Description
WELCOME TO MY LAVERDA 1200 MIRAGE. I PURCHASED THIS IN JULY 2016 DIRECT FROM RICHARD SLATER, WHO ALSO SUPPLIED A DATING LETTER FOR IT.... SO A VERY GENUINE MACHINE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER FROM NEW. IT WAS SHOWING 15, 414 MILES WHEN PURCHASED. IT IS ALSO A VERY ORIGINAL MACHINE, ORIGINAL PAINT, SEAT, FITTINGS ETC. OBVIOUSLY MATCHING NUMBERS.
IT HAS A PAIR OF MALCOLM COX’S SUPERB STEEL JOTA “ SILENCERS “, AND CURRENTLY RUNS A PAIR OF HAGON REAR SHOCKS... THE ORIGINAL SHOCKS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE. THE FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLY IS CURRENTLY AN AP LOCKHEED, THIS WILL BE EXCHANGED FOR THE ORIGINAL BREMBO AT POINT OF SALE. THE BRAKE LINES ARE BLACK BRAIDED WITH STAINLESS END FITTINGS.
IN MAY 2017, SHOWING 16, 392 THE CRANKSHAFT FAILED... THIS MACHINE IS ONE OF THE MODELS THAT WAS FITTED WITH SUB STANDARD BEARINGS AND WAS PART OF A NATION WIDE RECALL... BACK IN THE DAY. THE CRANK WENT UP TO KEITH AT SCOZIA LAVERDA UP IN SCOTLAND, AND WAS FULLY REBUILT.
THE BIKE HAS RUN STRONGLY EVER SINCE. IT IS REGULARLY SERVICED AND COMES COMPLETE WITH A LARGE HISTORY FILE.
AS I SAID, IT IS VERY ORIGINAL WITH STANDARD PAINTWORK ETC...... ALL FROM 1979. SO IT DOES HAS SOME CHIPS AND CRACKS, BUT GENERALLY IT DOES LOOKS WONDERFUL. JUST HAD A REPLACEMENT BATTERY, AND IS PROBABLY DUE A REPLACEMENT REAR TYRE. ITS ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE !!!
ANY FURTHER INFORMATION THEN PLEASE CONTACT ME.
