From one Freddy B to another, I'm glad I found your videos! I've been considering upgrading my Yamaha 300cc scooter to the Piaggio. It's nice to see one on the streets here in the US. Answered some of the questions I had. Keep it vertical out there Freddy!
Excellent video. Where I live there aren’t many scooters. I saw one of these 3 wheelers pass by today. Very surprised. What are the oil change and valve adjustment intervals on this bike? Be safe…Peace..
Yes, there is a need to countersteer on the MP3; however, it is a little different than a standard motorcycle. I think it is a little strange for folks who are used to a regular motorcycle for in my opinion, the bike is more flickable than an normal bike which can cause some uneasiness if your'e not used to it. It does have more grip in the from when its raining!. Also, you have to be prepared when you leave from a stop while the bike is locked in the upright position. If you're not ready, you can drop the bike!
Yes . I had one . Moto techs hated to see me coming 3 wheels more work and part's to break . But if you know how to work on it .I sold mine . I got new burgman 400 now .
@@freddybgoldwinging2605 Hi man, I came across you're Chanel true the powers of algo and my interset in bikes/Scooters. I Have A Yamaha Tricity 300, and that "flickable" And uneasiness (For me: Front suspension causing it) Really scared me at the first 100K. Really, mostly on motorways/Highways. Or if the roadesurface is ... troublesome. Still not feeling 100% about it. Also, coming from to 2 wheels.
Hi, I hope you are enjoying the Piaggio. I have the same model but 400, and I was wondering if you recommend putting those small mirrors for blind spots? Greetings from Spain.
Hello. My small mirrors were already on the bike when I purchased it used. I would not recommend them. They seem to be a little more of a distraction than being useful, IMHO.
The bike does have a sports mode that makes quite a difference. However, I wouldn't necessarily say it is fast but it's definitely sufficient for most purposes. I think the single cylinder makes for great economy but not so for brute force. My former Suzuki Burgman 650s were fast! So much so I've embarrassed some Harleys in the past that tried to leave me behind but they couldn't!!

I haven't check on the intervals of maintenance yet. I just take good care of mine with regular oil changes and such. Thanks for the well wishes!
I'm interested on MP3. I'm not used to counter steering - I notice that you don't seem to do it, unless you're doing it subtly?

@@freddybgoldwinging2605 Thank you very much for your reply.
I've seen a few people review this bike and they've all said this bike wasn't fast. I don't think they've realised it has a sports mode.
