I wasn't expecting that level of viciousness.

It was like an article from Bizzaro world. Everything I thought I knew and loved about the MP3 was thrown back in my face with a sneer.

The "The Perfect Bike For..." part was the best.

A pounding like that is bound to affect sales....

Surely this will end the 500 shortage! Probably free up alot of 250's and 400's as well!

Just wait until they find out that rain cover for the seat doesn't keep it dry! They will be back for another round of trashing. One good thing is that it never rains in southern California.

That review was so one sided! Talk about biased. One of your more disappointing finds 88.

Did we all read the same article?

Where was the whipping?

You don't think these things are an "oddball" in the world of bikes?

And yes, 10K for a scooter IS almost too much.

99.9% of the article was very positive. Chill out.

bkf, you must be new to these parts.

<splutter>
Do the Americans get irony?

"Yes, we get irony loud and clear. However, we don't waste too much time contemplating it. By the way, calling a plain white dog spot is not ironic, it's just stupid. "

I think there is a heavy amount of sarcasm by the posters (me included) in this thread bkf. It is a good review and there is alot of fun to be "ahead of the curve" with the MP3.

99.9% of 88's threads are written in Reverse English. If he/she says something is awful it means she/he likes it.

Well good!

For a minute there, I thought the whole lot of ya had gone goofy on me.

I guess I'm gettin to sensitive to the number of people that complain about
reviews, on any product. I've spent too much time on DPReview. You should
here the whining about new Nikons and Canons.

And these people are serious!

All right, that's it! (edited to support the outrage!)
I was expecting an embarrassing review and I'd have to donate my MP3 to The Girl Scouts of America (or as I know them, The Cookie Cartel),
but never such a review as that!
Thanks Alfonse Palaima, Pete Brissette, motorcycle.com!!!


Ciao 8)

Really nice catch 88!!! I enjoyed the video and the review!

I dont understand what you guys are talking about sounded like a good review to me , fill me in on what I'm obviously not reading ??

(edited to support the outrage, again, because we know the truth!) Sarcasm. That's what it is, right in our faces!
Well, it doesn't matter what motorcycle.com says, it's our MP3!

Oh, the humanity!

Jess should shut down this thread!!!!!! You guys are just full of sarcasm!!!

Ok not.

That was fun and an awesome review

R.B.

most awfulest review evar!!!!!

Krikey. You guys are killing me.

i just reported this post, i hope you don't mind....

isn't it strange how we all percieve things different, i watched the review and i thought for a reviewer with no intrest in scooters(that im aware off)that he was impressed by the MP3, yes a few little comments but im sure the same comments he would give the latest GSXR or R6 , in no way do i feel he made the bike look bad in anyway

paranoid

glad to hear their not all 'blowing up'

I'm writing the editor.

Were we reading the same article? It's right there in front of you
The tone, the manner, the comments and opinions, he obviously had made up his mind after the review an NO ONE could change it!

Again I say, and let me be absolutely clear:

Thanks Alfonse Palaima, Pete Brissette, motorcycle.com!!!


ALOHA

That was a "Whoosh" then.

i just watched the film
