Following its acquisition by Piaggio, Gilera introduced a new 122cc engine intended for a range of lightweight '125' models, commencing in 1977 with the TG1 roadster and GR1 trail bike. The five-speed engine/gearbox and frame were shared, while the running gear reflected the difference in the machines' intended spheres of operation, the trail model being equipped with spoked wheels, high handlebars, drum front brake, lower gearing, plastic mudguards, etc. Both models were updated with pumped lubrication in 1982. The vendor has been advised that this beautifully preserved GR1 previously belonged to the owner of a vineyard, who used it sparingly around his estate (the odometer reading is only 3,111 kilometres - approximately 1,900 miles). Offered with a copy of its French Carte Grise, this motorcycle is subject to a NOVA declaration as a new means of transport (duty of 20% is payable by the purchaser).
