I have owned 2 180sp runners over the years was gutted to hear they stopped making them. So I bought a brand new shape 200 vxr. was ok at first but never had the pull off as the 180sp. So i added a racing clutch and Vairator kit. Now i just love the bike. it comes up off the lights like the old one does. and have even reached 90mph on the A2 on it. I use it for work daily. from kent to london. these bikes are just great! and cheap and cheerfull. it is great for the run in and out of london. I do have an R1. but takes longer to get to work as all the traffic. I have had thses bikes for the last 10 years. thik they are great fun.
I look forward to if gilera bring out a 250cc runner. wish they would. Go and ride one. You will love it. Then guarteed you will buy one,

Hi mate.
Just moved to NZ and got one of these as I remember the sp and the fun.
What brand of kits did you use?
I'll need to buy them and ship them. Thanks.

I wrote this review and still have the same vxr 200 runner in black now. owned since 2007. A few more tuning bits on it now Pm tuning pipe.
I'm sure you have seen me flying backwards and forwards welling Kent to London. still a great bike. just changed the engine mounts and new clutch, belt, done about 18000 miles. still going strong and even still got the wheelies in it Full tank under £10. last 4 days the way I ride.
So after 6 years still going strong. A Bargain for work.
Look out for me DA55.
