Laverda Jota

This Laverda Jota was built in July 1977. This particular bike was originally sold in Southern California. I bought it a couple years ago and thought I would ride it here it Texas however things have changed and I am now offering it for sale. I have owned three previous Laverda's: a 1976 3cl with Jota cams etc. . and a 1978 3cl. and a coveted 1974 SFC (the last new one on the planet in 1978). However this Jota is special and has super low miles. This bike was set up to race at Riverside in the 80's but never got the chance (AMA changed the requirements) so I am told by the previous owner. The bike was completely disassembled and modified slightly. If you look closely on the pictures you will notice the frame was reinforced in the air filter area. If you look close at the exhaust down tubes you will see another reinforced cross tube installed. These frame modifications stabilize the bike at higher speeds. There are custom made foot levers for the gear shifting and the brake assemblies. You can see that the rear disc brake was also modified in an upside down configuration. One off parts to accommodate the mounting. All the modifications are done with forethought and implementation. The powder coating on the frame. wheels. and fork sliders is very thick and shiny. This bike sounds incredible. idles perfectly. and runs like a Jota should. Handles beautifully. It is robust and throaty. The paint is excellent. One imperfection on the back tail piece is a hairline crack near the mounting screw. Probably overtightened at one point. Tires are in good shape. I located new Vox bell horns and they will be included along with a mirror. purchased from Wolfgang. I forgot to take a picture of under the seat area and battery. It is as nice as the rest of the bike. Any questions shoot me an email.
