    im getting a new runner in a couple of weeks and was wondering the following;

    what milage would i have to cover to get it derestricted?
    should i take off the white and black stickers as its the black model or leave them on?
    do you recommend me getting one of these?

    cheers lads

    To be fair, we sell them, but im not a fan.... i would get a new shape SR50 instead. But if you like the looks of it then thats all that matters, pretty much the same running gear and electrics in all the piaggio group machines.

    For warranty purposes, it cant be derestricted until 1000km... but if you dont care about warranty it can be done from new but just remember to still run the engine in for a while.

    i personaly wouldent go for 1.

    my mate has 1 and there so hard to dissmantle for tuning !

    there realy bulky and heavy aswell

    go for the old shape or if too late get it sell it and get a diff scoot, honnestly gilera have killed the look and style of the runner :(

    how would i go about of making my own panels and painting them?

    are there any sites which do them templates to see what colours go well and stuff?

    hang on, your buying a NEW bike and already planning on taking the stickers off, painting it, modding it? why not just buy an old bike?

    or maybe buy a new one an leave it alone.. anyone wonder why no stock scoots are about? this is the reason

    You're effectively derestricting it with a pipe so pointless, and the performance gain is poor for the reduced engine life and fuel economy stick to what you got.......or if you are yet to have it get a Piaggio zip rs or Gilera Stalker Naked

    yes a sports exhaust iwould add speed and acceleration, but dont go for the lazer.

    i bought a lazer for my gilera 50 and it was ok top end but stupid take off
    the lazer is meant to go with a 70cc kit mainly, thats why i sold mine to a guy with the perfect set up for it.

    id go for a leo vince exhaust
    everyone who owns 1 is realy pleased with them

    but dont rush into things yet. get a bike, and then we will start talking ;)

    WAS the perfect setup haha

    I'd leave it dude the cons far outweigh the pros unless you can get a 2nd hand bike which is better, get it from a dealer make sure the bolts and fastners are all good and maintainence shouldn't be a problem ;)

    firstly a de-restriction then....
    malossi mhr 70 kit
    malossi second gear up kit
    malossi 21mm carb
    polini sports variator
    polini race belt
    and finally to top it off would be an exhaust [not sure on which one though]

    if you go for an mhr kit, you have to have a stronger crank, but if you went for say a polini sport 70cc kit, the crankk will cope with the power output fine

    start small and simple the proceed to bigger and better set ups
