By 1980 the Gori concern was concentrating practically all its efforts on off-road machinery, either motocross or enduro, using Hiro engines. Typical was the 125 RG. Its impressive specification included: a six-speed gearbox; Sachs Hydracross rear shock absorbers; Dell'Orto PHF30 carburettor with fully sealed air filter; 35 mm competition forks with rubber gaiters; Metzeler tyres; Magura levers; and unbreakable plastic for the mudguards, tank and side panels. All in all, it was a high class off-road racer with lights.
