One of the final developments of the big three-cylinder Laverda, the RGS 1000 was the undisputed star of the 1981 Milan Show. A revised, less peaky version of the latest Jota's 120-degree crank, rubber-mounted engine distinguished the RGS from Laverda's other 1,000cc triples, though the most obvious difference was the cockpit fairing that blended smoothly into the fuel tank. Less noticeable was the lowered frame and altered steering geometry that made the RGS more stable and easier to handle than its predecessors. It was much quieter too, yet the more restrictive silencers had seemingly little effect on the performance of a machine that could still reach 140mph and crack the standing quarter-mile in a little over 12 seconds. Sold new by Fowlewr's of Bristol and acquired by the late owner in June 2006, this RGS has been used sparingly and kept in a dry heated garage. Last taxed in March 2014, it last ran in January 2021 and is presented in good condition throughout, MoT'd to 3rd August 2021. The machine is offered with its original warranty card and owner's manual; a workshop manual; a photocopy parts list; a V5C document; a copy of Laverda Twins and Triples by Mick Walker; and a substantial folder of bills, expired MoTs, SORNs, etc.
