That’s an interesting bike. It looks like it shares some components with the planned SFC1000. Does any one have more info?

That looks more like a Zane engine to me in a trellis frame. The "planned SFC 1000" was just an Aprilia Mille RR with some more power, a different frame, orange paint and some Laverda stickers on it. Some nice features like an adjustable headstock angle, but else really an orange Mille RR. Never liked this attempt, as it clearly did show the ignorance of the Aprilia folks to the Laverda brand in my eyes.

Perhaps I should have said design cues: tube frame, rear shock/swing arm arrangement, angular bodywork etc.
Anybody know who built it? Does it have an over bored engine or a different stroke to get to 800cc?
And where is it now?

Didn't that bike go to Australia a few years back when the Italians went over?
It's a one off, very much later than the 1000 prototype. It's first outing was at a do at the Caorle track above Venice.
It must be in the back of a shed in the Veneto somewhere.

I think you will find the bike that went with Laverda Corse to Oz was the prototype SFC4 Using a trellis frame, redesigned bodywork and a 668 engine.
