Engineered by Gilera for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2008 Gilera Runner VX 125 features a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 57.0 x 48.6 mm (2.2 x 1.9 inches).
On the scales, the Runner VX 125 measures 119 kg (262 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,340 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
