THE BEAST FROM BREGANZE
The limited edition Laverda SFC production racer was originally built for some of the most demanding 24-hour endurance races in Europe in the early 1970s. Fantastically overbuilt, beautifully loud and orange, the SFC stands as an icon during a period of truly iconic motorcycles. It’s fairly impossible to describe the feeling of this bike underneath you, throttle open, in high gear, going around a turn. Arguably the greatest street bike ever sold, with only 549 produced, the SFC inspires an almost cult-like following among motoring aficionados. It is no wonder then, that famed motorcycle historian, rider, racer, and friend, Ian Falloon (seen above) counts the Laverda SFC as one of the pinnacles of the era. This is his personal bike, and it is presented here.

Custom drainage holes in said saddlebags
Right hand mirror only [Olivier why again?]

1978 DUCATI 900SS
43 years between two friends and only 8,600KM
1978 had many milestones — Mike Hailwood wins the Isle of Man TT, Moto Borgotaro founder Peter Boggia is born, and Van Halen’s self-titled debut album is released. One can only imagine how fantastically cool it must have been to have this bike parked in the garage, blasting “Running With the Devil” on 8-track, while you and your buddies stand around drinking Labatt Blue in Ontario.

1981 R 80 G/S
G/S Madness strikes hard and strikes fast! An old friend and client Patrick came over for a test ride and returned with a huge grin. One spin around Red Hook, Brooklyn — which is similar to many an off-road experience was all it took for this first-year R 80 G/S to be scooped up and on its way to its new home.
Who is going to pick up the Touareg blue G/S before our sales manager Marisa K. does???????
