The only thing that really needs doing in my opinion is a rust pitting on one of the fork legs - it doesn’t interfere with the seals but I would really suggest it should be re chromed.
A great winter project to keep you busy on Boxing Day. With a bit of a recommission rideable as is, as a great survivor and original. Or a really very easy restoration for someone who wants to make themselves a classic show bike for not a lot of money.
Lots of paperwork going back down the years, What remains of a very well used Tim Parker bible and some reworked electrics diagrams that may make some sense to someone I hope. Spare upper and lower fairings also available.
Please see all the pictures to give an idea of the overall condition of the bike and some of the work done. Contact Paul on 07545304370 Located in Essex/London
