Straight from BaT
This 1974 Laverda 750 SFC is one of 222 built for the 1974 model year, and this European-market example was imported to Australia in 1985 and subsequently refurbished. It was purchased two decades later by author Ian Falloon, whose book The Laverda Twins & Triples Bible features this 750 SFC on its cover. Finished in orange, the motorcycle is powered by an air-cooled 744cc parallel-twin linked with a close-ratio five-speed transmission. It is also equipped with a two-into-one exhaust system, a magnesium gearbox cover and rear hub, a zinc-plated frame, Ceriani suspension, triple disc brakes with 280mm rotors and Brembo calipers, and laced wheels with Borrani shouldered aluminum rims as well as a headlight, a taillight, a half fairing, a clear windscreen, a solo saddle, and a center stand. The motorcycle was acquired by the seller in 2024, and work performed in preparation for the sale included replacing the fuel line, flushing the brake fluid, cleaning the dual Dell’Orto carburetors, and setting the ignition timing and points as well as changing the oil and battery. This 750 Super Freni Competizione was imported to the US before it was acquired by the seller in 2024, and it is now offered with a hardcover Falloon Report, a copy of The Laverda Twins & Triples Bible, a service invoice, a removed two-into-two exhaust system, and a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s LLC.
