Gilera DNA 50

Comfort review: This largely depends on what year your bike was manufactured. From 2007 onwards, Gilera opted to go with 'streetfighter' style upright handlebars, as opposed to the previous sporty ones. I have owned a 2008 'streetfighter' style DNA for a period of 6 months, and I found it to be very comfortable. The bike has a low seat height which is suitable for shorter riders. The seat on the 2008 model remains unchanged from previous models and is quite comfortable over long distances. Coupled with the now upright sitting position, it was only minor uncomfort I experienced over a 50 mile ... more

I bought my Gilera DNA 50 at the end of August 2005, soon after my 16th birthday. The first day I saw it I fell in love - its looks amazing in Dragon Red with 2 white stripes going all the way across it! The purchase price was £2065, which broke down as £2000 purchase price, including registration fees and the £15 years road tax, and £65 for my CBT. The first day I saw it out of the showroom was the day I did my CBT. It rides extremely well, and even my examiner wanted to have a ride! Its is a very capable bike, and as it is a "twist and go" type bike you don't have to learn how to change gear ... more

Hi, This is my first review so contructive critisism is appriciated. I Apologise for any grammer mistakes. Price... I bourght a Gilera DNA 50 Brand new, from a local Motorcycle Shop for a Tidy £1700.

The bike Struck up 1st time on both the electric start and the kick start. I decided to take the bike home through a few narrow windy roads and then onto a main road. The ride was perfect. Never have i felt such smooth performance even on ... more

i've had this gilera dna for just over a year and its been the best of my life. i love this bike!!!!! i've just bought dunlop front and back tyres for this and jesus, it sticks to the road. i always manage to get my knee down at high speeds. the accelaration is superb, beating of most peds. beware though it slows down a bit when de-resticted. the top end speed is restricted to 25-30 mph which in my mind is dangerously slow. i de-restricted mine and it reach speeds of 45-50mph. i then decided to mod my bike. i got an after-market exhaust, gear up kit, variator kit, unrestricted my rpm clock and ... more
