When a mid-nineties Ducati just ain’t cutting it as far as style, panache, build sheet, rarity and dubious build quality are concerned, it’s hard to do better than a contemporary Laverda. Sure, you could go Bimota and snag Japanese reliability with the sex appeal only Italy can muster, but you couldn’t be too much more obvious.
1998 Laverda 750S for Sale on eBay.it
Today’s Laverda 750S solves all of those problems, with a reputation for millimeter-perfect handling, pretty Paoli squishy bits and a proprietary, fuel-injected 750cc parallel twin. The bike appears to have covered just eight kilometers from new, and is supplied with nearly enough spares to make an entire new bike.
From the seller:
I’m interested in selling my 0 miles Laverda 750 S (the bike + spare parts of a 15.000 km sister bike: engine, electric system, forks, wheels. No frame, no fairings).
Top shelf components:
Brembo brake system;
Marchesini wheels;
Paioli forks.Only two items aren’t original: the carbon look mirrors, coordinated with other true carbon details, and the electric system (a more common and reliable Ducati Monster’s electric system is on).
The bike has always been stored in a warm and dry garage, it’s is maniacally well cared, the original tires weren’t in good conditions, hence I switched them with the twin bike’s 5.000 km ones. The bike is ready to roar tomorrow, then it would be a nice deal for collectors and/or users targeting not an ordinary ride. A gorgeous sound and the extreme rarity put the user under the spotlights even on a sunny day.
In case of further need of spare parts, I can put you in contact with “3C moto” company, managed by a former Laverda technician and big lover of the brand who withdrew all the original Laverda parts (or you can straightly contact www.3cmoto.it).
My target price is 5.600 euro (a bike and half, it seems a fair price for a ready-to-use exotica, isn’t it?).
The bike is located in Varese, Northern Italy. I can arrange a worldwide delivery at the purchaser’s cost (air or sea, according to buyer preference). Any precaution and delivery terms (insurance for the transport included) will be agreed according to the destination.

The Laverda 750S represents a throwback to a time when there were still companies that very much felt like they were screwed together by dedicated enthusiasts in a small shop. Japanese bikes are great for obvious reasons, but they all carry just a whiff of their manufacturers’ roots in heavy equipment manufacture.
If you can swing the 5,600 EUR pricetag and import fees, this is a great way to set yourself apart from the crowd.
