Gila-M


Gila-M is a historic brand of road racing motorcycles.

The company name was: Gila Goegebeur-Vigoni, Brussels.

Gila Goegebeur-Vigoni was a Belgian company that first developed a 750cc Row based on a Kawasaki, and in 1975 a site machine with a 125-cc Japanese Xenoah two-stroke block.

Eric Goegebeur initially built a Kawasaki H 2 750 Mach IV three-cylinder engine in a converted Egli frame to participate in the 24-hour race in Zolder. At the request of a number of drivers, a small series of these motorcycles was set up, the frame was improved and the engine block became a supporting part. In 1973, the Gila-M was offered in three versions: a race version, a street version and an Endurance version.

Something quite different was the 1975 Gila-M-125cc offroad engine. This was fitted with a Xenoah-ME 125 T two-stroke engine. A prototype was used in some Enduro games. Goegebeur was planning to build these machines at Flandria, but it has never come across the "Flandria-Gila M 125 T" prototype.
