“Difficult to sell!”

Written on: 20/04/2012 by GoodGrief (1 review written)

Now just because I've given this bike a 1 STAR rating don't go getting upset - actually it deserves a 5 STAR rating because it's possibly the finest 'ped we've ever seen. It looks superb, starts first time - even after standing for 6 months, sips fuel, is clean to ride, looks great and is very comfortable to ride. The 1 star rating is just if you want to sell it on... Our story... My son has got one of these - a 2010 (60 plate) Gilera Runner SP50. It's brand new and is a great looking... (read more)

Fast,solid brakes with double calipers on front disc brake(which scooter 50ccm has that?)Good strong water cooled engine,bike looks good and aerodynamic,large wheels for a 50ccm scooter,reliable and one of the biggest and heaviest(if not the heaviest-109 kg)50ccm scooter around.Has 4.5 HP (3.3 KW)when sold in fex Italy but sold in Norway has about 2.5 HP;anyway 4.5 HP for a mass produced bike is not bad at all.Strong frame with double welded tubes with steel sheeting between for extra...

I have had many problames with this bike but I wouldn't exchange it for anything. Its the fastest moped you will find as standard and will blow away all of those chavvy little speedfight 2's (that top out at 45mph.) Ive had almost 60mph out of it and im pretty sure its standard(can't be sure, the last owner was a complete tool, they normally are.) It needed a new voltage regulator, ignition switch and some carb maintinence because of the last owner. Be careful buying one second hand because... (read more)

My gilera 50cc has been really reliable throughout the year never let me down. My bike is de-restricted and does 70 with ease, i have a chrome laser x-pro exhaust. Bike has always worked from button so no need for kick start, nothings every broke, fuel is efficient and i hardly ever need 2 stroke oil, overall this bike is superb and well prices, i would recommend this bike to anyone who is looking for a reliable, fast and good looking bike, in my opinion this bike is amazing.

My runner is completely standard (de restricted) and it hits 50mph easilly with a standard pipe, so it is definately a fast bike for a 50cc and the hi per 2 pro liquid cooled engine is highly tunable compared to some other mopeds which are hard to find parts for!

I have had my gilera runner for a year. I bought it with 2000 miles on the clock and i sold it just under 10,000. It is the best 50cc moped you will find. Never any problems with parts/problems. It is very fast for a 50 and with 5.2 gram rollers and a leo levinci exaust it flies although is averages at 55mph on a standard exaust.

Got it as a spares/repairs project and had it fixed within a week, people say these things are unreliable but thats because they aren't mechanically minded, when you buy a bike you have to know how to repair it. simplest ,lovely ,smooth engine.

Acceleration is brilliant, Fuel consumption is low (150 miles for £5, can't argue), Suspension is good, Parts are easy to get hold of, quiet with standard exhaust.
The best thing about this bike is that it makes you feel like you are riding the lamborghini of scooters, with the glowing red tachometer, stylish dash and digital screen showing speed, time, engine temp., fuel guage, and trip!
Usually starts first time, but needs a little bit of throttle and rev to get it going.

I bought a 45 litre box to have on the back and it looks great.
It starts slower when having a passenger but doesn't feel much slower going uphill with one.
I feel like the king of mopedists. I've had it for 5 months now and it starts without fail and drinks little oil. I get ca 130 km per tank. I have only owned one previous moped and that was a 4-stroke and ran (of course) much quieter. I haven't had it serviced yet but will... (read more)

Its probably cold if you hold the back brake in and pull the throttle it should sound like its choking or spitting keep revving it until the noise stops and it sounds like it is running fine then it should be ok I have the same problem.

I just got my Gilera Runner delivered without tax or insurance but that didn't bother me. I'm 16 and this is my first scooter - I jumped on it. It has 1892km on the clock and has a broken light but I don't mind - I'm a big lad weighing 15 stone but this thing pulled me to 30 where it is restricted. I have a question - if I get it derestricted will I ruin the engine within a year or will it still be OK to sell for around £400 in a year? (it will probably have around 9k on the clock by then) (read more)

Written on: 20/03/2007

If you get your runner de-restricted it will not ruin the engine at all. Most people would prefer to buy their bike derestricted in the first place, because it means they don't have to do it. I have a Gilera Runner SP 50, just ordered my doppler exhaust with a Polini variator and a kevlar drive belt, after I'm done upgrading, it will be hitting around 85 mph. I am fully tunning it spending around £1000. If your bike is in good condition, and in good working order then you should be easily be able to sell it for £400. Just make sure you keep it oiled with fully synthetic, thats the key to maintaining a healthy engine.

I own a Gilera Runner SP50 with a PM71 tuning pipe, Malossi 70cc bore kit and 7.2g rollers. Since these parts have been fitted there has not been much of a change in performance. On the flat it will accelerate very very slowly and on the smallest of hills it will go no more than 40. On a slightly larger hill it wil sometimes drop as low as 20mph! something is wrong with it, any ideas? (read more)

I've had my Gilera Runner 50cc for 2 months now and haven't had any problems with it. I bought it 2nd hand from a friend and it's one of the fastest 50cc's around. It has too good of an acceleration for a factory scooter, so it must have acceleration clutch spings and light variators on. It does about 53 miles on straight road, despite the fact that it has all those acceleration parts on. It beats a speedfight 307wrc, a kymco super9, an NRG and some other factory scooters.
