Laverda RGS 1000 | eBay

A golden opportunity to obtain a genuine Laverda RGS. with a story attached! Forgot to say that the bike is located in Ely, Cambs. Photos probably don`t do the bike justice.

It does come with a chromed ignition cover....

I’ve got family in Ely!!! Hmmmm .

 

[Paul LeClair]

I would be bidding on that in a heart beat if it was on this side of the pond.........

Preferred payment method? Cash (of the folding type)

 

[Paul Marx]

It'll be cheap when the purchase price is known.

Who was looking for RGS indicators?

He has a buy it now price of £3500 but not showing (I asked if the generator cover was OK in case he decided to break it)
I'm about 10 miles away from it.

Rusty Conrod doesn’t bode well- “ pulled apart for no apparent reason” and four pistons …..happy bidding!

 

[stivesvelo]

No reserve

Rusty Conrod sounds like a Scottish Laverda rider...

 

[Andy J]

More like a Honda racing Manxie..

Sold for £2550, I'm sure Paul Marx will say that's a stupidly high price.

A friend of mine who haunts this forum sold a complete one needing recommissioning for £500 more.

Well Paul, the RGS doesn't float my boat but if I wanted one I would have happily paid that price.

Photos probably don`t do the bike justice. absolutely

Am I the only one who looked at that bike and thought what a fucking mess? A runner for three times the price would probably end up being cheaper to set right, and you'd know from the get-go that it could actually go ...

My money is on it reappearing on eBay shortly, broken for spares. I’m not a fan of breaking bikes but that one looked well beyond economic repair. A nice RGS doesn’t command much more money these days in the UK. If it is broken up then it’ll keep a few more Laverdas going a bit longer and better that way than languishing in a damp shed till it was only fit for scrap.

Quite, though it's important to keep a few shiny ones, even if they don't run properly for bike shows and other social events.
That machine would cost 5 times its selling price to get it good and sell for no more than £8000, and even then, without being in a hurry. And as a spares bike, it will be difficult to recoup the buying price and the buyer will be left with plenty of unwanted parts to scrap.
