Throughout the 1950s the Gilera name was synonymous with racing. From the publicity surrounding that era of success, the sales of road bikes brought the money in. Most of their machines were lightweight affairs with a 125cc engine, moving up to 150cc and 175cc OHV singles. Expensive outside their Italian home market, the Gilera motorcycles were a rare sight elsewhere. Launched in 1957, the Rossa Extra was a deluxe version of the 175 Sport.
This 1961 Gilera Rossa Extra was purchased by the late vendor over 20 years ago and displayed in the house since. It turns over with compression and would make a nice little lightweight machine once recommissioning has been completed. It comes with an import document and will need to be UK registered.
