[ZeroIndex]

I've got $20 in my wallet right now.. seriously though.. what 'offer' range is it in?

[Paul in NZ]

Very nice....

Possible worth as an S Type but bloody nice lookin bike.

How much is he wanting? Market is a bit flat for them locally at the moment so I'd suggest listing it internationally if you could.

Love the sound of a V twin Commando....

[texmo]

hes gonna put it up on ebay soon.

[JeremyW]

That is a damn beautiful bike! If only I hadnt let that money tree die over winter....

[Winston001]

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH...........................groan... ............dribble dribble..........

I WANT IT!


But no. I'm sensible and mature. And a Thruxton is really the modern equivalent without the oil leaks, etc. Sorry mate but thanks for the dream. Beautiful bike. :dodge:

Especially the double overhead cam model

Don't forget the thing that goes PFFFFFFFFFT between gear changes.

Nicely done piece of work, with the Laverda SFC replica look going on :yes:

still a classy old piece of machinery :yes:

Never heard a V-Twin commando.... though the Parallel-Twin does sound great! ;)

Seeing as I am in a pedantic mood.... thats a Norton production racer replica.... first appeared in 1971 I think (off the top of my head) about the same time as the SFC.... but it aint no SFC replica!!!!

The Norton twin has a 3 piece bolt up crank,it's easy to make a 270deg crank.....so who knows,it could be a V twin in disguise.

Personaly I'd prefer a plain Roadster or Interstate,I'm not too keen on the Cafe racer look,been there,done that.

I was meaning visually speaking :bleh:

:nono: if you have a close look at it, it's a JPN replica, just like Norman White & Rex Butcher rode to victory in the 1973 Thruxton 500 mile race :yes:

It should be White with a Red frame & have a disc front brake (norvil disc/ lockheed caliper). It would be worth more if it was original.

A Laverda 750 SFC is completely orange bodywork & has a twinleading shoe drum front brake.
