Advantages: Fastest scooter around, possibly!!

Disadvantages: Costs that liitle bit more than the average.

If your looking for a scooter that is comfy and doesnt look like the others then the Runner is a definite.
This 125 can go upto 75mph when pushed and feels great doing it. The brakes are good enough for a scooter and the handling although heavy when still is very good.
It has a nippy little engine with good response as would any scooter but this is faster of the mark then others out there.
On the bike near your legs are little air ducts which open to let the heat from the engine go on your legs but really i didnt notice. This was just a novelty and really isnt anything.
The seat is very comfortable and long rides are achieveable but you`ll be bored in no time as holding the throttle open gets very tiresome.
It is the perfect commuter and city runabout for the person who works in urban areas. Petrol is unleaded and the oil is a 2 stroke oil but nothing fancy. It dosnt need much looking after as it is a very well made scooter which is from the very experienced Italians of (Piaggio)Gilera.
If all you need is a city scooter with greater speeds than normal then this would be a good bike but dont expect too much in excitement.

Are you wearing gloves when riding? I have no problem holding the throttle open on mine.
