A very nice example of a 1974 SF 750 up for sale

If I'm not completely mistaken, production of the rear Metzeler ME 99A tyre ceased around the year 2K. Makes me wonder what other short cuts have been taken. :rolleyes:

Nicely polished and presented though...

I have been looking for a nice 750 SF, and this one is on my radar. I have been in touch with the seller, who bought the bike, along with a Ducati, from the previous owner in San Francisco a couple of years ago. I would prefer an SF2, so this one kind of fits the bill. I would greatly appreciate any comments regarding pros, cons, and pricing on this one. I would also greatly appreciate any other options if anyone knows of a nice 750 SF for sale. It will be ridden regularly, but at semi-old man speeds.

The Vin number does not correlate
It should read LAV.750SF2*1????*
CLEM

The VIN is SF2*17641*

According to the LAVERDAMANIA list it is a very late 1974 build.

That particular VIN is not listed, however it is sandwiched between two very close numbers which are listed as sent to the United States.

I see this as a very nice SF and represents a good example of a near 49 years old motorcycle. The seller 'Throttle Stop' has a 100% satisfaction rating on its website. Throttle Stop does not present it as being 100% original and with Laverdas history of assembling new production bikes from available parts who knows what it came with originally, the seller stated it is lightly modified and that is how it looks to me. So it has 10 years old non-original tires, easy fix, and new horns, and it looks like it is to be a rider, not a mantlepiece trophy.
An SF recently sold for $17K us on 'Bring a trailer that looked very nice indeed but to my eyes not as nice as this one, who knows?
If I had the money I would seriously consider buying this bike, Oregonian if you want it I would say go for it now, there are many lurkers
on eBay, 120+ plus watchers/lurkers for this bike. I believe it to be a very good price/value, Cheers Dave

ps, I think the older style instrument mounts that use the alloy handlebar clamps look better than the latter ones, the mounts can be modified not to crack. Marnix I am wondering how can you tell the calipers are 1975 or older they all look the same to me, thanks.

Museum quality?
An unridden bike?
I'd prefer a dirty ridden one any time. A motorcycle that isn't ridden is only half a motorcycle.
Or leave a lot less money.
