SFC1000 #001 for sale, not mine.

Yes, that looks very nice, but I don't understand sellers not willing to get the bike running (if it does indeed run) and still expect to get premium prices.

well spoted, Gert. You might not believe it, but they are the original ones... Not sure what Laverda did there, but that's how it came to germany. The Bike has some special parts that identifies it's "prototype alike" state of build (though it's NOT the prototype, it was built and imported to Germany just before the first serial bikes and clearly after the prototype).
 
Ah - yes, indeed. The more interesting one would be the real prototype though, that still exists, but has been modified (front wheel 18" now instead of originally 16", the "colored" instruments have been replaced by white ones). Piero knows where it sits, but last time I checked, the owner did not want to part with it. That's 7 or 8 years ago though, might have changed his mind, bike might have changed hands etc. - who knows...
 
"Not mine" either! I could see this escalating to twenty of I didn't stick to my limit. At this point, I'm fortunate to have my 180 which has less patina.
I like the look of the stock RGS cans, but what has been intimated here is that they rust out super quick. And sure enough...
