After owning several scooters over the last 10 years, I've decided I really needed to consolidate. Yesterday I had a 2015 Yamaha moped for the teenager (who rarely rides it), a 2013 Vespa LX150 for the wife (who never rides it) and a 2015 GTS Super 300 which I ride frequently. We've tried two up on the Super, but we barely fit so we went looking.

Tomorrow I will have the same moped for the teenager but we will be down to just one actual scooter...2016 Piaggio MP3 500

I am sure I will miss my darling blue Super, but space and finances and desire for shared riding have driven me to shop. My local dealer just loves when I walk in to 'window shop' Nerd emoticon

so sorry to hear that and I wish I loved closer. I would have snapped up the 150.

Continue to enjoy the riding!

You'll (both) love the MP3 for all sorts of reasons.

First day riding in on city/suburban streets: a little more challenging getting out of my house parking spots but very comfy ride overall. I need to get used to the seat setup on the MP3 compared to the GTS, but I'm looking forward to longer two up rides with my wife
