Something new in the shed ...

[lavgert]

... brought home a Sulzbacher LAVERDA 1200SC, first owner bike with only 20.000km on the clock. Its a very early one, based on a 1976 LAVERDA 1000 3CL. Not all original, but I will try to bring her back to original condition - as far as possible. In my 1200SC registry it is registered as the third one. Not more then twenty Sulzbacher LAVERDA 1200SC ever produced.
Ciao, Gert

Nice one Gert!

Has the fork angle been steepened up a bit?

I would be really interested to see a list of all the part/areas that were altered by Sulzbacher.

Hi Haggis, you can find some PDF documents here, but all in German language:

This is what this 1200SC looked like in 1978. I took this photo at the Österreichring (today RedBull Ring), had a poster made and had it hanging over my bed for years. I met the owner of this bike more than 20 years later. Today this 1200SC is mine. But I had to give up a 1200SC race bike for it ...
Ciao, Gert

Congratulations Gert. You got a rare beast there.
Is Sulzbacher the guy who used 4-row primary chains?

Hi Tom, I have to move. It will be in spring 2022. I have already a new home for my bikes, it is still being rebuilt.
Ciao, Gert

You are the real vaccum Gert tough bike for sure.

I think that's the pot calling the kettle something or other Maurice,
You are the Dyson of the Vacuum world....

With the gear lever pointing back, does that make it 1 up, 4 down, like a velocette?

Well done Gert!

Just looking at it scares the bejeebers out of me ...

(Sorry, Gert, slipped into the Irish there . = To thoroughly terrify, 'scare the pants of', etc )

First you should drill more holes in the disks. Congratulations!

I'd love to hear that thing .. looks like about an 80mm collector and then minimal damping

That`s nice,was it Sulzbacher who produced/raced a `non-frame` 1200 and has it survived or did any similar make it onto the road?
