I love my Gilera Runner! Its got a few scratches on at the moment because of a little accident I had in the snow, but maybe one day I will replace the panels. It certainly doesnt affect the performance though. It can outrun even the fastest sports cars from stationary, although it cannot keep up at high speed. Its top speed is about 65mph on a flat road. When I first got it it took a couple of months to get used to the handling. If the wind is very strong you have to ride carefully, especially when the road is wet. Also if you are getting one, be very careful riding over sand in the road as you can easily lose grip of the road surface and fall ...  Read the complete review

The daddy of all 125 scooters If you like scooters you will love the gilera runner. I work at Midland Scooter Centre in Nottingham and this is the best scooter I have ever ridden. Its does everything what you expect and more, a standard runner 125 is capable of around 70mph, excellent handling with some good tires e.g. Bridgestone ml50`s if you can get a hold of some. Under seat storage for what ever your needs are, capable of holding a full faced helmet. From 1999 onwards they have a double disc front and rear and a 12 liter petrol tank unlucky for those with a pre 99 runner with an 8.5 liter tank and a rear drum brake. ...  Read the complete review

I bought I runner 125VX (4 stroke) scooter about 4 months ago and I have been very pleased with it and would never consider swapping it for any other 125 on the market. I previously had a gilera spk 50 and could only do 45mph (governed) so once I was 17 I went for the runner 125 and I cant say I haven?t had any (minor) problems with it such as the lights would not work but nothing major and all fixed under warranty. Still not as good in the wet so be careful and I would advise doing a CBT if you do not feel confident. With a top speed of around 75mph I was capable of travelling the A19 to work every morning and over taking the odd car. For the £7.50 it takes to ...  Read the complete review

Well, what can be said for my wee Runner 125? I've had it for a couple of years now and its done everything from daily commutes to motorways to Eire, Scotland and England. It does about 70mph, or 80 if you really tuck in behind the screen! Add on another 5-10mph for downhill and you can imagine how much fun this mere 125 actually is! It beats all but the sportiest 125 motorbikes hands down in terms of acceleration and top speed, and gives about 60-70mpg, despite me throwing it around as if Belfast was a race track! Super looking as well, I think most scoots on the roads look terrible, but even the wife likes this one. You can ...  Read the complete review

lots of my friends have runner 50's and i've always wondered why.........because the runner 50 can take a 125 block!!!! the 125 engine is amazing for a 125 scooter, possibly the number one tuner scooter out at the moment. malossi have a range over aftermarket upgrades for the runner 125: mhr gas shock reed blocks 180cc big bore mhr pipe mhr over range kit and many more!!!! many projects on scootershack.co.uk are infact runner 125's, showing just how popular they are...they have a powerful, yet reliable engine that makes it popular with young/new riders. for the other side of the riders' spectrum, the stunt ...  Read the complete review
