“Gilera runner vx 125”
Written on: 06/07/2014 by Leemister (1 review written)
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… Read Full Review

“HELP”
Written on: 08/06/2012
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 ?… Read Full Review

I had a similar problem on my 57reg vxr200, it was a loose connection on the water temperature sensor. Remove the inspection panel under the seat and the single wire that goes to a sensor on the cylinder barrel, this connection was loose, it's just a simple spade connector that needs to be a tighter fit on the water temp sensor. Takes around 3 mins to fix.

“I got Gilera Runner 125 VX 2009 Reg.”
Written on: 07/02/2012 by Ziadaldaher (1 review written)
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… Read Full Review

“ST125 top scooter”
Written on: 13/12/2011
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… Read Full Review

Written on: 22/11/2008
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!… Read Full Review

Written on: 08/11/2008
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… Read Full Review

Written on: 20/10/2008 by harley 883 (1 review written)
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… Read Full Review

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… Read Full Review

Written on: 28/07/2008 by Tunny (1 review written)
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… Read Full Review
