Laverda's 750GT (touring) and 750S (sports) models spawned the 750SF late in 1970. 'SF' stood for Super Freni (super brakes), marking a switch from Grimeca stoppers to Laverda's own superior drum brakes. Introduced simultaneously was the 750SFC, a thinly disguised racer that soon came to dominate the endurance races of the day. In 1971 the 750SF was upgraded with Nippon-Denso instruments (replacing the original Smiths) and the following year gained a new cylinder head, larger (36mm) carburettors, Lucas switch-gear and a different exhaust system, becoming the SF1.

This Laverda 750SF was imported from Holland in the 1990s by the vendor as a restoration project. The machine has been stored until recently and is now offered for sale with a large quantity of parts to aid completion. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the completeness or otherwise of this motorcycle prior to bidding. The machine comes with old Netherlands registration papers and is sold strictly as viewed.
