SBF Piaggio MP3 Cafe 2009

[Peetur]

and let me clarify: based on the pictures, I thought it looked kinda cool. I was very interested in getting one, but when I saw it in the showroom, I really couldn't make myself like it, even though I wanted to. There's something fuddy-duddy about the two front wheels ("handicapped transport" or

"senior citizen" were my spontaneous thoughts).

either u like it or u dun, i find the out look kills, at least is eye catching to me.

Problem is the parking space and some gantry at certain building, maybe MP3 might have problem 'squeeze in'.

[JeetKuneDo]

actually the handicapped vehicle was with 2 wheels at the back,1 front...the MP3 isnt that bad-looking...but well.. a person's pear might be another person's posion...haha..

 

MP3 with that xtra wheel is really a safety factor.

 

For those who have tested it, manage to see the storage space ??

if u look on the other side tis 3 wheel is unique.

 

normal handicapped veh wheels r fixed @ the rear for it to b able to stable up, where as tis MP3 the wheels are fixed in front & it turns as u corner like a normal bike.

 

& limited pcs has been brought in, maybe by the time u wan oso gotta wait for shipment.

If you like the looks, good for you. It's a cool technology, and the added stability, taking corners at high speed, better braking, etc. are all a big boon. Nevertheless, I've decided to wait for the Vespa GTV 250. Should be available next summer.

the amazing thing abt dis scooter is dat .. 3 wheels but it CAN corner!!

[william_liu]

Yah, I agree the looks are highly subjective... either it's love at first sight or hatred....

 

 

For me personally I'll trade looks for safety though....

ya J bro...the 2 limited ed units are GT60.

GTV250 is based very closely with this GT60.

However due to commercial reason, GTV 250 will not be considered to

come into Spore. Nearest might be end of this year or even next year

i might considering getting this bike when i get married & my wife needs my 4 wheels lah...

 

it still looks darn good to me...

[BoonS4]

Hi guys, after riding super4 for so long n feel stable n never think of bike again heee i chance upon this scooter n also feel dam good n nice lor... at first my heart straight away say to try out this bike next yr but then as i read review, i found that it is a pitty hee hee that it wheels dont auto lock so that our foot no need to come down on traffic lite then feel as comfy as car. u see u need to flick a switch.. to make the bike stand upright when complete stop some people says that u can forget n bike just drop like that ah and give its 200kg.. no auto reverse gear i also scare hahah but of course i know auto reverse is a bit exp la///...

 

because for my super 4 160kg i think when i park into slope wa LAN pushing it reverser out is so dam siong man cant imagine 200kg bike....

 

well still appreciate this new concept bike that makes our road interesting la heeeeee

the light blue one i tested doesn't have side stand.

when park on slope, u need to engage park brake (u need to engage that magic button to center the bike)

actually with 2 wheels in front, they act as a main stand already

view it last week at alexandra village motordiam, fornt looks nice, but the rear is ugly, looks identically like the x8 rear, further more, the maintenance will be high as two wheels how many brake pads.

 

went under and see the engine, looks like a x9 engine. Cross fingers for those who had place their bookings....

[Silverwing JDM]

Well, extra wheel might have extra "problems"....

 

Some X9 owners should have the same feeling as me.

 

Yeah, sin sin hua siong siong, after 1 year later, every CNY go and pai pai ang mo chia moto buo dai chee "

guess the maintence will be not any lesser than a X9,for the brake pads,it's the same just that it has an additional rim and tyres..X9 too have dual disc for the front..

Is it true if u stop at traffiic lights, the MP3 can still tilt n drop if u don't activate the suspension lock?

 

Jus curioz....

 

[william_liu]

Yes, but only if you don't put your foot down.

 

And if you have gone through the Class 2B/A lessons to get your licence, putting your foot down when you stop should be second nature by now!

this bike is made to change that!

 

our perception of a bike is a 2 wheeler.....isnt it?
