They must be listening to the riders. Up grades include a small glove box, "day rider seat option w/back rest, deeper sounding exhaust, LED light group, adjustable Footpeg, GPS built in, AND J Costa....O.K., O.K., stop drooling over your keyboard. I have no idea what will be available on the 2010 models and since my bank has "lost" the check sent to the dealer for my MP3 500 I was wondering if I should wait for a 2010 model IF there going to be any changes. Now, after you remove the hook from your mouth, will you still share any information with me on what you MAY know about 2010 models? Thanks.

They don't do model years like in the states. Things are changed as they develop them. Plus you won't see 2010's till 2010, so if you want to wait that long.

In Europe we do not have year models.
There is no telling when or if there will be an upgrade for the MP3 500.

I myself am still hoping for an MP3 or Fuoco 800 with the 850 engine of the GP800

They'd have to find some much harder steering bearings first to take the weight...

The 2010 250s are on the streets here in Mid-America. Wichita dealer has several. I love the 14-inch rear wheel.
