The bad bits. The GP800 is a fantastic scooter but like most bikes it's not perfect. The biggest issue with the GP800 is weight. Like most maxi scooters it simply weighs far more than it should. When I first heard about the GP800 I thought all my Christmas's had come at once; then I saw how much it weighed. 235kgs (518lbs) is WAY too much for any kind of performance two wheeled vehicle. The weight makes the bike a pain in the ass to move around and blunts all of its performance figures. Hopefully Gilera and any competing brands will keep any new performance scooters to well under 200kgs in future. Storage on the GP800 is rather poor compared to competing maxi's with no glove box up front and an under seat storage area that barely holds a single full face helmet. Finally the powered windscreen is great idea but serves no real purpose as the highest setting is still too low, even for a midget. Oh…forget the centre stand too, it's damn near impossible to get the bike on it. Gilera should really sell the bike with a six month supply of Stanazol; powerful steroids are needed.
Summing up the Gilera GP800. Gilera really have moved the game on with the GP800, it is far and away a vastly superior bike to any other maxi scooter on the market. This is a scooter that totally blurs the line between scooter and motorcycle. The GP800 is perfectly capable of fast motorway cruising, long distance riding , aggressive A-road carving and it still beats the average motorcycle hands down in town because of its simple CVT transmission. Put simply…if you're in the market for a large capacity do everything bike for all types of riding, there is only ONE bike even worth considering. The Gilera GP800. The world's first Superscooter.
