Very nice - brings back memories of the Laverdas I used to own over the years; 2 SF 750's, a Jota 1000 and an SFC 750...

Garauld, very nice lineup there, Jota especially. I would have preferred a 180 degree triple but the RGS just fell in my lap. Was your Jota a 180 or 120? I found this RGS just 4 miles from my home, the owner had grown tired of fiddling with the carbs and ignition, never able to get it to run well. I brought it home, fiddled the Delorto carbs a bit, corrected an improperly installed aftermarket electronic ignition and it fired up real nice. Never put many miles on the bike, it was sort of a love/fear relationship. I loved having the bike around, it was a fun ride and created a stir wherever we went. I feared breaking anything as parts are quite rare, Wolfgang Haerter still has some bits but not cheap. So, I put it on the web and made some good $ with it, easy come, easy go.
