Eicma 2008: Gilera GP850 Corsa maxi-scooter concept

Gilera has also produced a prototype for the Eicma show in the form of a concept scooter.
It’s a new Gilera GP 850 Corsa which takes the engine and the GP 800 road chassis of the maxi–scooter, while other elements have been borrowed from the supersports road version.

The GP 850 Corsa has an upside-down fork and rear Ohlins suspension, a double side mounted crome exhaust and radial Brembo calipers which are the same as the Aprilia Tuono models.

The tail is more tapered than the previous GP 800, and has vertically placed lights in the place of the production series horizontal ones.

The front is also new and currently has no headlight, but is characterised by a generous air intake modelled on that of the Aprilia RSV.
