Three-wheeled 250

[Gary]

Actually saw one of these three-wheel contraptions on the road the other day.


The fellow stopped at at traffic light and didn't have to put his feet down. He said it was a 250 and I thought he said it was made by Daelim, but I could only find info on a Kymco model, the MP3. Here is a review article.

Definately an interesting concept, but I'm not going to rush out and buy one.

It is Italian, Piaggio.

Duh?! I should have read the article... Anyway, he had it here in San Diego. Didn't have time to ask where he got it or how much he paid. He seemed like a novice (like me) and said that some of his motorcycle friends liked its "low speed stability."

Can't believe you never heard of the Piaggio MP3. Your behind the times my friend. You can learn more about it on Piaggio's website.

Gilera also has a version called the Fuoco that is supposed to be coming to the US as a MP3 500.

My wife has one in the same color. There's a 400 and a 500 in the works.

I just had a thought. How would the skills test work on a bike like that? I wonder if you would have "Trike Only" restriction? Just wondering.
