The motorbike offered

The 1962 Gilera 124cc Giubileo on offer here, in racing trim, was listed as a “perfect restoration”, winning at the 2012 Dana Point Concours d’Elegance. Prior to concours success, it saw competition, extensively raced in the AHRMA series. Since Dana Point success, this delightful little bike has been a part of the MotoTalbott Museum in Carmel, California. Having been on static display for some time, the bike has been re-commissioned to ready it for sale, but further fettling may be necessary before returning it to its status as track weapon.
