One lap Spa Francorchamps on Laverda 750 SFC - Bikers Classics 2016

[@mikekemsley1531]

Ha! I like the way you took the Suzuki on the outside. I used to do that to Harleys on my Norton.

G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 this bought back some great memories of when I owned a RGS 1000 and it was a very sad day when I had to part company with it. I’m 65 now and have health problems could never ride again but I always watch KZbin on bike videos . Take care every one John

[@tommytuckerable]

oh i want more of this. Great riding on a great bike, eating up the opposition. Laverda rules.

[@guzziv7100]

Can watch this all day. Congrats on the bike.

[@steveclark1867]

Wonderful sound, excellent performance!

[@jimstrainsandstuff9539]

What a beautiful piece of classic Italian grunt.

[@Mr121953]

What a glorious sound , an amazing motorcycle ...at times the SFC sounds like a 'Spitfire' ...Oh wondrous magic to behold ! I adore this bike . I think there were only 549 ever built ( need to win the lottery ) !!!

[@darthvisor9289]

Beautiful an fast, iconic bike!

[@christopherhughes2211]

Magnificent!!!

[@andyb.1026]

Always liked Laverda's owned 4 of them, built like combine harvesters

[@jochenwagner5170]

Magnifique!

[@SplendidDragon1]

Great video, thank you. A shame that Piaggio absorbed Laverda in 2004 and they no longer produce them. What a fantastic motorcycle.

[@FireflyActual]

A great video indeed. I'm glad this SFC gets ridden in anger like it's supposed to. The saddest thing about Laverda is that they're not the only great name that got axed. That's what big companies like Piaggio do best - absorbing the best brands in the business and making a mockery out of them (see Lancia-branded American land yachts and GMs repeated attempts to deprive Saab of its heart and soul). They even had the nerve to stick the name 'Laverda' on a cheap Chinese-made scooter... Hopefully one day someone with a big wad of cash will step up and revive the Breganze factory and build gentlemen's road racers worthy of the Laverda name. If I ever win the lottery I might do just that.

[@nigelfisher3756]

Totally agree. A truly great marque gone to waste. Great engineering from Braganza- so sad they’re gone. I was once lucky enough to live the dream; Guzzi Le Mans, Lab’ SF2 and a Hailwood Rep’ in the garage. Fantastic days never to be repeated. Thank God Fiat didn’t completely kill Alfa.

[@robertoautore9252]

What a beast, king of the road.

[@oldergeologist]

That’s a proper motorcycle sound.

[@59jaguar]

O Man, einfach Hammer.

[@tommytuckerable]

[@gmoac]

nice ride!

[@paoloiudici3995]

Ho un ricordo di quanto fosse dura da tirare su in curva

[@sandrocolomba1944]

Però ..era una gran moto..

[@sandrakemkers3158]

You can see the rider gripping the clutch, this was a heavy one.

[@vitodandreano2448]

Con questo genere di moto devi dipingere la strada.

[@pietroreni9682]

Ghe vole do prosecchi prima de saltare su!

[@bigrobnz]

good fun!!!

[@fabriziocristiani9630]

Solid rock

[@oscartravis5740]

Like real life Super Hang On :-)

[@lagerx61]

How hard are the vibrations?

[@guzziv7100]

O zie nu dat jij het bent, Marnix. Zie ik je eindelijk eens rijden.

[@laverdel]

Thanks for the nice comments, Paul. Yes, Marnix drives in front of me starting at 1:45 ;-)

[@frankbutaric3565]

Why do the top triple trees have mounts for handlebars? The SFC came with clip ons

[@laverdel]

The SFC was delivered with clip ons and with mounts for handlebars. Both is correct for that model. I have no information, why Laverda did it that way.

[@toddjohnston1927]

@@laverdel Top triple mount is the same as the SF. Laverda excelled in many things....making big $$ was never one of them unfortunately.

[@rothkopietri]

Sfc with handle bears place in the upper forks clamp?

[@laverdel]

yes

[@TheFrank552]

no, right below....

[@alansivkoff282]

50 year old tech showing how it should be done.

[@detomasopantera1966]

Did I see a 6 cyl Benelli in there???

[@winonabigbrownbeavereater2218]

Nope!! What you saw was a V - 8 327 Boss Hoss..😆

[@frankbutaric3565]

Why use clutch for up shifts?

[@laverdel]

Good question! Perhaps because it gives a good feeling - not to stress the transmission.

[@DavidGoacolou79]

CL◊NE DE LA DUCATi 750 SUPERSPORT 🏍😘👍😊

[@francescogatto3727]

Non direi clone....visto che la 750 sfc Laverda aveva tutt'altra architettura di motore e di telaio!!! Erano ambedue motociclette simboliche certamente....un vero peccato che la Laverda non fosse stata supportata ed aiutata nella sua attività imprenditoriale.....!!!! Lo stato aveva da "sponsorizzare"ben altre persone ed imprese mangiasoldi.....disastri le cui conseguenze ricadono tristemente su tutti noi a distanza di 30-40 anni.....
