- Now eligible for the Motogiro d'Italia
- Restored by Italian specialist, rare model
Motogiro d 'Italia is the historical re-enactment of the oldest and most prestigious Italian motorcycle race in stages. Born in 1914
In the early 50s, new regulations in Italy allowed access to motorways for motorcycles with a minimum capacity of 150cc, so Gilera upgraded its 125 to 150cc. The 150 presented in 1952 became Gilera’s best selling motorcycle, ever with 96,000 units produced. The 150 was what the public wanted, and Gilera responded with the introduction of the Gran Turismo in 1955, followed by the Super Sport and Super Red in 1957.
This lovely example was lovingly restored by an Italian bike specialist, more recently being UK road registered, and so is ready to be enjoyed on British roads.
The vendor advises us the bike is now eligible for Motogiro d'Italia, "Ride The Legend", the historical re-enactment of the oldest and most prestigious Italian motorcycle race.
