If you're referring to the bike in the photos, Drikko, then yes: that's the prototype that Aprilia brought out in 2002, but never went any further. It was fitted with an Aprilia RSV 1000 engine, btw.drikko said:
Here's another shot:
And a sadly over optimistic press release from September 2003 here:

And a more realistic review and update from August 2010 here:

That said, I think the poster may be a bit mis-guided
. He's actually looking to buy one of these bikes, not sell one ("Cerco moto laverda sfc 1000 ..."). He's heading for disappointment, I suspect ...

Ah, Shaun, but I think you misunderstand the approach of the Italian seller (and, frankly, it's often pretty much the same here in France).
Start off with an (often grossly) inflated asking price and, hey, if you sell at that price, great
. But, in reality, be prepared to negotiate down (and often a long way ...) if no one bites .I suspect this mentality is one reason why eBay struggles a bit in the Latin countries. In the UK, States, Oz and other Anglo-Saxon nations (as the Fench like to call them
), there's an acceptance that starting an auction low entices people to bid. But that goes against the grain here - the Big Fear is that whatever it is I'm selling might actually go for peanuts ... :'('Different strokes, different folks.'

Couldn't agree more Craig.
Here in Spain the prices asked aren't as greedy as the Italian ones but still way over the odds. Especially for the condition the bikes are in.I think it is part what you say and also they see the big prices asked in other countries and want a piece of that too. Except that they must be looking at their bikes through beer goggles or something.
I have to negotiate hard to get the prices down to reflect the condition of the bike in question. But it is accepted that the price will comedown, just by how much is the tricky part.
