Very sad to sell :cry:.. hip problems .. cannot ride .. 1983 . Black . HUGE amount of time / monies spent.
Wheels re laqued New coils and engine block rebored / lined to match original . Head reworked . Carbs are Keith Nairns Mikunis which transformed the bike . New Spagg clutch . New stater motor . Petrol tank completely reworked / resprayed and shaped to original shape . Clock are new .. I have the original for spares. Seat is reworked / bum stop new . Seat rear hump resrayed . Horns now PIAA
Shocks now Hagons . Swinging arm bushes new . New tyres . Anything that was chrome is rechromed Battery is an Odesy and starter solenoid new
In short it looks not far off new and one best of all at our Dartmoor Runs by the Exeter Mayor

The exhaust ( new ) fashioned on the JOTA but with much thicker metal .. much more subdued but still sounds great .
Just got it on the 'Historical ' DVLA class .
Asking just £6500 as it has to go .

Nice RGS , a lot of care, careful work and money put into it.....I can understand your predicament do I keep it or not....but if riding it is iffy, then a hard decision like yours comes, I'm not far off that myself.

A fine bike for someone, it's a crying shame that resale values are where they are, very best of good luck selling...I believe good bikes will always sell.

Agree on all points. This appears a really well-sorted bike & a rare opportunity for a younger rider to buy a fantastic motorcycle from a seasoned owner. Upgrades exceed asking-should be a quick sale w/ a bit of promotion- have you posted on F-book?
 
Yes, super nice RGS Corsa, I have owned one myself, it was sold to a friend in Australia. Re: selling our older Laverda, yes, it is not the easiest thing, I can see here in Denmark everything has gone to a standstill when it comes to selling classic motorcycles. But I had a good experience here 2 weeks ago, I am selling a Honda CBR 1000 rr Fireblade, year 2005, only driven 850 km, when I put a sales ad up on FB, my mobile phone went "fire", and it was sold in about 4 hours

There is a far larger market group of riders who had their major riding experience 20 years ago on the uber-sports bike of the time than those who had it on specialist Italian models twice as long ago.
