RGS Executive at Iconic - 1,353 miles

I reckon its done way more than 1353 miles too.

Resprayed bodywork. L/H switchgear changed; non-std oil cooler & pipes; non-std silencers and non-discoloured downpipes; non-std disc and rear sprocket fixings; neat front mudguard extension; non-std grips and bar end weights; sat nav and rear video camera. Electrical socket in LH sidepanel. Fork brace. Non-std ignition keys. Decals missing from lift handles. Braided brake & clutch lines. Newly polished primary and alternator cases covering up what? Misrouted pickup cable. Cam chain adjuster bolts changed to cap head type - ditto front brake calipers. Curious rear brake pedal adjustment! Did US bikes have perforated seat cover and MPH speedo?

Yep, it's a quiet Friday here! 😁

You didn't mention the pillion seat cover fit, Rob.

This bike has been taken to bits here a couple months back. Seems nothing much has changed.

Both bikes were a part of a private collection and are extremely low mileage bikes that are in excellent condition. Spreadsheet the word to anyone looking for a well cared for and low mileage original Laverda motorcycle.

Yes, it doesn’t appear to be all “original” and sounds rough. The paint on the tank “may” be original but not the panniers. Odd / cheap mufflers. The Low miles is also odd, but that 750 Formula is interesting. Iconic doesn’t do too well w Laverdas.
