Gilera - Giubileo - 98 cc - 1959

PLEASE NOTE: for pick up only in Macerata, Central Italy. Gilera Giubileo 98 in good condition. With original Italian papers. Launched in March 1959 to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the Gilera brand, the Giubileo range had a smaller displacement (98 cc) and smaller dimensions than its predecessors, such as the Saturno, but still featured important innovations: the camshaft cylinder and the rods for controlling the rocker arms and valves moved from right to left, and the lower part of the oil sump was equipped with large longitudinal fins for better cooling. The price of the first model was £140,000, more accessible than larger-displacement bikes such as the Gilera 175 Sport sold for £224,000, but with sporting qualities that were demonstrated by numerous victories, first and foremost the prestigious triumph at the “International Six Days” in 1960. In addition to its success in competitions, the Giubileo in its various versions (Extra, Rossa, Sport, Sei Giorni) also achieved a sales record: Gilera produced almost 60,000 units. pick up only in Macerata, Italy.
