1985 Laverda 1000 RGS CORSA
The 1985 MY Laverda 1000 RGS Corsa is a more race-oriented version of the base RGS, having almost all of its parts derived from professional racing motorcycles. At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 981cc, transverse three cylinder powerhouse mated to a five-speed manual transmission, and can produce 97 horsepower and 90 Nm of torque.
It is arguably the most powerful machine to bear the Laverda logo up to date, and features such as the high-end Marzocchi suspension package and the race-derived Brembo brakes only add to the desirability of this gritty machine.
