2002 Gilera DNA 180 review from Malta
"A great (and expensive) delusion"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The horn malfunctioned during the first year.
Engine dies regularly when I'm doing about 70kmh at some 6000rpm with a few loud BANGS. It had ONLY done 1000km from NEW. I took it to the local Piaggio mechanic for repairs and collected it after 3 months. It began to stall again within a week.
I handed it AGAIN to the Piaggio mechanic and collected it after yet another 3 months. It was stalling AGAIN after ONLY 2 weeks. The so called "repairs" cost a total of some 500 Euros.
General comments?
It's a sporty bike, but I could never find a comfortable riding position.
Too heavy (137kg) for a 180cc.
