Please note: The seller is managing the sale of this collection on behalf of the owner’s estate. He has represented each bike to the best of his ability and will be unable to provide further history or supporting documentation. The bike does not currently run and the seller cannot confirm mechanical condition. He has provided a walk around video and is selling the bike as-is. A local dealership will be providing the Bill of Sale; all fees (with the exception of Iconic’s buyer’s fee) and taxes will be accounted for by the dealer.
Aero-Caproni (later Aeromere) was an Italian aircraft manufacturer whom the victorious Allies prohibited from producing planes after WWII. Like Aermacchi, Vespa, and other firms, they decided to get into the motorcycle game. They had about a decade and a half of success until cars became affordable in Italy and the average commuter switched to 4 wheels. The company ceased operations when it was acquired by Laverda in 1964.
Sold from 1959 to 1962 the 125 was released as the Gran Turismo and De Luxe, the ladder featuring more compact handlebars, longer saddle, and a claimed 100kph (62mph) max speed, 10kph (6.2mph) higher than the Gran Turismo. Both featured a 123.5cc single-cylinder four-stroke capable of 7.5hp and had a right side gear shift. Approximately 4,500 units were sold in the four years of production.
