The Appeal
The Laverda 750 SF is one of the most respected Italian sporting motorcycles of the 1970s. Inspired by Honda's CB77, the 750 SF emerged at a time of great change in the motorcycle industry, when Japanese manufacturers were leading the charge. That meant European firms had to up their game, and that's exactly what Laverda did.
This 1973 example stands out for its remarkable originality and low mileage, having covered just 21,627 miles (35,900 km) in its 50+ year lifetime. While maintaining its original character, this 750 SF benefits from thoughtful upgrades, including a German electronic ignition system and an Australian clutch extension lever that enhances the riding experience without compromising the Laverda's classic appeal.
