Kind of an odd thing to advertise here, but hey, someone might be looking for something along the lines of this.
Up for sale, is my Gilera Runner scooter, what to say about it?
Well, it's (as cliché as it is saying this) VERY reliable
Incredibly economical: roughly £7 of petrol will do 125 miles, and that's not running it to empty.
2001 model.
2 owners before me.
Just hitting 17000 miles on the clock.
Has got tax and MOT until November 06.
Really fast, does a top speed of between 80-85mph, pretty fun :P
4-stroke engine so doesn’t make that high-pitched whine like 50's or 2 stroke 125's. Also means you needn't worry about the oil.
Here are the (small) bad parts about the scooter-
Yea, since I’ve had it, I’ve come off of it twice, on the same rainy day :cool:, both times I was fortunately going slow 10-15mph, the bad part to it, was that on one time it went over on the left side of the bike, and when I came off later the day it went on the other side.
So because of that there are some scratches (fortunately not that big) on either side of the bike, will get pictures tomorrow.
Someone had tried stealing it before, and messed up the barrel whilst trying to break the steering lock, because of that, there is a crack on the plastic fairing by where the ignition barrel is.
Whilst that happened they also broke the ignition, so I had a new one fitted.
Also there is no barrel/lock for the under seat storage to gain access to it, I did ask my local Gilera specialist to order a new one, and they said they had, but hey, it's been a fair bit of time now and still no contact from them on it. I got quoted £30 for parts & labour on that item.
Full service history etc etc...
Phone for any more info, if there is anything I haven’t mentioned or something you're curious about.

O yes, my reason for sale is that I have since found that I would prefer to go for a geared bike. As much as I’d want to keep this, if I did my full test on it, I wouldn’t be able to go for geared bikes. So I’m buying a new one.
Weighing up the small damage to the bike, which I don’t really want to go through getting it sorted because it wouldn’t be much benefit to me-
I am deciding to sell this for something like £500 for a quick sale. I bought this for £900 last April and it's worth around £700 or so, I could ask for £700 and be waiting around for people to call, and haggle etc etc... But like I say, I just want a quick sale at £500.
If you're interested, give me a call 07725 691090
