Review Gilera GP 800
Big party
A scooter has never been so powerful, never has a scooter been so fast. Is the Gilera GP 800 still a real scooter??
Autobahn, left lane, speed 160. The Golf pulls over to the right. The Gilera can finally accelerate past and easily. 180, 190 are reached quickly. But there is more. 200, 210. Only shortly before 220 km / h does the speedometer needle rest on the dial, because the V-twin cylinder runs gently into the limiter under the full casing. Incredible! Even if the speedometer is a bit premature, just a few years ago the 193 km / h would be official for the Gilera GP 800 indicates was almost unthinkable. And Gilera’s new roll-over roller can easily handle the speed, which speaks for the sturdy tubular frame construction, the large, 16- and rear 15-inch wheels, but also for the good chassis set-up.
The scooter, which is 2237 millimeters long, weighs a proud 272 kilograms and is best climbed with the right leg over the bench like a motorcycle. The high central tunnel makes such acrobatic performances.
Once in motion, you can no longer feel the heavy weight. The GP 800 swings lightly from bend to bend, steers precisely and deliberately draws its radii. The spring elements respond sensitively, and in the damping they find a good balance between the necessary comfort and sporty hardness. The brakes are very effective with moderate hand force. Then there is the engine, which sprints off vigorously from every speed range and hangs directly on the gas? so the Gilera is more in a league with the Yamaha TMax than with the luxurious Suzuki Burgman 650.
And otherwise he is very different from Burgman. Except for the compartment under the seat, which doesn’t fit much more than a full-face helmet, the Gilera doesn’t have any additional storage space. The wind protection of the small, electrically height–adjustable disc is mediocre. And while with the Burgman you can choose between two automatic stages or sequential shifting, with the Gilera the automatic always takes over the gear exchange. Amazing, since the Aprilia Mana, which has the same engine, also offers the option. Furthermore, no ABS is currently available for the GP 800, and instead of a maintenance-free final drive it has a chain that has to be lubricated regularly ?? which is anything but typical of a scooter.
