Overview

Introducing the 2012 Gilera GP 800, a bold entry in the scooter market that bridges the gap between practicality and performance. This powerhouse is designed for riders who demand more than just a utilitarian two-wheeler; it offers an exhilarating experience that challenges the conventional perception of scooters. With its sporty styling and robust engineering, the GP 800 is perfect for city commuting and weekend escapades alike, appealing to both seasoned riders and those new to the motorcycle world. At the heart of the GP 800 lies an impressive 839.30 cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a thrilling 73 horsepower at 7,750 RPM. This potent powertrain is complemented by a remarkable torque output of 73 Nm at just 4,500 RPM, ensuring rapid acceleration and effortless highway cruising. With a top speed of 210 km/h (130.5 mph), the GP 800 is not just a means of transportation; it’s a gateway to adventure. The automatic gearbox and centrifugal clutch provide a seamless riding experience, while the liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance, even during long rides. The GP 800 is packed with cutting-edge technology and features designed to enhance the riding experience. The double-cradle framework of high-tensile steel tubing offers exceptional stability and durability, while the telescopic hydraulic fork and hydraulic monoshock with aluminum alloy swingarm provide precise handling and a comfortable ride. Safety is paramount, thanks to dual front and rear disc brakes, delivering strong stopping power. Additional features include electric starting, a stylish windscreen, and an innovative ignition system that includes dual ignition and tilt-sensitive cut-off for added security. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: With 73 HP and 73 Nm of torque, this scooter provides thrilling acceleration and impressive top speed.
  • Comfort & Stability: The high-quality suspension system ensures a smooth ride, even on bumpy roads, making it ideal for both city and highway use.
  • Advanced Technology: Features like dual ignition and electronic immobilizer enhance reliability and security, providing peace of mind for riders.

Cons

  • Weight: At 248 kg (546.7 lbs), the GP 800 is on the heavier side for a scooter, which might impact maneuverability in tight spaces.
  • Seat Height: With a seat height of 780 mm (30.7 inches), it may pose a challenge for shorter riders to comfortably reach the ground.
  • Fuel Capacity: While 18.50 liters (4.89 gallons) offers decent range, it may not be enough for long-distance touring without frequent refueling stops.
