2000 Gilera Runner SP 180 review from United Kingdom
"A nippy little runaround"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing as yet, and the previous owner had few problems.
General comments?
Acceleration takes a few seconds to kick in from cold, but can be scary when it's warmed up.
The seat is quite high for shorties ie tiptoe at traffic lights, whereas with my BMW R1100 RS I am flat footed... be cagey going around roundabouts, not too stable...
Underseat helmet storage does not take some full face helmets.. my aria.
