Produced after World War II until 1959 as a 498 cc (30.4 cu in) OHV single with 22 bhp (16 kW) @ 5,000 rpm and swinging-arm rear suspension using parallel, twin horizontal coil springs. The racing version designated Saturno San Remo was campaigned with success in Italian national and international races but was unable to compete with the multi-cylinder and overhead camshaft opposition.
This Gilera Saturno on offer has been enjoyed by the current vendor since 2014. A previous older restoration by a Mr D. Kirby, it appears to have been restored to a very high standard. It has campaigned at many race events since 2016 with some success, including taking to the track at the famous Goodwood Revival in 2016. There is a data sheet on file with all the current specs of the machine and setup. The motorcycle is offered complete with the original front wheel.
