The 1981 Laverda Mirage 1200 stands as a bold expression of Italian engineering, style, and performance from the golden era of superbikes. A rare combination of character, craftsmanship, and thrilling performance, this bike exemplifies a time when motorcycles were built to be handcrafted, powerful, and unforgettable. With only 425 original miles, it remains almost as it left the factory, preserving its remarkable originality.
Powered by a 1,198cc air-cooled DOHC inline triple, the Mirage delivers torque, acceleration, and a growl that is unmistakably Laverda. The 5-speed manual transmission puts the rider in full control, making every ride a visceral experience. With dual Brembo disc brakes and Marzocchi suspension, it handles with confidence and precision, whether navigating tight curves or cruising open roads.
Its metallic silver paint with maroon coachlines shines with period-correct style, while the original plastics show subtle natural aging, confirming it has never been refinished. The TS-style touring bodywork adds presence and collector appeal, balancing performance with sophisticated design. The seat, controls, and cockpit remain in exceptional condition, reflecting careful preservation.
This Mirage has been recently serviced and is ready to ride or display in a collection, making it a rare low-mileage survivor that is highly desirable for collectors and enthusiasts. Every element reflects Italian craftsmanship, innovation, and the thrill of riding, giving this motorcycle enduring allure.
Owning this Mirage is an opportunity to claim a motorcycle that is as alive today as it was when it was built. From its exceptional low mileage to its original finishes and distinctive triple engine, this bike offers a combination of performance, style, and authenticity that is rarely found in a survivor of this era. It is ready to deliver immediate enjoyment on the road or to be showcased as a centerpiece of a collection, offering a genuine connection to the spirit of Italian motorcycling.
