Post Listing Update: This SF2/SFC did not meet reserve with 13 bids up to $13,100.
I love this bike, and the seller tells a great tale as he details his history with his SF2-turned-SFC750 replica. I highly recommend that you click on through to the listing just to see how obviously passionate he is about his Laverda.
The short version of the seller’s story is that he found this bike on Italian eBay in 2012. The bike had already been built by an Italian engineer who owned a real SFC but thought it was too valuable to race, so he built a clone out of a SF2 by slapping on the bodywork and modifying the motor with Carillo rods and then the crank, cams, pistons, valves, and porting from a SFC. Compression is now 10.8:1.
The current seller imported and titled it in the US, but he did not plan on racing it. But when you’re friends with passionate racers, you get sucked in, and that’s what happened here. He started racing on a different bike but eventually he couldn’t help taking the Laverda out. It placed 5th overall in the AHRMA Formula 750 National Championship in 2015, and it must have been beautiful to watch.
The bike will come with a street fairing, SFC tach, SFC tach, SFC sidecovers, but unfortunately the original fiberglass tank is no longer available. Still it’s got a beautiful steel tank on it and it’s not like this bike was an original SFC anyway, right?
The seller is the owner of New York City Motorcycles – I don’t know him, but after reading about the other bikes he owns I sure want to! The seller notes that this bike is “tired” and that it could benefit from a new top end and porting as well as a simplified wiring harness.
