    great bike, looks awsome, great off road, practically indestructable. I love this bike, ive never had a problem with it. i just got a de-ristriction. Its now quite quick. I fell off the other day, in a 55mph hi-side the bike flew sorta fliped and then slide and i just picked it up and rode on(the indicator broke and was dangling by the cable). Amazingly robust! Its great fun off road, i take it on mountain bike tracks and it handles anything with ease; drop offs get a bit exiting. Unfortunatly, It takes quite a while to warm up on cold days and the back brake is often difficult to find when riding (it is too small and in the wrong position).

    i took over this bike from my older brother and have had it for about 6 months, great bike its been de-redistricted and does a maxium of 50mph very fast with no other mods or accessories. I would recommend this bike for any other learner, apart from the time it takes to warm in the mornings i think its the best value 50cc you can buy.

    Owned a Gilera RCR 50 for three years, never had one single problem, used it for commuting day in-day out. Aswell as commuting I rode it for pure enjoyment in the evenings and weekends, thrashed it everywhere! Great learner bike, lots of fun, good size, good riding position. Not enough power when restricted, feels sluggish and struggles with hills.

    Good points on this bike, even with the stock exhaust and just improved air flow to the engine it will do about 40 - 45 but i am going to go for a race pipe though
    Recommended to 16 year olds that have common sense and can ride a bike safely..

    I ' ve had the bike a year now and it has only broken a couple of times, nothing major only electrics, my bike has a lot of power, I have a Doppler exhaust and I have a race carb I am going to fit soon to improve power. This bike is definitely better than getting a moped, as all my friends have realised when riding behind me everywhere. The bike is very light and easy to throw around and pull wheelies, I can pull a power wheelie in any gear, it ' s an easy bike to learn gears on... I recommend y ...

    We are having trouble with it at the moment could some one give us some ideas of what it could be. It sounds like its flooding it self because when we rev it it just no spark or life there for it to go.

    I have that moped and it doesnt have enough power, its too high, its too big and heavy for a moped. Im quite disappointed to it. I cant drive same ways to my friend because moped cant go same ways like Honda Monkey.
    I doesnt like this moped at all. Its too high and heavy for a moped. And like that wouldn't be enough, it has the worst power/weight ratio that I have seen.

    I have a 2008 Gilera RCR 50. I have put a tecnigas e-nox performance exhaust on it, had a bigger carb on it, and had the front sprocket changed to 12 tooth.
    This means I have really amazing acceleration yet very high top speed and it sounds amazing.
    On flat, with no wind I can max out at 65, headwind, 60, tailwind, 70. It looks amazing and is possibly one of the quickest 50's you can buy
    Intense bike, recommend for anyone, even standard they are quicker than most other peds.

    Good reliable bike with a good appearance. Managed to get it to 47mph which is faster than most other 50cc which get to about 33mph maxed out. great beginners bike!

    All in all I would highly recommend this to any 16 year old who wants to start off on a motorbike. I recommend that you buy a performance exhaust system this makes hell of a difference to the performance of the bike and de-restricts it so you can get about 60-65 out of it. I have up-jeted mine and fitted a boost chamber this makes mine max out at 70mph and down hill with the wind behind my back it'll do 75mph which is fast for a 50cc bike.

    When riding through the wet sometimes you loose power as water gets to the spark plug and earths it but this only lasts a few seconds all in all this is an amazing bike.
    AMAZING!

    The Gilera RCR 50 is a great first time bike but the plate gets melted by the exhaust but thats easy sorted by puting a plastic plate were is started to melt.

    Well where to start. 1st problem I got with I started on the first day carboration was wrong. Next problem working on it, kick stand fell off but seeing as its a Spanish bike they didn't seem to think this will be ridden by first time riders so lets use step through bolts just to make it little bit more complicated and then the kick stand started to bend which made me realise that they didn't seem to use metal on this bike more like putty. The chain is like and elastic band. The exhaust is put i ...

    The Gilera RCR 50 is a great bike to start you off. The bike is very fast when you de-restrict it, and sounds amazing when you put a race pipe on it! Its best quality is taking it off road: its super! It isn't too bad in the wet either: you just have to be a good driver! The RCR is also very light, so you can throw it round corners! It's fantastic to ride!

    The Gilera RCR 50 is a very fast bike for a 50cc. Very good pull of speed and top end reaching 55-60 on flat, tyres not to good in wet but all in all very good 1st bike.

    This is a great bike!

    The Gilera RCR 50 is very fast! I have a metrakit exhaust on mine, and a 70 main jet. Mine has always started with no problem, and it beats all of my mates peds easily.

    I think the Gilera RCR 50 bike is very good for starting to ride, it pulls very fast. When you use it only on road I recommend buying a smt version because when you drive it in the wet it's very slippery. Off road though it is a nice bike to start with, it has great looks and it reliable.

    The RCR is a good bike not to good standard and even with a derestriction, its not the best but even though the RCR has the same motor as the Derbi Senda 6 speed but the Gilera has larger transfer ports in the barrel than the Senda has! If you notice the barrel is marked with Gileras own name! I have got a Leovinchi Titanium exhaust and a '70' main jet! the top end is not to special with standard gearing only doing bout 60mph to 65mph on a good day but the acceleration is fantastic! Beats most t ...

    The Gilera RCR 50 is amazing. I've beaten a 125 off the start on it it pulls away so fast.You three must have had the bad bunch because mine takes a matter of seconds to warm up, and if the choke is complicated then you have to pump a couple of times. The tyres aren't bad in the wet you just have to watch out for wet drains. absolutely love the bike, just wish it had the top speed of the 6 speed ones
