"It's the three wheel deal"

See the MP3 gets a pretty good writeup in the financial times.

Actually growing to it, reading about that tilt lock... keeping both feet up when coming to traffic lights sounds very nice indeed.

This was also published in the Saturday FT newspaper around Britian, rather impressive.

anyone who has ridden both the mp3 and the GTS agree???

If so, i will begin looking more seriously at the mp3 as a commuter in the next 12-18 months (the 400 of course)

I've ridden the MP3, and I own a GTS. It kind of pegs the writer as not having any idea what they're talking about. Which scooters is he actually referring to? I would hardly call the ET, LX, GT, or GTS "cumbersome", and those are the ones (of late) that "stay faithful to the styling cues of 60 years ago".

Really, it's a nonstatement.

I think he's just refering to the fact that wheeling it around is easier without having to take it's weight, you just rely on the tilt lock.
