Rumour has it that Piaggio USA is scaling back their MP3 line from three models to one for 2013. Starting second quarter 2012, Piaggio is no longer accepting dealer orders for the soft styled MP3 250 and 400, as well as the bold MP3 500.

You have to wonder if all the Chinese look-a-likes have made a dent in their three wheel sales?

I think you hit the nail on the head KZ, we all understand they are well built and eveything but in this economy people are not going to dish out double or triple the money for one over a chino one for way less. Especially if they are just using it to ride around or just in town riding.

I did try one of these a year ago, very very weird. Theyre well built but the over complicated design had me worried about maintenance being higher. They do also have far too many models! If you want extra wheels at the front the Tyrrell p34 had the right idea!

Do you have a picture of one of thos Tyrrel P34s?

sorry they were amazing beasts and some real genius went into creating them.

They were neat looking but as I recall they didn't exactly strike fear into the opposition. The FIA banned them soon after.
