1981 Laverda 1200 Mirage

 

[AndyW]

Is that a Harley in there as well? I didn't know Maurice had one of those too

 

[hooksey]

Hope it comes with a Covid mask  ............... oh thats right its a Mirage complete with fairing 

Tis a good looker fresh Jam n all !

Taint me my MFK1200 lives in Sydney now!!!!!

5 Lavs in there (just punch Laverda into the search) - for me and value for money, the 'Jota' and the orange SFC1000 (probably the nicest looking orange triple I've seen).

Mein Gott, that 'SF1' (interesting decision to call it a 1972 SF1 ...?????) - handlebar pos looks positively inviting for anyone, let alone any of us ageing forumsters!! I'm putting my money of the fairing dictating where the bars went? Throw in a rearsets that are about 3 inches too far back and my back aches just thinking about it!

I'm sorry, but there is just so much to hate about that build. A$25k? Tell 'em they're .... drea....

Help me out - why is it a mess of a replica?  Aside from personal choices like handlebar config and paint job, whats wrong about it - maybe the shocks look like an earlier model?  Not a Mirage? How can you tell?


Just wondering... ???

An SFC style fairing and seat doesn't make a SF2750 into a SFC replica. At 25K it's an expensive modified 750.

Talking about the SF, not the Mirage. The SFC 'rep' is wrong in so many ways, I couldn't be bothered going there.

The mirage looks fine nick, you thinking of skipping over the border with it?  Steve McQueen style over the road block!

Go to Victoria, nah, one ex Victorian 1200 is enough for me - but I see the guy has also listed an SFC1000 for an eye watering $36,500

The 1200 MFK was a pommie Nick that's why you connect with her so well

 

[pf1]

It was a Spaniard Maurice, from Zaragoza.

The 1200 Mirage on bikesales, in Victoria, is the one that Brads Vintage Cycle Sales advertised on FB in May last year for $16,550 - trying for a $6,000 profit over a year of ownership

Good luck to him 

If your after a riders bike to clock up some k's on,  it would be good buying at 20k !
But for a collector to park up and profiteer off 5 yrs down the track........ Its the wrong model.
