well got rid of my old runner and got this 125 , that needed new engine cases, airbox,carb,brakes and panels.

its a 2002 gilera runner 125 2 stroke so one of the last ones made.

Its the same style engine as the aprilia sr 125 but liquid cooled.

Spec list :
Rolling Nut cases
Pm tuning Full circle racing crank
malossi 172 kit
180 standard exhaust
Vx forks
Vx seat
Vx grabrail
Vx style Smoked indicator and brake lense set
Vx horn cover
180 Variator
Malossi Clutch springs
Pm tuning Racing rollers

got this bike in january, when and swapped it for my old one , got there and it was dark so didnt really bother checking it over, Just wanted to get home.
But upon getting it home and having a propper check over a friend noticed that where the brake caliper bolts on That one had snapped, so he had a full bike he was breaking for spares , so i bought new cases,airbox,carb,brakes and panels off him at a good cheap price.
Also this included him rebuilding the engine for me.

went out on it and it ran fine until i took it down a duel carrigeway, got back to his house and wouldnt start, so tried new carb still wouldnt run, so he checked the reeds and one of the petals had snapped off so new reeds and its ran perfect since.

Only things i have been doing is painting bits up and generally tidying it up at moment.

i have also painted the forks gunmetal grey aswell as other bits

i no its a car forum but cba putting car up this is better imho.

Few pics of it
Mine is one with red wheels

I want to do this to my SR125 for the summer, if it would do 90mph be a lot happier about going further afield.
