1974 Laverda 3C PRE Oil Cooler 180 Triple Concours PRE Jota

Laverda was a premium quality farm combine harvester firm founded in the 19th Century when part of the family began making motorcycles in 1948. Through the years they established a reputation in Italian and International endurance racing from local Giros to the Bol d'Or at Le Mans. Their street bikes reflected this heritage and were overbuilt. reliable and fast.

In 1972 Laverda introduced a 1.000cc triple that was built in limited quantities. Early. pre-Jota models are collectable and incredibly rare.

This stunning 1974 3C 180 Triple. represents the transition period for that year. with Brembo twin nipple callipers and disc brakes at the front and a drum at the rear. second series Nippon Denso instrument bracket. front mounted Voxbell horns. Ceriani front forks. Borrain wire wheels. distinctive twin web casing and other year upgrades

These aesthetically pleasing iconic triples stand tall from the crowd. the double overhead cam engine with triple Dell'Orto carburettors and 280mm cast iron discs make sure that acceleration and stopping power are the equal of any of their contemporaries.

This is a rare opportunity to own an original example of an Italian exotic that ranks among the rarest and fastest production motorcycles of its era.
