History
The twin-cylinder Gilera 125 Bicilindrica made its successful debut in 1956 at Monza, driven by Romolo Ferri, beating the favourite, the MV Agusta of Ubbiali. Designed by Franco Passoni, it scored numerous successes in its first year, but the following year only competed in two races in the Italian championship before Gilera withdrew from racing.
The model featured numerous advanced technical solutions such as the frame with double upper and lower cradle, a boxed tank designed specifically to be fitted with fairing, two large light alloy brakes with double cam and double control lever.
