Gilera DNA 50 2000

[ART-ADS]

2000 Gilera DNA 50

bought it last autumn for £850 off ebay derestricted

Good points

very very tough bike, dropped it 3 times only plastic scuffs, when I dropped the scoot all the plastics broke

pretty quick for a 50

lots of storage under the fake tank

water cooled

cool looking 50

sounds good with the viper exhaust

strong brakes

Bad points

very heavy for a 50

had starter issues, tuning issues with the carb

fouls spark plugs often

either all the power or none at all

has a hard time getting up hills mainly due to its weight

seems to hang in a high gear often and the automatic gearbox cant adapt

used to cut out in the rain

dangerously dim lights

poor fuel mileage

would I get another

maybe, it'd have to be perfectly tuned in perfect condition for me to buy another one, its a pain in the arse most of the time, some days it stats right up others I'm stuck kicking the **** over 100 times and pulling the carb lol. dim headlights make riding at night very very dangerous, its fairly heavy as well so that doesn't help. but to an untrained eye it looks like a bike not a scoot and that's worth a lot when your mates are in cars.
