Positioned in Gilera's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2005 Gilera Runner VX 125 relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 57.0 x 48.6 mm (2.2 x 1.9 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Runner VX 125 measures 119 kg (262 lbs) dry. 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 1,340 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 108 km/h (67 mph).
