I bought the a Giilera VX125 04plate 2nd hand, was a good runner, a little slow of the lights, but quiet and very nibble between traffic, loooking for another, very popular model if you have one be sure to ground it , I learnt the hard way and now is a write-off.

I think the Gilera Runner 125 VX is a nice bike but the suspension could be improved. Also I found starting to be a bit rubbish due to cold weather. I've got an 04 plate brilliant bike got malossi rollers and 210 bore kit at max speed i got 125 most out of it , brilliant bike .

Will let you know once I've owned it for a while. The speed, the petrol consumtion, the lights, the overall design of the bike.

To sum up a good scooter let down by poor suspension & ride comfort, to be fair I should have bought a scooter with larger wheel diameters so that I got the ride that suited me better, I have upgraded the rear suspension struts to bitubo items & this has improved things, next item is the seat that I am going to have reshaped, I will keep you posted!

I ' ve not long bought a Gilera Runner 125cc VX and so far it been alright I do agree with some people it could be a bit lighter and it can be a rough ride now and then. My bike is not too bad on top speed, but I am going to get a 210 bore kit and some malossi rollers I sure that will speed it up a little. I did have problems with it to start with trouble starting and just constantly kept stalling, so I had to put new spark plug and carburetor done. So to the person who has problems starting it ...

Scooter is great in town & dual carriage way, fast and confidence inspiring, generally it is a very good scooter, the main thing that lets it down is the poor quality suspension system that is very hard even when set on the softest settings at the rear twin dampers. To sum up for short journeys ok, for longer journey use without a suspension upgrade and just the thing I am doing by fitting a biturbo twin rear gas shock system. I ordered them today, I will keep you posted after I have used the sc ...

Good. I got a 54 plate vx and it was smooth as anything. And I have ridden 50cc to 1000cc. At standard it hit good speeds now. Since I put on some malossi rollers, belt and variator it is up to 90 with a real fast take off. Almost as fun as an 180sp, but a lot smoother.

I bought my Gilera Runner 125 VX from a local dealer in Bermuda and to be frank its been nothing but a pain in the xxxx since. The bike itself is excellent but is totally ruined by the bonecrunching ride. I have no faith whatsoever in the dealer. I am sure there is a fault somewhere but not being a mechanic I have no idea where to start.
I know that once this problem is sorted that the bike will be as good as the ones ridden by all the other reviewers but at the moment it only rates a 2 and I t ...

Bought a Gilera 125 vx in aug 2003. Just traded it in so thought I would give the benefit of my long term opinion.
I did 45000 km on my bike. Commute of 25 miles per day in heavy urban traffic. Gilera is very fast for a 125 and the 4 stroke engine needed no work on it during its entire life. In the last year starting has become a bit of a problem, had to change plugs and leads a fair bit. No starting problems in first years.
Never had mine nicked but it got close a few times (caught people fiddl ...

The size does make it less agile and it could be lighter but overall I reckon its the best moped going, plus it doesn't guzzle petrol and the top end speed is a killer. I have a 200cc engine in mine and theres no moped thats beat me in a race so far. I'm up there with some motorbikes mate.

The reliability of this bike is ridiculous, first the ht leads went, then the immobilser, then swing arm, as well as the drive spline, thank god for warranty.

Had a Peugeot Speedfight 120cc bigbore kit and it was naff the vx 125 4 stroke runner kills it low down and top end. And you don t have to worry about oil been a 4 stroke. The bigger tank gives me a 115 mile full range with fuel light just coming on and then takes £6.50 to fill at 114.9 a liter, so still plenty in tank after fuel light lights up. The 2006 model gives a modern dash with digital speed, fuel, miles, and trip, temp and waits for it a clock. I would never think of getting a ...

I have the new runner VX 2007. It is just seven months old and I haven't had any problems yet. It started every single time easily. It goes up to 120 kph (about 78-80 mph). It is probably the best scooter for tunning. It is 4 stroke so you don't have to worry about the machine.

I have never been caused any problems with the runner. It is quick, agile and nimble. the scooter seems well built and solid. can be a bit costly to purchase though.
