The 1980 MY Gilera T4 has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 198cc, single cylinder powerplant paired to a five-speed manual transmission with a chain final drive, and can produce a claimed 17 horsepower and 15 Nm of torque.
Standard features include cast-aluminium wheels, a dual seat with passenger grab rails, analogue instrumentation dials, a blacked-out, steel frame, a telescopic front fork coupled to a dual shock absorbers as a rear suspension, and a braking system composed of a front single disc and a rear, 160mm drum.
