• Beautifully engineered 650 sports bike

The roots of the Laverda Motorcycle company go back to 1873 when Pietro Laverda began producing agricultural equipment in Breganza in North-East Italy. Popular in the 1970s with models such as the Jota and the Montjuic, the brand was relaunched in the 1990s with new 650 twins fitted with Weber-Marelli electronic fuel injection and a modern beam frame together with lots of top-quality European brake and suspension components.

This 650 Laverda has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection. The bike, quite rare in the UK, is presented in good standard and original condition. Last run about 2 years ago, it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a current V5C.

Estimate: £2,250 - £2,750*

• Standard and original VFR400 NC24 sports bike

• Still fitted with a genuine Honda HM MLO K exhaust

• Supplied with a current V5C

Honda made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. The VFR400, first seen in the late 1980s was essentially a scaled-down version of the larger capacity VFR models of the day and was mainly developed for, and sold in, the Japanese domestic market.

This good looking example has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection. It’s rare to find a NC24 that has survived in original and standard condition, still fitted with a genuine ‘HM MLO K’ exhaust. The bike was last run in 2019 and has been stored since so will need recommissioning before use and is supplied with a current V5C.
