“Gilera 180, its ok, could be better”
Written on: 18/01/2012 by spinnanz (1 review written)
First thing first, the main reason I got it was because of its looks, this turns out to be good and bad. The good part is that it looks very good for a scooter and is quite fast for a scooter. The bad part is that it looks so good, it looks like it should go faster than it actually does, so some tend to be disappointed with its performance. Top speed on my DNA180 is just under 120kph. Another thing with looks, is the dash board, it looks very nice but the speed on the speedo is quite... (read more)

I got an absolute bargain on this bike. £265 as a stolen/recovered bike. £25 for a new ignition/seat lock set and £25 for logbook and I was good to go.
The bike is heavily modified (Malossi 70cc bore kit, 23mm dellorto carburettor, polini variator/rollers, PM tuning "Boost Bottle" and a few other extras. The bike cruises along at 60MPH @ 11,000RPM and holds it for longish journeys (25 miles+).
The acceleration is ridiculous, easily gets clear of cars at the lights.

The Gilera DNA Scooter is terrible, just had problem after problem. First I experianced electrical faults, if the bike gets a splash of water on it, it wont work. Then the fly wheel shattered and veriator broke, this cost a fortune. Don't know what went wrong in the end, it set on fire whilst I was riding it, so I had to get rid. Oh but it looked pretty.
The bike is held together with screws instead of nut and bolts, so when you take the fairing off you cant get it back on.

I've had my 57 plate Gilera DNA since January. I was impressed with the initial setup of the bike. Unfortunatley the bike was stolen and crashed about four months into having it. It cost £750 for the insurance company to fix and its never been right since. Just not the same. It ran OK for a little while but in the last week or so, the exhaust, starter motor and engine power have all went out the window.

I've had my Gilera dna 50cc since December of last year,
initially I had it restricted as I was still new to biking-
for my birthday in January I got it derestricted- and it certainly makes a big difference.
I think if you're looking for a scooter but don't want to feel like an idiot- get one of these.
you sit as you would on a bike- legs over tank style- rather than feet in front- which I feel is a better riding position for balance when cornering.- a lot safer
The bike has chunky tires- so you...

Good points of my Gilera DNA is that it's very easy to ride like a scooter but looks like a bike.
It's very fast for a scooter mine will do 60mph. Personally if I went back to buying a scooter i would buy a Geard 50 cc but the Gilera DNA is probably the best scooter there is because of its looks an speed.
I'm surprised the scooter hasn't had any problems yet as it has done a massive 12000 miles which is a lot for a 50 but still had no problems.

My bike has been nearly 9000 miles and I have had to change the spark plug regular and top up with some good two-stroke oil but when I first got the DNA it would do 56mph on flat, now when I keep full throttle it seems to just die around 38mph.

I had a simular problem after fitting a leo vince zx powerpipe, I solved the problem by installing a polini variator with heavier rollers(7.5g). I also jetted up the carb, moving up from a size 56 to a 60. It has run like a dream for the past four months and reaches up to 60mph on the flat.

I'm lucky with my mine. I got this Gilera DNA last June with new Malossi Big Bore 70. Exhaust and everything is standard, even the jet is. Good brakes and looks and is reliable if serviced regularly.
I've never had a 50-70cc overtake me, it will reach 65 on the flat which is an honest speed and I have had it touching 79 down a hill.

Help i bought my gilera dna 50 last year for £600 on an 03 plate from some chav in chesire. I have spent £300 havin it drestricted malossi multivar, leo vinci exhaust, kevlar drivebelt, clutch springs etc. It was running great reachin 60+ mph until a small coolant leak developed from my coolant resevoir. I continued to ride the bike anyway until water was literally pissing out of the rear crankcase and the bike would not move as water was on the drive belt and it was just slipping. I took it to a garage and they told me that the water pump had gone and they are about £20 to replace. He then told me the labour cost which was a staggering £210 as it requires a full engine rebuild as the water pump is inside the engine and there is no way of getting to it. I decided to go ahead with this and get a new 1 fitted leaving me £230 out of pocket. The mechanic then discovered that my piston was scored and the barrel too. I could only afford to have a new piston so i had this done as well costing me another £35. I eventually got the bike back a week later. The day i got it back it took a while to start and was running. However it was not as fast on acceleration as it used to be and the engine seems alot louder. On my way a shop to get some two stroke the bugger decided it was going to die on me and would not start again. I have compression, a good spark, fuel is getting to the carb. The bike does want to start but it will only run if I hold my finger on the electric start. Someone please HELP!

