I came across this today

Personally I think it looks like an engineering marvel! and as someone who already owns an MP3 I'd love to buy one when it comes out next year

It's definitely better than that thing with the Stabilizer that Clarkeson was driving on Nob Gear Posted Image

Also looks great for disabled bikers to get back on the road.

would kick a55 on the U turn!!

I like it very much, looks great and with that level of stability it would be a dream to ride...i'd give it a shot but it wouldn't replace the FZ6.

Despite all my prejudices I want one. It would make great alternative transport for the winter.

interesting allright but I dont think bikes have anything to worry about as it has 0 sex appeal and wouldnt make you feel awesome like a bike does.

Kinda like fighting with a bokken compared to using a katana.

Also, i hate the legs infront like sitting on a chain, god, i just couldnt do thats a deal breaker.

Energy is an eternal delight, and he who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.

Do what you will, this world's a fiction and is made up of contradiction.

now that's interesting. So could this be the first vehicle which could be ridden/driven by someone with a bike or car licence??? I doubt the Irish government would consider it to be a car licenced vehicle.

The MP3 is ridden by car license ONLY in Ireland. In the UK and the rest of Europe it is ridden by bike license or car license if you have your Piaggio dealer put some small spacers on the front wheels, which makers them 2cm further apart. Alternatively you can buy the MP3 LT which has the front wheels an extra 2cm further apart compared to the regular MP3.

I had to Google this for you James

http://www.motoblog....quadro-4d-500/1

Picture 34 seems to answer your question!

http://www.motoblog....uadro-4d-500/34

Judging by the title I'd also hazard a guess that the 4d is a 500cc vehicle. Might be nippy enough so
