I found this review the other day and thought i'd share. Yeah I am chomping at the bit waiting for my MP3 to get to me.

Piaggio Group continues to expand its Delta-scooter program with an all-new High Performance Engine that falls in the 500 cc range to bring even more power and fuel economy to the MP3 family. The MP3 Sport 500 hpe boasts top-shelf shocks and front brakes along with four distinct and dedicated paint and trim packages, but the real gem here is the "Sport Advanced" model that adds even more value with LED tech and even a reverse gear. Of course, all of this is on top of its general design that is already a shot of Pure-D awesomesauce that puts it in a league almost all its own.

I am liking mine. quick off the line but once you pass 60, it feels as though it could use a bit more power, but for normal riding around on back roads, it is good. maybe different weights would fix that problem. Just not sure which ones to run or what comes stock.

Yes...60mph or 98.7kmh. From there, it would be nice to have a smidge more umph. It is smooth at take off with no clutch chatter, so far at least, and the new sport suspension is much better, especially through the corners. almost at the 1000km mark for my first service which i have scheduled for April 17th, so no more riding until then. Don't want to mess with the warranty because of missed or late services. Overall i am very satisfied with the bike. I do notice the 110 tires more so up front than when they were 120 but maybe that is because the suspension is a little harder or it is just me. hard to say. overall, very satisfied with the mp3 500 hpe.
