Although best remembered for its Grand Prix Fours of the 1950s, which won six riders' and five manufacturers' World Championships, Gilera has built roadsters of all kinds and in numerous different capacities. Part of the Piaggio group since 1969, Gilera made an unexpected return to Grand Prix competition in the 250 class in 1992 but failed to repeat the successes of its glory years. Piaggio continues to build lightweight motorcycles and scooters under the Gilera name at its factory in Pontedera. Produced between 1975 and 1989, the CB1 moped was unusual in having a four-speed gearbox rather than the more common 'twist-'n-go' single-speed transmission. In all other respects the CB1 was your 'industry standard' moped.

Supplied new by Parsons Motorcycles of Wiltshire, this CB1 displays a believed-genuine total of only 26 miles on the odometer (an MoT shows 25 miles in 2016). Offered with a V5C document and a top box.
