Piaggio MP3 500
I was at Vespa Seattle today checking out the sizing on the Corazzo jackets, and they had a few MP3 500's on the floor... These things are RIDICULOUS!!! I highly recommend going to a Vespa or Piaggio dealer and just sitting on one...
Apparently the 500's will go well over 100+mph with ease
They also will lean up to 40degrees while cornering...
I WANT ONE!!!
Oh wait... they are over $10,000 OTD.
Nevermind...

Vespa sells a trailer for these now!brimstone wrote:i bet it'd be good for towing stuff.
I've said it before and am saying it again: If you have the opportunity to test ride a MP3—even the 250 or 400—I highly recommend it. Really fun!

Why not? I've seen families of 4 on 2-wheeled scooters in Taiwan!nissanman wrote:I do like the whole "Mad Max-ness" of the 500. Suprisingly it wasn't as large in person as I thought it would be (that's a good thing). Too bad it can't carry a family of 4
The worst thing I saw was a father weaving through heavy traffic on a scooter with his daughter (she looked to be about 7-8 years old) standing on the seat behind him holding his shoulders.
