Me and my Piaggio MP3 400

[lovetoride]

Good review. Never know you still need to use your leg despite having 3 wheel !

[two wheels]

Wanna ask for a 1.55m lady, is it possible to handle the MP3 with ease? Interested to get since the launch here but due to height & weight of the machine, I'm afraid that I can't even tip-toe when stationary..

 

First of all, the bike is not light, even the 125 cc version weighs nearly 200kg. But i have seen girls your height riding taller and heavier class 2 bikes, so it boils down to the rider.

The MP3 handles differently from normal bikes, as I've mentioned in my review. It can move at walking pace and not wobble like a normal two wheeler. And when it's on the move it has no competition in terms of roadholding. I have the confidence to lean right down on turns and grinding the centrestand on the road has become commonplace.

The seat height of the MP3 is not very high, about the height of a vespa, so I don't think it should pose much problem for you. again, with any bikes, it's a matter of getting used to the weight of it.

I read here that you can actually test the MP3 at the Piaggio service centre at Genting Road. Why not give them a call and find out? 6547 4466

If you're serious about buying the MP3 I strongly encourage you to try it out first, some may like the way it handles, others may not.

Good luck!

what a review, just as it said in the brochure. I like the Fuoco 500, looks more like an atv.

since the bike looks a bit big and bulky how does it perform when going upslope?
