Is this a SF or GT 750

my 73 has the later SF frame as standard though not stamped GTF on the engine underside.,It"s an original  unmolested UK registered (probably sold by Ralph Allen)Richard Slater reckons
 
May look like a SF frame, but it isn't...  Parts book lists #60 101 019 for GT, #60 1011 370 for SF.  Main difference will be the bracketry for the air box, which the SF didn't have.

Actually 3 frames for the GT.  #1, wide with vertical rear down tube, shared with early "S".  #2, wide with rear down tube angled to swingarm pivot, shared with later "S".  #3, narrow, based on SF frame.

What's the stamping on yours, Shaun?

Presume mine is the third option,  stamping at the back L/H side crankcase is GT, stamping engine number is 750/15219
 
There have been seven differing frames over the years and consequently seven different part numbers.

then you must have either one earlier or one later parts book than mine, so we will go for nine maybe ten then shall we

Hmmmm :-\.. following all the replies I'm still not sure if the bike is mostly original.

It is a GTF, for sure, as its stamped on the engine, but is the tank shape correct, are round mud guards correct.

Any one have a photo of a 1971 GTF, with number around 6 - 7000?

If it was GT stamped on engine I would expect a GT tank and Square muguards, being a GTF leaves me confused, is it half GT and half S/ SF

Thanks

It is over 40 years old and been through how many owners?
Laverdas are like Lego in that you can mix and match most components.
So who is to say it is as it left the factory?
Enjoy it for what it is, not what you think it should be.

I have a late 1973 GTF (engine stamp). It is just a GT with the Laverda first series brakes. It has a standard GT tank and square guards.

I had an early 1974 GT (engine stamp). It was a GT with the second series Laverda brakes. Standard GT tank and square guards.

The 1971 GT tank might have the rack.

You have a 1971 SF tank if it has a flip cap, or an S tank if a screw cap. Either is worth much more than a GT tank.

Cheers,

Rob
