Sorry no price given
Class 2B - Gilera Runner XR200
The evolution of the Gilera Runner over the years has resulted in
a
simple yet beautiful machine that is not hard on the pocket.
The Gilera Runner VXR 200 is nimble, light and fast. Due to its
liquid cooled four-stroke engine, it runs
extremely smooth round the corners and on straights as well.
Further, due to its compact nature, it is
much easier to go through the morning and evening traffic as
compared to other bikes and has the
necessary torque to get the rider out of sticky traffic
situations.
The build of this scooter is comparable to its motorcycle
cousins and the rigidity is due to the deep
central tunnel which ensures the great handling that the VXR200 has
become notable for. The engine's
effectiveness responsiveness creates a feel of eagerness and
alertness as well.
The Touring Scooter
The Runner has given touring a whole new edge and is capable of
handling distanced travel - some-
thing not traditionally associated with scooters. With its
comfortable seat and automatic transmission,
the rider will not get tired easily and can say good bye to butt
aches! With ample storage space under
the seat and an optional top box, all the necessities to be carried
on a journey can be stored away
easily
At the local level, plastic bags can just as simply stored away in
the compartments, making shopping
and running errands a snap. With its great sporting look, fantastic
brakes, great fuel efficiency and in-
credible value for money, it is no wonder that it has seduced many
motorcyclists to 'convert' to this
scooter.
