“Incorporating many developments of the 1973 factory bikes, the 1974 750 SFC was one of the outstanding sporting machines of the era.”

THIS BIKE'S STORY

At only approx 541 units produced, the Laverda SFC is one of the best bikes for your buck, that you can collect and ride! This one benefits now from a legendary complete Moto Borgotaro wiring harness (not sold in any stores.) This is a street legal factory race bike that pumps out approx. 70HP—it's fun, fast and vicious. To me the SFC is the pinnacle of 70's Italian sport bikes—it hits all the marks and it’s built like a tank. This is the closest bike in feel to a Lamborghini Miura. Don’t trust anyone who says these beasts don’t idle and they’re high-strung.

At this point I can say with some authority, that I have owned, bought, and sold more SFC Laverda’s than just about anyone in the US. If you look in previous sales, this bike is just 12 bikes later than the last SFC that came through the shop.

Every SFC is slightly unique, every bike has a story. This particular example has been in private ownership for the last 10 years, the current owner had the noted Laverda craftsman, Scott Potter, do a complete frame-up rebuild, but the bike was never ridden.

As the bike had been sitting, I proceeded to fully recommission it with a new wiring harness, turn signals (not pictured), new tires, new fork seals, full service, a new starter clutch, clean and replace the jets, and set the points. At this point, a new steel tank was also fitted and paint matched to the rest of the bodywork.

After putting in some fresh fuel, this BEAST roared back to life. The time and money spent on the rebuild was obvious as the quick pull of the throttle felt the parallel-twin whip the bike back and forth, the feel of the SFC is unmistakable. BUY, RIDE, COLLECT.
