Scooter Gillera Runner 180

Like many young people tender age of twenty, I was crazy about motorcycles. In the imagination continually arose the image of the valiant knight clad in armor, bearing the distinguished RSV Mille (or CBR 600 for emergencies), but the assessment of financial capacity sobered, as if a bucket of ice water on his head. However, to ride on two wheels did not want to lower, even more, so come to a volitional decision to buy a scooter. And do not anyhow what, and sports, that flew like a bullet, and did not suffer too much in terms of design.

Floating on the Internet, I almost choked - information the sea, sensible - at least. In the end, though narrowed the circle of search to two or three models. Stock silver coins are not considered at all - not that caliber.
Tuning is also not for me: a deep knowledge in the art I do not have, and the extra bucks in your pocket is not found. And then I came across a picture Gilera Runner 180. Pounding heart beat. People, men, but it's love at first sight! Dynamic, swift contours, bars on the fairing, barely noticeable gap between the seat and steering column - almost bike. Even more established in the intention to buy this particular Scoot when saw disc brakes on both wheels. But most importantly - his majesty MOTOR: 20 selected Italian Cavallino, ready at any moment dash at full speed, obeying the slightest movement of the hand.

In order not to traumatize her more delicate mind, I just went and bought it.
For two years in my enjoyment of the undivided Runner ran 7,000 km. As the my skill, I began to realize that the scooter in the world since the hunt for these cars. It is very hard to scooter standards Gilera frame offers excellent handling. Suspension of habit and seemed harsh, but it's a price worth paying for cornering as templates. Do not offend Gilera Runner 180, and in terms of comfort: the seat is very comfortable.
And now about the ''delicious'' - the engine. The power unit of 180 cm3 scooter turns into a kind of cannon ball. This power unit has got a master's shoulder Gilera Piaggio, Scooter fans what to thank the firm so far (especially given the unfortunate fact that the engine of the 180 cubes are no longer available). The rate for one hundred - absolutely no problem with the passenger and the cherished mark on the speedometer overlaps with no problems. at the start of a traffic light with me and Gilera could argue not everyone, so for the next traffic lights drove up, usually in splendid isolation.

To get used to good quickly, so quietly to mature wallpaper. Sets for Gilera Runner 180 great variety. Stopped until the not very radical option of replacing the switch on the clutch and springs Malossi, the variator weights 13 gram (15 g in the database). If finances allow, then I will get a runner to the new variator Multivar with weights of 12.5 g and the exhaust system of Arrow. The expected population increase of horses - 2.5 hp As long as enough, and we'll see.
Over 7,000 km, which ran through my Gilera Runner 180 - I have never regretted buying it. If changed his core, it is only on the bike.
