Hey, I was just wondering if any of you guys could tell me how fast a
standard Gilera Runner 180cc would go. I've heard a range of speeds,
but from un-realiable sources. Thanks,

Dan.

Real speed will be just short of 80mph on a standard 22hp runner.
Indicated speed will be anything up to 15mph above that.

The often misquoted figure is the 0-60 time.
Gilera used a (intentionally misleading?) 0-60 METRES time of 5.5 seconds in
one of their brochures but as the used M as an abbreviation you often hear
them described as much quicker than they actually are.
True 0-60 is around 9.5 seconds IIRC.

The 4 stroke 180's will be a bit slower on both figures but not much.

Heh - quick up to about 40 though :-) Which is good in town.
Bit crap after that.

Well, as i was only running in a new one, (2 Stroke SP) I had to take it
easy, but compared to my SIAMOTO 125, it was amazing! I have a friend who
rides a Runner 125 2 stroke and even then, he was amazed at the
accelaration!

I travelled to Holiday in Holland with a guy on a brand new VXR (?)
and after he had rn it in he seemed to be able to get 90mph fairly
easy. It was certainly faster than my P2 which zips along at 80mph.
