Gilera Fuoco 500 - 2009 /2010

[mrmagoo]

I just fitted a Givi Screen ( RM 500 ) and a Givi box bracket ( RM 160 ) on saturday.

Took it up Awana and what a difference the screen makes. relaxed 130-140km/h cruising.

 

On a slight downhill managed to get an indicated 165km/h on the speedo. A CBR1000RR and an R1 who followed me was showing 175km/h on their clocks.

 

My GPS logged the Fuoco at 154km/h giving a speedo error of 11km/h. As I suspected, the Japanese speedos seriously overreads as compared to European bikes.

 

But what makes me really happy is the ability of the Fuoco to hit a genuine 154km/h when the factory claims 140km/h top speed. This is one instance I am happy the factory specs is inaccurate.

 

After about 1600km i am quite familiar with the bike and it handles substantially better with 32psi in front and 36psi in the rear. With the suspension setting at position 4 of 5 steps, I am grounding the mainstand less now. These two adjustments works wonders for the bike, and the rear, which was soggy when riding hard is now a lot better.

 

I am very happy with the Fuoco so far.

 

Pix to come.

True. This saturday pump some gas, hit the highway at 8am heading North, pin it between 120-140km/h and KL is less than 4 hours away, arrivig at 12pm. Then go pick up the rack, have it fitted, check-in a hotel for the night.

 

Next morning, (sunday) I'll take you sportsbike hunting along our favoite stretch; Ulu yam/Awana/Genting, have some coffee then charge downhill with the racer boys. Have a quick lunch, hit the highway by 1300 and you'll be beack home by 1800.

 

Gimme a call at +60192310005 if you're game.

you can consider the red one. there is still stocks at this moment. Personally, I feel that the pics does not do much justice to the bike. It really looks much better in real life. I am quite sure that once you lay your eyes on the bike, its a go!

 

There is a red one on display at the showroom right now

 

I am hoping to get mine on the 1st sep.
