Very very nice. I like the looks of it - don't think I will get one, but I am sure they will sell out FAST.....

very nice


two questions:

1) do all the MP3s have the black minishield, or just the red?
2) is this the same pipe as on the GTS? if so, will it have the same problems

thanks

nevermind about question 1---i see that the windscreen hasn't been put on yet...i assume it is smoked like the black one has, which will look great with that cherry red

There also appears to be another red out there (ie: ? Europe) which is VERY eyecatching ........

Hmm - I think he is not Mr Colannino but the other guy. I also have the
notion that the bike may be the 400 cc iin that shade of red.
Can't be sure though.....

So the bottom line is that I am NO USE at all to this thread but am enjoying contributing G night, Ms D

That Cherry Red is excellent. Unfortunately I believe we are only getting the Black and Silver so far in Canada.

According to http://www.piaggiocanada.com/ the Black and Silver as well as the Cherry Red are available in Canada....the MP3 250cc is only available.. I think I am going to change the colour I want for my MP3 from Black to Cherry Red

go here http://www.eicma2006.piaggio.com/home_eng.html


when the page loads, hit Piaggio, then MP3 400 Photogallery


that is the color blue for the 400...it is beautiful...

look at the pipe...much nicer...

then hit the side profile, see that nice 14 inch rear wheel

gah, everytime i tell myself to get the 250 i come back to this site and decide to wait a bit longer

maybe piaggio can help me out...either take down this gallery or bring the blue 400 to the states

opps, i can add the photos here i think

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text 400 model


vs: External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text


back wheel of the 400 makes the look more aggressive than the smaller 12 inch on the back of the 250


here is the nicer pipe of the 400

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

vs the 250 pipe: External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

of course that is the 250 in a red that isn't available for the 250??


g

of course after all that, i will test drive a 250 and likely wont be able to walk out without buying it...damn you piaggio

I hope that the light blue becomes available here in the US. That's the color I rode in San Antonio and it has become my favorite of all the colors.
