Hey guys! I'm new here. I came across this site just a few days ago and have been looking at quite a bit of info on and about the scooter scene. A lot of what you've all posted has been a great help, thanks.
Anyway, as the title says, i'm in search for a Gilera DNA 50. The reason for my interest is because my son will be turning 16 in just a few weeks time and i'd like to get him something nice for his birthday.
At the moment he doesn't have any form of transport to and from school, work, or his mates houses. I thought hard and long about it, and decided I'd buy him a scooter since they're cheap, not as difficult to ride as a motorbike, and he wouldn't be able to attempt driving all his friends around late at night without my persmission (which I know he would do if he had a car). It'd also give him a great sense of independence I reckon.
Over the last 2 weeks when driving him around, i've pointed out a few scooters to him while trying to not give away the idea that I may be buying one. He pretty much said that he doesn't really like the look of the old traditional type scooters, but loves the look of sports bikes and the such. So I went looking around on the oh so great interweb and found the Gilera DNA 50 :doobey:, and as most of you know, the thing is a very nice looking scooter.
Yeah so i've been calling around some places, mostly just hamilton dealers. None are in stock here. One of the guys on the phone mentioned that there are very few of them in the country. So i've kind of come to a dead stop.
I'd really love to know if there were some anywhere else. If any of ya's could perhaps help me out here with maybe a dealer name or something, it'd be a huge help. Otherwise I guess i'll just get him a cheaper SJ50.
Cheers!
