Registration no. unregistered
Frame no. 263358 (on riveted plaque)
Engine no. 263358

Post-WW2, Gilera's foremost roadster was the Saturno, its passing in 1959 marking the end of the line for one of Italy's truly great classic motorcycles. This interesting Saturno features a non-standard cradle frame, different swinging-arm rear suspension, a Ceriani-type front fork, and a front brake larger than any fitted to a regular Saturno.
