A short review on the Gilera Nexus 300ie

[Doremi]

lol. so fast picture lai liao. wanna buy honda intergra. But...........honda bike very ex...lol. sure blow pocket.

[topgearalwaysrock]

The next big thing if it ain't problematic!

 

But the engine is the same V-Twin from the Mana 850 isn't it? The Mana has been in the market since 2008, so all problems should be ironed out!

hahah. got integrated panniers lei. Plus top box. Ugly never mind. Practical and useful, can only. Thats what bike is for.

hahah. DCT. Like SRV, it used chain too.

[topgearalwaysrock]

DCT not the same as CVT. haha. It's a double-clutch transmission, which is a manual transmission, with actual gears.

 

Just that with two clutches, it engages gears at lightning fast speeds. Shifts are done by the transmission itself, hence many look at it as auto gear....

 

Haha. Like VW DSG gearbox. But with side paniers and all, look seriously damn ugly. Like Piaggio Beverly..... =(

[topgearalwaysrock]

Here's something interesting about Aprilia.

 

[parotae]

I like Beverly, ugly and nice.

[etkach3]

Hmm.... Still is decent.

 

BMW C600 machine price probably $25-27k.... Haha.

wow 27k?..for a scoot i might as well buy BMW F650GS for the same price on the road..heheh

[Ardian]

Wow..! Scoots are getting bigger and bigger..!

[topgearalwaysrock]

The T-Max 530 probably will sell for $23-25k OTR from HLC. Haha.

 

I don't think you'll want the F650GS [i know it's the 800cc version]. Performance wise, the T-Max will win it hands down.

definitely:) with all the mods available for the tmax i for sure it can makan even r1 perhaps:D

but the tmax 530 is a very well built bike i dun mind the price as long the quality is superb

[etkach3]

Wow..! Scoots are getting bigger and bigger..!

bigger maxi scoot its like a sport bike with auto transmission...the pickup is crazy..hehehee

[topgearalwaysrock]

I won't be surprised the Aprilia SRV850 is the same price or slightly cheaper than the T-Max 530. Haha.

but consumption wise...lol

[norz]

im in love with e aprilia srv850...............

[topgearalwaysrock]

but consumption wise...lol

 

 

15km/L?? Haha.

[topgearalwaysrock]

but consumption wise...lol

 

 

15km/L?? Haha.

[parotae]

How come car more fuel saving than 2 wheels always amazes me. Somebody must be screwing our minds. Car bigger cc and almost 6 times heavier plus big luggage space plus passenger capacity. Ever wonder if you use a bike consumption and turn it into a car equally, it actually consume more petrol, no?

Haha. Yeah. FJR1300 consume at 12-13km/L....

 

Erm, if you detune the engine from 142bhp on the FJR1300 to the norm of 88bhp, I think it'll sip fuel at 30km/L. Haha.

 

Bike and car acceleration different lah. Cannot compare.

 

Even a Cub 125cc accelerates off the line faster than a Normally Aspirated 1.3L engine, yet it can achieve above 45km/L. Haha.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Yeah. Why? Haha.

 

Too powerful for Singapore roads, that's why my dad sold it.

[Ardian]

Gave up.. Can't find any Nexus 300 for sale..

[Suede]

Harlow....nexus 300 no more production already is it???

[Ardian]

Harlow....nexus 300 no more production already is it???

 

Haha..! You're here also.. And to answer your question, I guess they have stop production.. But you can wait for the Aprilia SR 300.. Which to me is the "rebadged" model of the Gilera Nexus 300.. Or maybe you can have a look at the new Aprilia Atlantic 300.. Also quite good specs.. I personally like the front glove compartment.. I used to ride X9 and that glove compartment do come in handy, but sad to say that most Italian scoot now don't come with it..
