Modern Vespa

JUst filling Ina V62 form to get a replacement V5. Can a UK owner please confirm what Taxation class is shown on there V5?

Ta

Tricycle

Yes, unfortunately it's a Tricycle.
That is, for those of us who hold a full motorcycle license in the UK.
More expensive insurance,tax and possible mot's when that comes round.

Thanks all

Knew it was a tricycle but the v62 mentions privat light goods etc so was just checking👍

Yes it's a tricycle .It costs slightly more for a MOT and there seems to be fewer MOT stations testing trikes, but the bike is probably easier to sell due to it being a trike due to the fact that you can drive on a car licence, as long as you got one before a certain date. As and when i come to sell my fuoco i may convert it to a tricycle to make it easier to sell ,as why anybody with a motorcycle licence would buy a fuoco/mp3 unless as me have a disability when you can have such a great range of motorcycles to chose from is beyond me. Glad you got the bike problem sorted.

I can't agree with this comment!
After 50 years of holding a full m/c license and owning everything from Moped's to Goldwing's I still find the biggest grin on my two MP3's

Don't get me wrong i love the fuoco and would love to try one of the 4 wheelers ( forgot the name) .The fuoco has got me back on a solo ( i have a Guzzi outfit) the fuoco's / mp3 ability to stay upright at a standstill is a boon to me with my disability ,it is 30+ kilos heavier than a 950cc v twin guzzi and the fuoco is very top heavy were the guzzi's weight is lower but at the moment i would not think of riding the guzzi solo, so the fuoco is the winner.

I think you are referring to the Quadro4. Cool concept other than the fact that it has a 346cc motor in it with 30hp. Can't imagine that it is much fun due to the weight of the bike until you get out on the curvy stuff. top speed is only 130km/h. make that with a 500 or 600 with about 50+hp and it may be worth riding.

Oddly enough Third Party Fire and Theft Insurance on Mp3 300 was £6 CHEAPER than the same insurance on my Honda PCX 125.

M.O.T was only £8 dearer but Road Tax is £85 compared to my £18 tax on the 125

Still well worth it though.

Yes the Quadro4 , i just could not think what it was called when typeing my post. Pretty impressive video's on youtube on it's handling/tricks but lack of cc's sort of puts me off, along with what seems to be a lack of any real dealer network and a importer that looks like they can't realy be bothered here in the UK.Would love to try one out.

I have block insurance so I can't break down the separate premiums for my MP3,PCX and Li150.
Road tax as you say £85, £18 and FREE for the Lambretta.
