1969 Gilera 98cc Superbike For Sale

As with many Italian brands, two wheels and four, racing gave Gilera its identity. Based in Arcore in northern Italy, Gilera first sprang to prominence in the late 1930s when its supercharged four-cylinders trounced BMW in Grand Prix racing and then snatched the world speed record away from the Germans. Throughout the early 1950s it was the racers that again grabbed the headlines, the marque's fantastic multis taking five manufacturer's titles and six individual GP championships in the hands of riders such as Geoff Duke, Libero Liberati and Umberto Masetti.


Although racing generated valuable publicity, it was sales of road bikes that paid the bills. The majority of machines sold were lightweights based on the overhead-valve 125 single that had appeared in prototype form in 1948. Developed and enlarged first to 150 and then 175cc, these simple ohv singles, built in both Turismo and Sport versions, proved top sellers throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, although their high price outside Italy made them a relatively rare sight.

This is the smaller capacity Gilera Giubileo a 98cc four stroke single cylinder motorcycle.



This machine.

Acquired in auction in early 2019 the motorcycle was restored at the end of 2019 and runs beautifully and an easily achieve speeds just above walking pace ... OK maybe 50 mph. we have not registered this with the DVLA, its possible to do so but we will leave this up to the new lucky owner should they decide to unleash this missile on the Queens highway. for £2. 5k its a steal, its a deal it's the sale of the bleedin century
