1948 Gilera 500 4-Cilindri: The Fastest Grand Prix Bike of Its Time

1957 Gilera 500 4-Cilindri was a 165mph monster that vanished just as it conquered the world. ⚡ In 1957, Bob McIntyre rode this Italian four-cylinder missile to the first ever 100mph lap of the Isle of Man TT — rewriting motorcycle history and terrifying every British single along the way. With 70 horsepower screaming from just 500cc, the Gilera 500 4C wasn’t just a bike, it was a weapon. But here’s the twist: at the very peak of its dominance, Gilera suddenly pulled the plug. No road version, no mass production, just a handful of racing machines left to legend. Why did one of the fastest bikes of the 1950s disappear? That’s the story we dive into today — from Italian engineering brilliance to boardroom politics.
