Talk about knowing your ass from your elbow....
http://www.cycletrader.com/find/listing/2008-PIAGGIOBV250-95239212

I wonder if you sent this dude $6600 thinking you were getting the MP3 trike in the photo,
-would he then send you a real used BV250 in it's place?
"Oh, but that's what you ordered", the scammer could say. -Sorry if it was the wrong photo..."

He does mention later down in the sales descritpion tho that it's really an MP3 250,
but with those extra wheels and that fantasy windshield, IMO it no longer looks anything at all like a "scooter.." Razz emoticon

Oughta be a different catagory for such toys; -a FIVE wheeled "scooter..." ??? Laughing emoticon
(Maybe it should be called a "frike"?)

It ain't a BV250. It ain't an MP3. It's an A-bomination!

Does that thing have five wheels then? If a trike has three wheels, and a quad has four...What's the correct name for this? Quant?

I didn't like the mp3 at first, but after seeing a couple of them out in traffic I changed my mind and I quite like them and the unusual look, even if they are a bit spaceship-ish for me...But this...This is too much.

If you put a cannon on it, it looks like something that Snake-Eyes would ride while fighting the evil Cobra. Without, it looks dumb. But then again, I've never been a fan of the mp3.

I think this is the way transportation is going. Imagine an MP3 with an electric engine, a full cover, a little more wedge shaped. I reckon we will be driving them soon. Remember how ugly the ford Taurus was when it came out, Now all cars are pretty much shaped like that.
