My Gilera 180 Runner is now 18 months old - I'm impressed! Initially I had lots of starting problems which were badly dealt with by the dealer, but turned out to be a faulty battery. The machine is very fast (will cruise at 70, and will cope with average motorway speeds unless its windy!), and will beat anything away from the lights (if you're into that sort of thing) including most geared motorcycles. The weather protection is excellent, leaving you with wet shoulders - until you stop at the lights! Don't think that the heater vents will warm you - they don't! The seat is a little too low for me, but suits most riders. I've regularly used it two-up, with only a little loss of performance. I get in excess of 100mpg even riding it pretty hard. Apart from the initial problems I've never had any mechanical problems. The storage space (underseat) is a bit mean, you need a smallish helmet for it to take anything other than the helmet. Very desirable bike - lock it up well.
