1982 Laverda 1200 TS (D262)

Recent refresh of Legendary Laverda Flagship. This very original Laverda 1200 TS is a rare example of a special motorcycle, an “Executive Jet” on two wheels. Top of the line of Laverda triples when introduced with a focus on sport touring performance and comfort. A remarkable example of a unique Italian sport touring bike in very clean condition … a great addition to any serious collection and an exciting machine to ride.

This Laverda has a unique provenance.  The Bike was originally purchased in1982 from Neri Aurelio in Italy.  It was bought from Filippo Brettoni in 1989 (brother of racer Augusto Brettoni).  It was restored by Augusto Brettoni in 1992.  Then it was sold to Piero Laverda who resold it to Cor Dees few years later for display at his Laverda museum.  Finally the bike came to the Museo Moto Laverda in Breganze together with the Cor’s collection.

This Euro-spec Laverda has been preserved to a fine standard by Cor Dees, marque specialist and collector. It was one of the bikes sold to Museo Moto Laverda when they acquired the entire Cos Dees museum collection. Very low original mileage - showing only 6,987 miles (11,245 KM) and ready for many great adventures. Overall cosmetic condition is clean and very original. Paint, bodywork, seat, wheels, chrome, instruments, tires etc. all in excellent condition. This bike is very faithful to the original specifications. Recent refresh includes mechanicals gone thru and serviced as needed by Museo Moto Laverda technicians … runs and rides like new.

The Laverda 1200 TS is a 1200cc three cylinder Italian super sports motorcycle that was developed as a flagship in the Laverda line. It features an effective cockpit fairing, comprehensive instrumentation, engine cowlings, a very comfortable dual saddle with a passenger grab bar mounted to the painted tailpiece. Paintwork is a rich silver tone set off with deep red pin striping.

Considered among the top European sports touring machine of its day the 1200 TS was fitted with an 1,116 cc. inline triple developing 73 HP (some sources claim 86 HP) and generous torque. Tuned for touring duty with ample midrange, top speed is quoted at 130+ mph. Tubular steel frame, Marzocci suspension and Brembo disc brakes were developed from the successful racing versions of the Jota superbike and deliver a confident, comfortable and secure riding feel and precise handling. Features unique and stylish alloy wheels made by Laverda. The 5-speed gearbox is shifted on the right and the bike features a hydraulic clutch which offers less effort than the previous cable actuated versions.

The 1,116cc three cylinder engine was over designed with multiple ball and roller bearings and is very robust. This version is fitted with a crankshaft with 180° crankpin phasing and Jota style silencers that offer the unique raucous exhaust tone this configuration is noted for. All electrical components and switchgear for the 1200 TS are German Bosch or Japanese. These premium components make the Laverda 1200 TS a very reliable and trouble free model.

The Laverda triple has a rich history and is one of the few classic engines that can exceed any expectations you could have for riding it. Laverdas were a premium brand with outstanding performance, built using the best available components, proven in racing and always priced at the top of the market.
