Built around Gilera's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2009 Gilera Nexus 300 Centenario relies on a 292 cc (17.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant.
On the scales, the Nexus 300 Centenario measures 173 kg (381 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,530 mm (60.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
