The Italian motorcycle manufacturer Gilera was founded in Arcore in 1909 by Giuseppe Gilera and in the 1950s dominated Grand Prix motorcycle racing, winning the 500cc road racing world championship six times in eight years. After facing a downturn in motorcycle sales due to the increase in the popularity of automobiles, the company was purchased in 1969 by the Piaggio group, more famous for producing Vespa scooters. The brand name was eventually used on a range of sports style automatic scooters such as the legendary Gilera Runner FXR, a 180cc water-cooled two-stroke with 0 to 60 times that could embarrass many a larger motorcycle and even some very expensive cars.

The Runner 180FXR gained an enviable reputation as one of the most exciting scooters to ride, a model that was invariably used and abused, and a favourite with customisers, so not many will have survived in original unmodified condition. This first generation version with upside down forks, disc front and drum rear brake has been part of a small private collection for a number of years. This rare survivor, still fitted with an original exhaust, has been started and run recently on jump leads but will need a new battery and recommissioning before use, however, it has the potential to provide some of the most fun you can have on two, admittedly, small wheels.
