    Good Points: Dont know yet.

    General comments: My new Nexus 500 is on the way to Bucharest right now, I cant tell you much about this maxi-scooter but every one told me that is the best on the market. I bought it because a few weeks ago I sold my 1000RR Honda and I dont have the time to travel to Germany for the 2008 model, so for the few sunny days that we have left in Bucharest I'm riding the new Nexus 500. I just hope that I will have the time to adjust myself to the bike, any way the looks of this bike are great (mine is red with black).
    Regards to everyone and safe riding!

    Overall, I consider this 'super scooter' to be more than that, and I love it so much, that next year, I'm getting the 800 version! I think it's great value! Not to be so sniffed at by 'real bikers' happy riding! this baby has speed and the look on bikers faces when you pass them on the motorway is funny! It handles great and gives great weather/wind protection! I've toured all over england and it's been great fun. wonderful to drive into work with.

    Sadly much as I like my Gilera Nexus, I am selling it for a more reliable scooter. Its a nice ride and excellent power for motorways and longer journeys, but due to the weight of the bike and the poor engine design for short journeys, its not good for general short commute, or stop start traffic.

    After many years (nearly 30 ulp....!) I have been riding on the road I have never not had a bike of some description, from worn out MZs to shiny new Harleys through every Jap bike make and a fair few Euro ones too, depending usually on what I could afford.

    A knee injury forced me to look for a bike that I could move my leg in ways impossible on a conventional bike and refrain from using a rear footbrake.

    After trying and considering the whole caboodle I decided upon this Nexus and I haven' ...

    This machine looks nice, but you would be better off taking your money to a Honda dealer, for the cost of this "scooter" you will get something with 10 times the reliability that is built to take the UK weather.

    The Gilera Nexus 500 is a great machine to ride around on - lots of power and does a couple of hundred miles at 70mph, with no trouble at all. The wind and weather protection is really good. It's not a bike, though.

    Happily buy another Gilera Nexus 500, could always do with even more power, best maxi scooter, much funkier and agile than a Yamaha or Suzuki.

    This is my 6th scooter, I started off with a Honda 50, then changed that to a Gilera 125 (2 stroke) then I changed that to a Gilera 180 (4 stroke) and then a Piaggio Skipper which was really slow and now I finally have purchased the bike I love the Nexus.
    I spent a lot of time looking and it was between the Nexus, Burman 400, Vespa 250 and the Piaggio X9 500. I took them all out for a test drive and there ws no comparison the Nexus was the best of the bunch. It felt the quickest, looked the b ...

    Just took one of these Gilera Nexus 500 scooters out today. Available in red and silver, with the red looking much nicer. Stylish to look at, single sided swingarm and large exhaust. And on the key is a button which pops the seat to reveal a spacious 'boot'.

    Comfortable to sit on, and it allows for two seating positions. The
    first is sat back against the(very comfortable) backrest, with your
    feet flat on the floor. The second is the round town position, sat
    forwards with your feet sligh ...
