2007 Gilera GP 800 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Gilera's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2007 Gilera GP 800 relies on a 839.3 cc (51.2 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 74 HP (54 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 76.4 Nm (56.4 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 88.2 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (7,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the GP 800 measures 245 kg (540 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.3 HP/kg (3.31 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,593 mm (62.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.5-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph).
