Fritz Egli Laverda 750 SFC

With Phil Aynsley

This is one of two bikes commissioned in 1972 from Fritz Egli by the Swiss Laverda importer, Roland Borel. The bike raced in national as well as international events including the first Imola 200.

Compared to a standard SFC the bike is considerably lower, has a shorter wheelbase (1400mm vs 1470mm), has more ground clearance and at 185kg weighs about 20kg less.

Ceriani GP forks, Lockheed calipers with Scarab discs as well as a Grimeca rear brake are fitted.

Egli went on to make a further 25 frames for the 750 Laverda (up until 1974), before switching to the 1000 triple.
