Congratulations to Ernesto Quiroga of Long Beach for winning Bike of the Month with his Laverda SFC 1000.
Ernesto won a trophy provided by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys.
Ernesto has only owned the Laverda for a short time, he found it on EBay from an out of state collector.
Except for tires, this bike is 100% original as it came from the factory with only 698km (433 miles) on the clock.
1988 was the last year of production for the original Laverda motorcycles according to Ernesto, this was 1 of 200 SFC 1000's built in 1988.
Ernesto replaced the tires serviced the brakes and replaced many of the original rubber bits to get it back out on the street.
No stranger to Vintage Bike OC, Ernesto has won Bike of the Month three times before:
November 2007 1972 Ducati Desmo 450 SS
December 2007 1961 Aermacchi C 250cc
May 2009 1961 Ducati 175 Sport
Thank you Ernesto for bringing your Laverda for all of us to see. See all the photos in our November Gallery.
