General Comments
I have now covered about 3000 miles on my Gilera VXR200 over a one year period with only one non start which was rectified by my dealer within 24 hours!
I live near Paignton in South Devon and have now made several trips to Exeter and Plymouth on the bike. Its a great scooter and the longer the journey the better as the power it gives is superb when cruising up and down the hills in Devon. I find keeping the throttle open slightly on some bends helps with balance and road holding. (It takes a bit of practice!)
I often take my fianc e on it and she is very happy with the back seat.
Generally though I am very happy with the bike and love the sound it gives from the sporty exhaust I had fitted.
