I find some differences in the height from the floor to the edge of the front
body work/fender over the front tires. I see as much as 1/2" from models on the show room, and (2) I have seen on the streets. What does yours measure standing upright, tires straight ahead and NOT on the centerstand, no one sitting on the scooter.

If you go to the Piaggio Website, they have the complete Specs on the bikes from Seat Height from the Floor, and everything you would ever want to know in a graphic. If I come across the picture, I will post.
I have been there before on the New MP3/500 Sport when I was investigating the lowering of it, as it was too high for me.

Thanks for the specs, I have seen them. The dimension I am questioning is not listed. As far as rear suspension settings go- I would agree (maybe) if the shock settings were in fact set at a different ramp/notch. But if the same, then something else is different. The dimension I am referring to is from the bodywork/wheel opening for the front wheel.

I lowered mine with Hagon Shocks, so if I was parked to another MP3/500 Sport, the Ass of my Bike would be 2" lower.
