Lightweights, scooters and mopeds formed the mainstay of Laverda production up to the late 1960s when the small Italian concern, hitherto little known outside its home country, astonished the motorcycling world by introducing a 650cc parallel twin. After fewer than 100 had been made, the engine was taken out to 750cc and a team of 650 and 750 Laverdas duly walked away with the 1968 Moto Giro d'Italia. The first 750 GT (touring) and 750 S (sports) models spawned the 750 SF late in 1970. 'SF' stood for Super Freni (super brakes) and marked a switch from Grimeca stoppers to Laverda's own superior drum brakes. With the arrival of the SF1 (as seen here) in 1972, the model benefited from an extensively revised engine; larger carburettors; Conti silencers (replacing Lafranconi); and Lucas switch-gear, while the Nippon Denso instruments had been introduced the previous year. This SF1 was purchased by its late owner in 2007 (receipt on file). First registered in 1974 as 'XXJ 61M', the Laverda had been reregistered as 'DBY 514M' in 1988. Last MoT'd in 2017/2018 and last run in 2020, the machine is presented in generally good order but would benefit from tidying. It comes with a workshop manual; a repair and tune-up guide; and a substantial folder of history: original logbook; old/current V5C documents, bills, MoTs, SORNs, etc.
