I started off riding on a 100cc 2-stroke scooter about 2 1/2 years ago. that was fun and i loved it- until the day i saw an advertisement in a bike magazine for a new breed of scooter - the Gilera DNA. I always wanted a motorbike, but wanted the fun and ease of a twist and go. When i saw that advertisement - i knew i just had to have one! I sold my trusty Peugeot Vivacity 100cc, i was sad to see it go, but i found a good home for her. Then i rushed out to buy my new 125cc 'motorbike'. i opted for the metallic blue, but you can get it in dragon red, yellow or black.you can also get it in 180cc version - 4 stroke. The great things about this bike are: 1. It really looks like a motorbike, but it has no gears. 2. It has a really low seat height, which is great for short-arses like me. (i'm only 5'2"). 3. It's a 4-stroke and sounds really good. 4. You can buy it new for £2449. 5. It has space under the 'petrol tank' for a full-face helmet. Specs: single cylinder 4-stroke engine, top speed of 70mph (104kmph), dial rev counter with digital instrument panel, kerb weight of 137kg (ideal for small people like me), disk brakes on both front and rear, hydraulic front suspension and adjustable rear suspension shock absorbers, 14"wheels front and rear, electronic ignition, back-up manual ignition,
In a recent survey by 'Men and Motors', the DNA came 3rd best, good eh?
I don't know an awful lot about the workings of bikes, all i know is that it handles like a dream. i feel much more stable, because you are sitting astride it and can grip with your legs and feel like you are one with it,(unlike a scooter, where you feel you are just sitting ontop of it), and it is sooooooo much fun!
