This, the final incarnation of the SF theme, saw Laverda attempt to keep the
(by now) ageing parallel twin viable in a rapidly changing market-place. The
biggest changes concerned the fitment of cast-alloy wheels. Of five-spoke
design, these, like the drum brakes of the earlier SF series machines, were
manufactured by the Laverda-owned FLAM foundry. At the same time, the rear brake
became a disc, again, like the front, a cast-iron 280mm assembly, with
Brembo-sourced twin piston caliper. In line with the latest triples . A tail was
added to the dual saddle, which was now side-opening. By now, both the
instruments and the switchgear were of Nippon-Denso manufacture.
