The Italian-built Laverda SFC 1000 wasn't intended for export and so is an unusual sight on American roads.
1988 Laverda SFC 1000 Pictures
The 1988 Laverda SFC 1000 had unusal stylistic touches, such as gold-painted components and an aluminum gauge panel. The bike also featured floating disc brakes and advanced calipers.
The aluminum gauge panel is dominated by a large tachometer redlining at 8000 rpm.
Floating ventilated brake discs are gripped by Brembo calipers.
With the shift to a new crankshaft in the late 1970s, Laverda's triple gained smoothness and power.
Gold-painted frame, wheels, and suspension components added a distintive touch.
