The truth is that a lot of "SFC" owners have no idea of what they own. A lot of honest people have paid big money for replicas because they didn't research the bike properly. And so the "myth" is passed on from one owner to the next.Fun fact: There were more serious sellers offering dubious SFC than dubious sellers offering serious SFC
Even auction houses don't know what they're selling. I had an "SFC" taken out of an auction some years back when I proved to the auctioneer that the machine was a replica. And a very bad one at that.
Fulfilling a desire is an excellent means of taking money from people. Prostitutes and pimps know all about that.
