same out look at the very rare last batch of 180sp but uses a 200cc 4stroke piaggio leader engine.

Over the years from introduction till 2005 the only change seen was a better looking exhuast with a chrome tip

nice introduction on the all the different runners

 

a simple short intro to any1 to needs or want to know abt them...ever since suzuki started naming their bikes by year (eg: k1,k2,k3,k4 or watever) new riders with Gilera runners also start naming thier runner the wat 03vxr,04vxr or 05vxr which r all the same n wat 06vxr n 07vxr which r also the same

bro's don't mind me asking where can i get the windsreen like the above picture of vxr200 thanks. location and price too ya..

[pornoheft]

Looks similar to the 06/07 one except for the mirrors and that meh windscreen. The extra ferring is nice though. I think it would fit into the 06/07 Runner without any problem.

[FinG]

upzzz for this thread:)

[mohgui]

a good thread to showcase the different Runners in the market. thanks to spy for the effort in putting this up.

maintaining at 80km on expressway is pure stress

 

no wonder i'm so stressed up after riding... that's my average speed on expressways

 

believe it or not... i haven't pass the 100km/h mark yet.

[mohgui]

when commuting on the highway or be it other roads, i must say it is not safe to travel within the speed limits. in fact we should jux go along with the flow of the traffic & not become a hazardous hog or speed freak. going with the flow & avoid tailgating the vehicle in front will be good enuff

[spy622]

and dont forget, the thinner the petrol, the more faster it burns....

 

nope it does not work this way

[spy622]

This is being showcase in the Eicma 2007 exhitbition in Italy which was just some weeks back...I tink by the time it reach us, it will be a long time.

 

Just like the new facelift Nexus 500 also nv come in, the Nexus250 or the Nexus125 also nv come in hehe

 

So wat if the wind shield looks gay...in Spore how many of the runner riders still have the orginal wind shield on n the orginal expensive big big mirrors on....

[Brembo]

Spy bro...

 

in local context, this would be the 2008 version of the Runner

A small extract from Wikipedia

 

Octane rating has no direct impact on the deflagration (burn) of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Other properties of gasoline and engine design account for the manner at which deflagration takes place. In other words, the flame speed of a normally ignited mixture is not directly connected to octane rating. Deflagration is the type of combustion that constitutes the normal burn. Detonation is a different type of combustion and this is to be avoided in spark ignited gasoline engines. Octane rating is a measure of detonation resistance, not deflagration characteristics.

It might seem odd that fuels with higher octane ratings explode less easily, yet are popularly thought of as more powerful. The misunderstanding is caused by confusing the ability of the fuel to resist compression detonation as opposed to the ability of the fuel to burn (combustion).
