When did the Gilera DNA 50cc come out?
Introduced into the UK in July 2000, the Gilera 50cc DNA was a ground breaking hybrid of a motorbike and a scooter. The DNA 50 featured larger (14 inch) wheels and front forks and body layout similar to a motorbike, whilst using a twist and go engine, automatic transmission and drive from a scooter.
Is there a Gilera bike up for sale?
Up for sale is a fantastic piece of Italian, post-war design. This bike wears a beautiful patina, exudes style and shows that even simple machines can be elegantly designed. I purchased this bike 4 years ago, from a man that had it on display in his office with the hope of restoring it mechanically.
What’s the average MPG on a Gilera DNA?
I just wondered what is the average miles per gallon in urban areas. It’s think the Gilera DNA 50cc is supposed to get around 40 to 50 MPG (I seem to remember reading that somewhere!). But, the MPG will be less on models that have had performance engine, carb and exhaust mods.
When was the first Gilera 500cc motorcycle made?
In 1952 Italian machines had won the 125, 250 and 500 world road-racing championships, Gilera taking the 500cc title with its DOHC in-line four. With a 500cc championship on display, Gilera decided to build a sportier utility bike.
What kind of oil does Gilera DNA 50 use?
As a general rule of thumb, because their owned by younger riders they will normally have been thrashed within an inch of their lives and run on shite/cheap/poor quality 2 stroke oil (Gilera DNA 50’s really don’t like to be run on anything less then a good quality, fully synthetic 2T oil !).
Where do you find the frame number on a Gilera DNA?
You’ll need a Gilera DNA Haynes manual… Frame number location….. The frame number can normally be found stamped on the right side of the headstock (right as your sitting on the bike). Useless stuff….. The DNA was sold by Gilera in the UK with the strapline ‘100% Scooter, 100% Motorbike, 200% Radical’.
