SBF Piaggio MP3 Cafe 2009

[rhys]

Had owned bigger cc bikes in the past when I was younger, those that goes 130km plus an hr in first gear. Now don't have the adrenalin for those high speed thrill.

 

It is auto gear so torque and respond will not be as good as manual gear bikes. But is sufficient for me.

 

You demo-ed the 250cc so should be roughly a little bit more power to tap on with the extra cc. Little bit because it is 34kgs heavier.

 

Thanks for the advice. Appriciate it.

Hi guys , was considering switching to MP3 125 . May i know whats the fuel consumsion? Currently riding a X8 . i know it sounds stupid which down grade but no choice only got 2B. Cheers

 

Bro, don't bother if you changing to 125, cause I spoken to the Aux police when they where by the road side, had a 15mins conversation with one of them, he told me that its not really worth it, cause its way power to weight ratio is way out, the bike is too heavy for its 125cc.....

But then again, you might wanna consider calling piaggio and go down for a test ride on the 125 before making any decision. Alternativly, you may want to consider taking you 2A and getting the 250 or 400 which are better choices.... Just my humble opinion, hope it helps,

i guess so too. 125cc for honda cub can la for a three wheeler sian. lazy to take 2A, long time never ride manual bike scared to do the S course and figure 8. Tried 2A before stop halfway. Any one in this club rides a 125 cc mp3? Going down tomorrow to PSC to service my bike maybe see if can test the MP3

Me getting the 125RL cos only 2B which i obtained recently. Placed a deposit at one of the motor shop in late OCt. Few days later was told 125 no stock liao. Maybe CISCO bought all the remaining stock. I did not take back my deposit cos to me its worth waiting though the new shipment will only arrive in Jan 08 or so.... Have you seen any MP3 125 that is on display in any of the motor shop???

 

Have never test ride the 125 but should be alright for me if it lack of some power...

 

cheer!

[Mr_Atlantic]

Just have this malossi mutivar installed on my MP3 250...Wow what a big different it made..My Mp3 has now become a Mp3 type R...The pickup and speed between 70-100kph is so much better than a stock one.I would said the feel is quite similar to my ex-silverwing400 in term pickup and mid-range power..my clutch slip probem has gone too after the installation...But of cause you gain and lose too...fuel comsumtion is now down to ard 21km/l and rollers have to be change every 5k...

[john_jenin5]

aha just a small question here if go to malaysia n use the express way did mp3 can go in motocycle lane at plaza toll?? or need to pay a tol like car

 

any answer for my small question... bump bump

[rhys]

Btw Bi2Sco, do you feel slightly more inconvinence for you to squeeze thru traffic?

No discernable difference splitting lanes, at least coming from a X9 which is wider. The width is only as wide as both tips of the handle bar or mirrors.

 

Slow speed manoeuvre is clumsy with 2 wheels upfront plus the MP3 is heavy. You can't ride like those Kup Kia in heavy traffic, squeeze to the left or right lanes between stationary vehicles.

 

I am still riding with a injured left shoulder so pressing the handle bar down in slow turns is still a problem for me.

[pipi]

Bro Bi2Sco,u're riding a mp3 400 rite,can i noe hows the fuel comsumption of the 400?

Still have not broken in the engine yet as I only put 360km plus on it. Will update on the FC once it is broken in.

 

Or let's hope other MP3 400cc owners post theirs. I am very sure there must be 1 or 2 lurking in this thread.

[Mr_Atlantic]

For my 250 avg is 23km/l..the best i have got is 25km/l.According to paper the 400 is ard 18km/l.

thankz bro,cos was planning to get the 400 but was worried about the fc..

[Mr_Atlantic]

With fuel price rising sky high..really hav to think twice about getting a 400 esp if u use ur bike daily..18km/l is consider very high for a 400cc scooter..if ur worries is the power of 250..i can tell u for sure 250 is more than enough for sg road..

[pipi]

haiz,u have said the things tat i have thought..cos i'm riding a spec 3 now,and my workplace is at tuas area..sometimes when late for work have to accelerate abit more..now have to collect more info about mp3 400 and 250..

[pipi]

just return back loois..they quoted mi 14200 otr for mp3 400..int 4%..

[Mr_Atlantic]

hi pipi..jus to let u know..the open market value of my mp3 is only about 4k ++.This is equal to low resale value..be prepare to suffer hugh loeses if u dont intend to ride long..

Is it a high or low 4k OMV for the Mp2 250ie? Because the 400ie(mine) OMV is $6,560.

 

Looks like higher margin for the 250ie after ARF, Duty, GST etc.

 

The OTR price between the 125, 250 and 400cc has a 1k +/- spread.

[Mr_Atlantic]

Its $4125..far less than half of the otr price

[pipi]

Anyone care to share the FC of MP3 125, 250 and 400?

[CrankyBiker]

I am interested in the same question too as I would need to travel between east and north everyday and from east to west for certain days of the week. With the mounting cost of the gas, it makes sense to get good fc bikes. Being a new rider, i thought the MP3 will be more stable for me to gain confidence.

[william_liu]

Hmmm because of the ride height and weight, I won't say it will be easier to ride than other 2B bikes for new riders. You'll still need to treat it with respect... but of course once you are used to it, the third wheel is defintely a safety plus point.

[Brembo]

jenin bro....seems like I am the only one who noticed your question

all toll gantries, carpark gantries, ERP gantires, watever gnatries are proceeded normally like a bike for the MP3. No problem for the malaysian toll oso.

[Brembo]

guys guys....

 

could we compiled a list of MP3 riders / owners here in the forum?

once I have the names and if the numbers are substantial, maybe I could plan some rides events for all the MP3 riders....

*I have been dreaming of like 5 or more MP3s riding corners one after another, wanna make it come true lah!*

 

keep your fingers crossed, i will also try to "ping" Piaggio to see they can arrange any perky rideout or meetups for MP3 riders.

 

but 1st of all, the names must be in....as all times, let me start the ball rolling...

 

1. Brembo - 9669 3022 - MP3 250 - sky blue - FBB2729J (optional)

2.

3.
