Gilera 125

[125E1]

Hi,
I have a Gilera 125 here in Canada.
I need some help identifying what I have,
I have about 95% of the parts needed to complete
this restoration. Please help me identify this bike.
I am totally stoked about riding it soon.
Tonight I am going to soak the chain in Kerosene to
get years of dirt off of it in hopes to re-use it.
Have a look at my project so far.
Please comment.

Regards
Noah Train

something 'vintage' ?
Twin shocks.

Maybe some pics of the plastics would be a help.

Hi Noah!

Well..... be carefull...
Isn't "D6M"....
... but "DGM"
- D (ital. "Direzione")= Directorate
- G (ital. "Generale")= General
- M (ital. "Motorizzazione")= Motorization

Those aren't the first chassis number (three figures),...
... but just the three characters of the "Italian Motorization" acronym!

and...."OM" it's:
- OM (ital. "Omologazione")= Approval

... just the two characters of the "Italian Approval".

So.... after this...
... what's the three figures of chassis number?

Hi Marco,
Can you help me locate the chassis number please?
