That's pretty arrogant, I have this thing about dealing with that stuff. I don't.We did discuss the CR marks a while back. Seems there are plenty of higher spec heads that dont have CR stamp

I'd disagree with that.  The Corsa head was the best the factory produced, no question.  All the cracking problems are ironed out and the port and valve sizes are spot on.  They make great power and a great power spread, and do it with quiet pipes and skinny collector and all. 
Now I'm sure there have been heads modified by various people that may do better (and many which are nothing more than ruined castings after), but ex factory the Corsa and SFC1000 are the biz.

As for the seller, with a response like that I would walk.
 
I thought that there were some SFCs and Corsas that didnt have the CR stamp on the head that are full corsa spec and came from the factory like that. There was a long thread on that years back.Or have I got that wrong.

Mi dispiace Vincenzo!
I misunderstood you there. ✌️ I took it to mean, "meh, Corsa head, seen better..." which didn't really compute. I should have read it twice.
 
I try really hard to be short and concise, its so easy to missread stuff no matter how tight you try and make stuff. 100% correct Laverda, what's that look like.

Don't think anyone's doing that, Steve.  Just asking the kinda of questions which any seller should be able - and willing - to answer.

(And, "It's the correct one", does fall somewhat short of the mark, IMO  :D)
 
The bike is sporting a BC Vintage plate which is VERY restrictive regarding riding i.e. parades,special events etc. Not allowed to
pleasure ride. That alone would raise a red flag as far as provenance and legitimacy of the ad. Caveat emptor.
 
Good to know. Seller not too communicative. I assumed he sold it locally. Was thinking to go see, but I understand borders closed to US travelers. Brett was trying to get someone to see on my behalf, but maybe just as well. Usually it's the buyer who is the time waster yes..

Excuse me? The Vintage Plate has nothing to do with the provenance of the bike! I want to get the vintage plates for my bikes but that doesn't mean that they change their value ......... I just want cheap insurance. In fact .... if I play my cards right I can get a single plate that will apply to several bikes and then I get even cheaper insurance!

"Caveat emptor"? So because he found a way to get cheap insurance he is cheating us in what way?

Vintage plates actually only allow "pleasure" riding and parades and such ...... not sure what you think the problem is but there are Collector Plates which are less restrictive but neither one restricts the quality of the bike.
