i have owned my Gilera since my 16th just before christmas and i think that you should not have your gilera deristricted because i can tell you from personal experience that its not all about speed, its about looks as you said.because of me having mine deristricted, i came off mine on black ice in wales, and now it has been damaged, it does not have those looks anymore.stick to the speed buttie,donĀ“t wreak its looks aswell.
