• 1985 Laverda RGS1000 Executive with genuine panniers
• Has been stored in the vendors barn for a number of years

The roots of the Laverda Motorcycle company go back to 1873 when Pietro Laverda began producing agricultural equipment in Breganza in North-East Italy. Like many other Italian firms, they diversified into motorcycles after the second world war manufacturing good quality and for the time relatively innovative bikes. By the 1960s they had progressed onto bigger capacity engines launching the 750GT in 1969 and the limited edition SFC production racer in 1971. The 1000c three cylinder range was launched in the early 1970s to compete against the new breed of Japanese superbikes, with the famous Jota being the fastest production motorcycle to date. The RGS, aimed at the sports tourer market, was one of the last bikes made by the factory before it ceased production in the mid 1980s.

This 1985 RGS Executive, being offered at no reserve, was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure took everything home and mothballed them in his barn. It is quite a rare bike with its genuine Laverda panniers and fuel filler cap in the front fairing along with some aftermarket Motodd engine protectors. The bike has been stood for over 20 years so will need a good recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C. Unfortunately, after years of storage, the vendor can't find the keys to this bike at the moment.
