You sure that's not an MZ
Of the regrettable sales in time gone by mine has to be selling my KR1S.
What a bike that was, 50 ish bhp and 130kg. Pokey engine that once in the powerband simply run off the tacho, next gear, and again, and again etc plus an excellent front brake (rear was a bit naff as the wheel wasn't on the floor). Mine has been the only KR1S I've seen which had twin pipes on one side like the RGV, normally they were one each side.
A proper little smelly wing, wing, wing, flying machine, 135 mph on the clock and a serious big bikes of the era humiliater.

But to be honest I probably got more enjoyment building this with my son!
Started as a basket case D7. We cut and bent the frame to lower the seat height and cut out the bottom rail to replace it with a bash plate. Also shorted the front tube to steepen the fork angle. Widened and lengthened the swing arm to take a four inch tyre. Later on it gained a C15 front end.

Mine in for its first MOT in 20years at Easter ……luv it.
Nice job there
Talking of basket cases, this is my sons previous 80.
We bought it with a cracked engine but it came as a pile of bits with a spare pair of secondhand crankcases.

And then turned it into this with lots of new parts i.e. clutch master cylinder, fork seals etc. for example.
Shortly going to put this up for sale if anyone is interested PM me.
2012 Beta Evo 80 big wheel (i.e. full size 21+18) but still a low seat height.
Rebuilt with new piston, mains and seals etc around 3 years ago.
Hydraulic clutch, 6 gears.
Rider now moved up to 125 hence for sale.
Thinking around £1200
