While fantasy shopping on nearby Craigslist sites I happened upon this gorgeous 750 Sport Formula. This is the second one we’ve seen in just a couple of months, and also at $6000. But this one has just 1000 miles and from the pictures it sure looks it. It’s listed on both SF Craigslist and Medford Craigslist.
From the comments on the one we posted in December, “these bikes are awesome, and their so called “lack of power” wasn’t an issue due to the “inzane” handling characteristics. One of the first bikes I ever rode with a gravity gas tank/fake airbox cover. The handling improved as the gas level went down because the center of gravity kept reducing. Top it off with Termignoni exhausts, marchisini wheels and paoli shocks and beautiful paint, they are still just pure lust and awesomely cool. These formula versions were the hotted up versions of the 750s that were a bit flat below 4rpm but easily fixed with a chip upgrade. ”
Well said Martin!

from the seller:
Rare 1999 Laverda 750S formula. Only 75 imported. Showroom condition. Always kept indoors. Termignoni factory racing exhaust. Only alittle over 1000 miles. Complete shop manual. Great collectors bike. Asking $6000.00
two things to notice about this bike – the mirrors are not stock and also the termi stickers on the exhaust cans are smaller than what was originally provided. All in all it looks really good, although pics of the odometer would have been good-
Those appear to be the standard cans with (small) Termi stickers added.
when the formula was offered you could get the standard carbon fibre skinned cans or pay more for a set of opened/”race cans”.
The standard cans had a small metal placque attached to them (you can kind of see them here – https://evu.hhv.mybluehost.me/raresportsbikesforsale/2-laverda-formulas-for-sale-right-now/) The standard cans were just carbon skinned copies of the original stainless cans offered on the 750s.
I think these are the full termi aftermarket cans that would be more opened up. These cans were offered as an option in the laverda options catalog. They sound great but had to have a chip change in the ECU (and ideally the hotter cams installed) to really make a difference
Cheers