Overall, the Gilera DNA is a good bike. It is nice looking, it sounds great and it is quick, if that's what you're into. Mine is still restricted and does 80 (ish). It seems to go forever, and £5 of petrol lasts for ages.
I insured the bike for about £15 per month, and that was with break down cover, whereas an Aprilia RS 125 will cost you a lot more.
The bike looks like it is bigger than a 125, and it does not look like a scooter. But honestly, you are going to come off it, but you will...

I use this bike to get to and from school and college and have had mixed reactions. I personally think the Gilera DNA is a great little bike that accelerates very quickly, but you hit the top end (standard) too quickly. It's also a little erratic at starting when warm - don't know why. overall though it's a good run-around and in my experience I would definitely recommend it. (read more)

I bought a brand new Gilera DNA 180cc in January 2003. I liked the looks, economy and ease of use (automatic). It was always serviced on time with the right stuff. The only trouble it gave me during the first year was a malfunctioning horn which had to be replaced 3 times. About a year ago (about six months after the guarantee expired and ONLY at 10,000KM) the engine began to stall occasionally when I was doing some 60-70Kmh at about 5-6000rpm.

Hi. Was your machine rebuilt by a time served mechanic like myself? Your machine has not been rebuilt correctly. I would certainly go back to the dealer and ask a few questions as to whether they have the necessary skills and knowledge. After a rebuild your machine needs to be run in, but it should still should perform better than it is. You can contact me in the Review Centre forums if you need any more help.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, it has been done by a time served mechanic. When the Gilera DNA goes, it goes well. It will do 50, but go so long then just drop power, especially up hills. A friend said it could possibly be the variators!? Are these expensive and time consuming to change? All I want is for it to run right. I'm intending on saving up for another RG 125, which I had a few years ago, until some nice lady pulled out on me at a roundabout.

Hello mate
<br/>You need to change the variators as the original ones won't let it open up to change gear so if you get some mallosi ones you can get them on e-bay quite cheep as well as sports filters etc which will help the bike breath and go like it should hope this helps?
<br/>I've now got the 125 version which has a lot more pull but still enjoyed the 50 as mine had the all the race gear on it and did 65+ anyway good luck and ride safe........

Very easy to fit a Malossi 70cc kit to my Gilera DNA, best and worth the money, use 6gramme rollers, maybe a speed clutch and a Leovince exhaust. When the exhausts rusts, wire brush and use Halfords high temp proof paint matt black. If you want the exhaust to shine, use some silicone spray for plastics. Does the exhaust, all the rear mudguard, stickers, dash and clocks, any fading. My bike is just like this and will do 83mph down a hill and 68mph on the flat on the duel carriage way. I've...

Written on: 16/09/2006 by sempai boy
The Gilera DNA is a really really good bike, easy to handle even for a learner like me but still very powerful if in needed, ummm it's very reliable.

Good for young drivers, yet can be fairly pricey and the insurance for a learner is exorbitant!

I'd recommend this bike for people that are starting out or for someone that is commuting to work because it goes through traffic easy and keeps the fuel costs down. (£7.50 will get you 150 miles if you take it easy on the...

This bike is a great for gaining some road experience. The lack of gears gives you more focus for the road and what is going on around you. Its quick to start and reliable. I've had no problems so far in either dry or wet weather. The only thing I can say is if you want to get used to the balance of a bike then this is the way forward. The handling is good, but the turning circle is quite wide. It brakes well, and its petrol usage is very economical (£6 for around 120 miles). However, I... (read more)

I love going cruising with my friends on my 50cc Gilera DNA, it shows them all up on there small peds. I like the acceleration and top speed and of course the look of the bike. I also like the digital speedometer. If I could change any thing, I would remove the l plates and raise the height of the bike. (read more)
