• Offered from a private collection
• Built in 2012 using factory drawings
• Modified swinging arm
This Laverda 750 SFC Replica was purchased from Bonhams 2015 Stafford Sale and has been on display in the vendors collection since. The previous owner advised that this 750SFC replica was built in 2012 using factory drawings for the Series '11000' batch. It is the final model fitted with the drum brakes (the optional Ceriani 4LS). The machine features a modified swinging arm with reinforced pivot and rear-axle; steeper shock absorbers; V-shaped asymmetrical centre stand (to accommodate the original 2-into-1 competition exhaust); an original Laverda road-use exhaust system; original Borrani wheel rims; Dunlop TT tyres; an all new electrical system using the original switches and lighting equipment; Verlicchi handlebars; Magura twist-grip; ethanol-resistant vinyl ester fuel tank; Carello headlamp; and Smiths rev-counter.

Highlights of the engine specification include a rebuilt, lightened crankshaft; new Asso pistons; new valves and springs; new 2/C camshafts; Dell'Orto 36mm carburettors; and all new bearings and seals. Only some 500-or-so kilometres had been covered since the rebuild' s completion and the machine is presented in commensurately good condition. On offer at a fraction of the price of an original, this beautiful 750SFC replica comes with Netherlands registration papers, technical inspection and a 2015 'NOVA acknowledgment' to assist UK buyers to apply to the DVLA to register an imported motorcycle. The machine will require recommissioning.
