Gilera GSM 50

Guest · Posted: 14:53 - 10 Aug 2002 Post subject: Gilera GSM 50

does anyone know if it is possible to 'uprate' the engine (larger capacity - big bore kit??)
wha type of speeds can you get from it restricted and derestricted?

thank you

50cc urm derestricting sould give u about a 20% increse, dont bother with big bore kits just get a real bike

If its a 50cc scooter int u restriced to 30mph?? makes it easy 2 get busted if your doing 40mph

from years of 2 strokes id say if it works fine leave it alone!

i have to wait until i'm 21 to get a real bike cause i restricted to a max of 125cc or 33bhp! you are not trying to say a 125 is a 'real' bike are you!
i just found out that derestricting the bike gives you 50mph - tweaking the engine can get you 60-68mph - not bad for a 50.
i personally think 125's are a waste of time - whats the point in spending all that money and insurance on a little 125! wait until you 21 and get a real bike, before that, get a cheap little bike to do whatever u want

My mate has got one of those. he said when it was restricted it would just about hit 25-30mph and that was flogging the thing. but now that it is de-restricted he has had 60mph on it down hill. So that is not so bad is it Smile

125's r not a waste of time they r alot of fun and if u r saying 100 mph is crap erm something wrong with you. 50's arnt even classed as bikes they are all "mopeds" those gillera things are the uglyest thing on two wheeles. and i'm going to get my bike this year at 18. u can have alo o fun on a 125.

125's rule when it comes to town riding. The 0-60 is usually very good. It's only when you get on the dual carriage ways that the size shows. Anything over 90 mph is a struggle as the acceleration is very slow.

I dunno what a GSM is, but if it's anything like those DNAs then it's a scooter shaped like a very UGLY motorbike, hideous things. I laugh seeing kids riding DNA's they look like they've been thrown onto the top of it, hunched over the handlebars.

your not restricted to 125 until your 21, just 33bhp. and those restrictors often fall out.
oh and 50s are shite.

get a ride on a 600+ and you'll c y 125's are shit/boring.
struggling to get 100mph max or flying to 160+, hmmmm i wonder

its not like u do 160 everywhere, 125's are just a steeping stone to get onto bigger bikes, they are fun but you normaly just keep them for a year dnt mean they are shit. 50's are shit

If I can afford it when the time comes, I'd like to keep my 125 as a winter bike/rain bike/bike for when the Ducati has broken down.

At the moment it looks like I'd have to P/X it though Crying or Very sad

flyin to 160???
eh? u gonna be doin 100mph down to the shops?
im gettin a bigger bike coz i want to, but i wouldnt sell my rs125 if i didnt have to, they are great fun, small and agile and will go fast enough for anywhere except motorways
i have a feelin ill be a little bored on a 600 tho, not havin to change gear and havin to think about breakin before arrivin at corners!

Sorry about your loss Keith Sad

How long did they take to get to you? An RAC van pulled onto the car park of the Bradford Arms and we all thought you had asked them to drop you off there! But they were just sortin out someones bike that wouldnt start...
