Gilera “Saturno Sport”, 1952, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most important models for Gilera, the Saturno is considered a masterpiece<\/strong> of Italian motorbike production. According to experts it had just one rival: the\u00a0Moto Guzzi Falcone.
\nThe successore of the Otto Bulloni<\/em><\/a> was designed by Luigi Salmaggi<\/strong> in the late 30s and presented at the 1940 Milan Show<\/strong>.
\nThe outbreak of WWII delayed the production that started later, in 1946.
\n<\/strong>In 1951\/52<\/strong> the Gilera Saturno underwent substantial modifications to the suspensions, with the adoption of telescopic forks<\/strong> at the front and more modern swingarm<\/strong> at the back.
\nThis version of the\u00a0\u201cSaturno Sport\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is probably the most beautiful and elegant for the semplicity of the shape among the four available versions: \u201cSport\u201d, \u201cTurismo\u201d, \u201cCompetizione\u201d and \u201cCorsa\u201d.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
