Lot 87
c. 1963 Gilera 499cc Saturno 'Special'
Registration no. unregistered
Chassis no.
Post-WW2, Gilera's foremost roadster was the Saturno, its passing in 1959 marking the end of the line for one of Italy's truly great classic motorcycles. This interesting Saturno features a non-standard cradle frame, different swinging-arm rear suspension, a Ceriani-type front fork, and a front brake larger than any fitted to a regular Saturno.
