Moderator Airhead Posted August 22, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2010 I like it Drewpy but you know me and my love of mopeds. It's a Gilera touring I think, as opposed to the trail version with cross braced bar, high front guard and upswept exhaust or the Enduro with its number plates and even higher upswept pipe.

Moderator Airhead Posted August 22, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2010 me too http://www.wheelsofitaly.com/wiki/index.php/Gilera http://www.wheelsofitaly.com/wiki/index.php/File:Gilera_3_001.jpg I can see it's not a 'Touring moped' so it looks to be a 'Touring RS' The seat looks short though? it does have pillion pegs.

Moderator mervin Posted August 24, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2010 Looks like a good project Drewps, the last RD i restored was worse than that, and he will have a decent bike rather than a twist and go hairdrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
