I will admit to having a soft spot for Gileras but I think this particular model was a lovely looker and it's my bike of choice for the Motogiro, which I will do, one day! :)

I've really warmed to this. I'd quite like a stripped back bike like that, but not with those vibey old tyres on.

I rode the GT version to the Nürburgring for a Performance Bikes article once. It pissed it down all the way there and back, I've never enjoyed a heated seat so much in my life.

We were supposed to be swapping bikes, but neither of us wanted to ride the ZZR.
