At the heart of the 2008 Gilera Runner VXR 200 scooter motorcycle, Gilera pairs a 198 cc (12.1 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 48.6 mm (2.8 x 1.9 inches).
On the scales, the Runner VXR 200 measures 123 kg (271 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 855 mm (33.7 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,340 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.6-liter (2.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
