Good Points

Lots of attention from other road users and pedestrians! Also this bike is insanely comfortable to ride...I've slept on beds less comfy than this bike! The advantage of having an extra front wheel, seemingly endless grip through the corners, and a very spacious under seat compartment and as far as the government are concerned the 3rd wheel doesn't exist so its still classed as a 250cc moped and therefore you pay the same amount of tax!


Bad Points

Very expensive for a 250 at over £4000 new and the complex front suspension system and extra front wheel add quite a bit of weight.


General Comments

I recently took the mp3 250 out for a test ride just out of curiosity to see how a 3 wheeled bike would handle. Despite being quite a heavy machine it's still rather quick, reaching around 80-85mph. Cornering is hilarious with two front wheels; you can really throw it around and it just grips! The mp3 is also no wider than a normal two wheeled scooter so filtering is no problem. Putting both your feet up at traffic lights is interesting too. The only thing I didn't get a chance to try out is the under seat storage and the boot but its very big at over 60 litres.
