Scooter News Gilera GP 850 Corsa Gilera creates a track only version of the GP 850. Named the GP 850 Corsa this beast shows all the signs of wanting to go fast, very fast.
Photos by Motoblog.it Gilera at the Eicma Show in Milan put it best sporting foot forward by introducing the GP 850 Corsa concept.
Sharing
a few components from sister sportsbike manufacturers like Aprilia the
GP 850 Corsa celebrates Gilera's 100 years of racing history.
And it
sure does do it in style with front upside down forks and radial
caliper brake set up whilst finishing it off at the rear is an Ohlins race
ready shock.
Colour wise Gilera have stuck with the "100 Year"
theme with a splashing of carbon fibre and gold painted wheels. A
Ram-Air style nose cone and twin up-swept straight though pipes scream
track use only.
Up the front end in the cockpit we have a digital race dash and a "Push Button Start" feature.
All
to attract attention and interest in a "Race It" culture country such
as Italy, Gilera's interpretation of a track scooter has to be on the
money.
