    Just looking for a bit of advice..

    Im thinking of getting rid of my Runner 50, and getting an Aerox..

    I love the way the Aerox handles and looks, but, at the moment with just a Gianelli pipe, the Runner is accelerating great and reaching just over 60mph clock speed. Do you think an Aerox would be up to the same speeds with a similar set up?

    Thanks for any help..

    It being a 50cc they both do around 50mph (clock speed). Both of them are great bikes. Just a sports pipe on a Aerox wont be much different to a runner.

    performance of a Runner and Aerox would be about equal!!!

    Aerox has a better chassis though (handles a bit better) and a lighter front end (wheelies easier)

    I like the Aerox and would own/Buy one...But i like the Runner and its piaggio engine better...

    At the end of the day its your choice... in my eyes they are both good scoots ;)

    it just takes a bit more skill to ride a Runner :pimp:

    It is 2003 with 5,000kms (3,000mls)

    He is asking €900 (£650)..

    Has never had any mods (yet :pimp: )

    Had a look...

    Engine, brakes, front shock.. perfect!

    Body work is in shite, will take a lot of time to clean it up and rear shock is rusty and shite looking..

    Have him down to €780 (£555)

    What will I do, my Runner is sooo clean :( lol

    Think I probably will unless I get a really good offer for it...

    Would be sad in a way to see it go..
