'tis a scooter. the Gilera DNA 180. a four stroke, four valve single. 14'' wheels. heaps of fun, and a great start to biking.

Mine was probably the best custom one in the world, and thats being modest :P

Yeah I agree it does look great... and they're not that small either... bigger than a Street Magic... Saw one for the first time last year and couldn't figure what it was...

NICE SCOOT MATE!! How does it go? I was told (by someone who used to sell them) that they are faster than a big Ducati 0-80km/hr or something - does that sound right? What have you replaced it with?

It went really well, 0-80 very quickly, specially mine, i had all aftermarket transmission (as well as exhaust, filter etc..) and it was setup for pure acceleration. the clutch springs were setup to engage it at 7,000rpm...made some nice take offs from the lights :) still with a top speed of 140 which is pretty good...:scooter:

Bloody nice Morcs, the last bike i did any decent modification to was KLOWN's zxr - but that was too much work as i sprayed it with aerosol rather than compressor. Coats came out ok.......but so much sanding.

I sprayed all the frame and the gearbox cover in black, using aerosol cans, i got a very good finish...

...by the 3rd time of painting i was pretty good at it... :D
