•  Then from 1982 to 1983 came the 1000 RGA,

•  The 1000 RGS (red) since 1983.

 The design was made by RG Studio de  Franco Marlenotti. (like  the Morini Turbo).

•  Then came the 1000 RGS Exécutive with bags  and fairing expanders.

(a few produced models).

•  The 1000 RGS Corsa was produced from 1984 to 1986,

•  And finally the 1000 SFC since 1985 until the end of the production in 1989.( It's the Corsa's engine, a specific cosmetics and cycle part, 300mm brake discs, Marzocchi fork M1R and a less weight).

•  The Laverda 1000 RGS Corsa  is an improved version of the 1000 RGS, spécific cylinder head with larger valves, camshafts, hight compression pistons & braking Brembo gold séries, PO8 caliper, it was the first stock motorbike delivered with this racing brakes and in all black color. It has a new gear box up to the "Japanese standard".

                                        (sélector on the left).

•  Vibrations (good) are filtered via big silents blocks.

•  A classical line for a naked bike

•  Original tank.

• Specifications:
•  3 cylinders, 2 over head camshaft, 75 x 74, 98 CV à 8500 rpm,

        Publicity         

•  maximum torque 7,98m.kg à 7000 rpm, speed max 220 km/h.
•  double front brakes discs Brembo  P.O. 8 calipers Gold séries, rear 1 disc idem front.
•  Marzocchi Hydraulic fork (diameter 38 mm), Marzocchi shocks absorber at the rear, (Koni in France).

• The main différence is from the crankshaft, at 180°on the older 1000, at 120° on RGS séries. This chock authorizes higher full speed engine, (to the detriment of the feelings will say the 180° crankshaft "aficionados", however this engine is not wishy-washy !).
