Laverda Jota RGA

1984 Laverda Jota RGA

Laverda introduced the 1000cc 3CL in 1975. At this time the Slater brothers of Bromyard where offering high performance versions of the model (sometimes referred to as a 3LE. for England) so the factory agreed to make a factory sports variant for the English market which was called the Jota. The bike made around 90 BHP and reached speeds of 140mph making it the fastest production bike of the time and it won the UK production series in '76. '78 – '80. Initially starting off as 180 degree crack it was changed in 1981 to a 120 degrees in an attempt to reduce vibration which had plagued the bike since conception. Jotas finally finished being produced in 1985.

This is an excellent example of the last of these wonderful. 3 cylinder motorcycles with the smoother 120 degree crank. It is finished in dark blue with a black seat. all the paint and bright work is in excellent condition. The mechanical condition matches the cosmetic finish. The forks have been over hauled and given new seals. the brakes where gone through with new pads. It has done 21.000 miles and is in excellent condition throughout. Starts easily and rides with no glitches at all. It has recently sailed through a MOT and it will come with 6 months tax.
