![]() new200guy wrote: Wonder why it is for sale with only 72 miles on it??? Inadequate research by the buyer. A fundamental misunderstanding of the capabilities of a 3-wheel bike. The belief that 3-wheels such as the Niken are easier to ride than PTWs. Buyers remorse. Inexperienced rider. Or any of the other usual reasons a bike doesn't work out, including a couple unique to MP3-type rides. Last edited by Dooglas on Sun Apr 28, 2019 7:50 am; edited 2 times in total |

![]() Owner may have thought it added extra stability like the MP3 does. The Yamaha most certainly does not at slow speed or stopped . It also has a fair amount of power so if this was someone looking to step it back a bit it would be the wrong bike.

![]() If you really want to know, you could probably ask him.
I would guess it's for the same reason you see a lot of low mileage MP3s for sale. They aren't trikes, and the buyer doesn't understand that if they were trikes, they would fall over the first time you tried to turn them, as a lot of people have found out the hard way by locking the tilt when coming to a stop and then trying to turn it a little. |

![]() Man some of you guys are harsh!
Can't a guy just buy it and then not like it and decide to deal it off? Maybe after riding it for a while it just didn't fit him. His money, his bike, his reason... His business. |

![]() The first time I rode an MP3 was on a test ride from the dealer, and I reckon I did more than 72 miles (but I was sold on the idea after just 2)
