Gilera Runner 125 VX

I was given my gilera runner about 3months ago as a birthday gift, it has done me fine since! I would not want another 125cc but this one! Some of the positives are, quick top speed and acceleration(pulls away nicely and gets up to 40 very quick!) . Nice amount of room under the seat, nice dashboard! Sounds gorgeous but I don't have the standard exhaust on mine. Now for some of the cons, suspension isn't the best, abit bumpy here and there. Rather heavy when you have to make a sharp ish turn from still(balance wise it does test you!) also finally the issue that really got me stressed out earlier today when I was on my way to work a good few miles from my house and the bike cut out on me when I was on low revs! Now baring in mind it was absolute smashing it down with rain so I'm assuming some water has got into the bike and messed something up, if you no how to prevent that please email me at [email protected].

But overall very good scooter and I would recommend buying it to anyone who is looking to buy a 125cc.

ive bought a Gilera runner vx125 4stroke as a spare run-around when i first got it it worked fine then it cut out at the lights and wouldn't start. Its just had a new ignition coil new battery and new spark plug and it will not start what so ever unless I wiggle the wires in the back of the ignition coil. Even then it doesn't start any ideas what it could be ?

ive just bought a 57 reg ,and the bike goes well, but on the panel i have two bars flashing under neath the temperature gauge or coolent sign, the 1st and last bar keep flashing as soon as i tiun the key,the bike doesnt have to be running for this to happen ,and when riding it keeps flashing , could somebody please help me to let me no why this is happening, thank u very much.

Bought it last week and i am "more less" satisfied. It looks great, gets to 60 mph fairly quickly (i would imagine it wont do more then 65mph if i was to push it), can do 100 miles for £9.00 and as its bigger then Peugeot Speedfight 100 i dont look funny on it as i am quite toll:)

Also the dashboard is a bit funky and there is speedometer and mileage (these two can show the speed and the mileage in kilometres as well), clock, temperature and fuel level. Sure you have warning lights for oil, lights etc and the red revs "clock" looks cool!

Downsides are suspensions really. I would rate them 2 stars. The other thing is handling on low speed. If you are for example emerging from the junction immediately to the left or right after having waited for green light, you are going to say WTF! if you know what i mean :) It just looses the balance...

Overall it looks ok and i would recommend it.

Cheers!

I have had a gilera runner St125 for a while now couldn't really afford the £3000 price tag but is what I wanted. It is an Italian scooter so obviously it is built for looks and sporty feel rather than reliability. Had a few things wrong with it. Water leaks new water pump inlet manifolds ...

Now a lot of people will tell you that a 125 will do 100 mph but this is untrue. Scoot will. Hit up to 78 on clock but using gps have never seen it go over 70mph.

Fitted 210 big bore kit.

After fitting the kit the torque is amazing no improvement on top end as big bore is about power! 0-60 is fast !!'nn

Few problems after fitting

1. Fuel problem causing engine to cut out

Solution using high octane fuel

2. The start up is difficult and wearing variator pulley and starter!

Solution fit auto decompression

Starts every time no problems!!!!!

Fitted gear up variator and clutch

Increased top speed in a big way and really recommended

i have a gilera runner vx125 2001 when i first bought the bike after replacing alot of parts on it as it is 10 years old it was exspected,it was great never let me down i used it daily to and from work very nippy no problems dry or wet,then i started to find web sites like pm tuning,adrenalin ped stop,and psn tuning,and s.i.p and started to tune my bike with the 210 malossi kit,polini clutch and bell,polini variator,malossi 34mm carburetter,foam air filter,leo vince pipe,polini gear up kit,sinse this i have had nothing but trouble wont start ,too much compression starter motor cant handle it,other pats like the stater and crank broke up,loom went wrong and too be honest for wot you gain another 20mph its not worth the hassel,your better off keeping it standerd and having it work everyday,as soon as you buy tuning products it will break down all the time,and all these tuning companys will not give any garaentie with the parts they sell you,no returns if they dont fit so do your home work before making an order online,my advise to you keep it standerd its a moped if you want to go faster by an r6 or somthing,my gilera is costing me a fortune now ,ive spent 3000 pound on this bike now, and iam not spending anymore,i would rather burn it, so be warned people unless your rich and can affored to fix it weekly,dont bother,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

well i have had a gilera runner vx125 for 6months and i love it the only problem i have is the liquid collent leaks somtimes. i have had 84mph out of it and it is complealy standard. i think it takes of at the lights is really good it is very nippy through traffic. the only thing i dont really like about it is it attracts to much attention from the young kids around my area

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.

well iv had the Gilera Runner 125 VX for 1 day...and its absolutely amazing! i am 17 and way only 9 n a half stone...i got 0 - 60 mph in 6 seconds and i cant wai to try it tommorow and try and hit 80 mph all standard...and yes if u replace the exhaust you can get anohter 2 bhp so another 5 - 10 mph =]

The Gilera Runner 125 VX is a very good bike nice drive very fast good fuel aconomy
