PRICE REDUCTION Good News & Bad News and a couple of freebies

Description

I bought this vehicle from new - the registration is a personal one - Y21DJN - 2 wheels at the front 1 at the back and my initials - I would be happy to have the original 10 plate registration restored at an additional cost of ?80 as charged by the DVLA

It can ONLY be ridden on a motorcycle licence

The accident was a low speed - no other vehicle involved - incident - I  accelerated out of a roundabout and hit some newly spilt diesel and the bike slipped over - the damage was superficial and cosmetic.  

It was repaired by Sudden Impact of Dagenham at a cost of ?1. 00 which was covered by my insurance company Carole Nash - it looks like new - I had a previous RTC 10 years ago and this accident broke my ankle and so with the risk of further intrusive surgery I  have decided to give up riding

Whilst it was in for repair I had the Headrace Bearing. which would generally cost around ?700. and also the belt and rollers replaced - when it had its MOT the front tyres were at 2mm tread so I  have had those replaced as well 

I have had the headlights modified and additional lighting professionally installed as I  used to use it to deliver blood out of hours and so have had the dipped light wired.  so it is on continuously even with the main beam - also helps to be seen

Also included is an air cushion similar to an AirHawk - very comfortable and now if required a Frank Thomas waterproof suit that I have been trying to sell - This a waterproof suit - the Jacket is XL and the trousers are 2XL with braces included - the description is copied from the Frank Thomas Website

Piaggio had their new Piaggio MP3 400 i. e. on display at EICMA last week. giving the MP3 the engine many said was needed in the first place.   The 400cc engine offers a top speed of 92 mph. capable of keeping up with traffic anywhere and most likely expanding the demand for this already appealing 3 wheeler.

Press release follows:

PIAGGIO MP3 400 i. e. The Piaggio MP3. the three-wheel scooter that recently revolutionised personal transport by redefining the entire concept of ride stability. has grown to a 400cc displacement to offer unprecedented performance and safety. Fun. nimble and nervy. the Piaggio MP3 400 i. e. handles curvetaking with extraordinary safety and road holding that only the MP3 can manage. while providing all the power and distance range of a real touring scooter.

The Piaggio MP3 has upped its engine capacity to offer even zippier performance together with a safe. fun ride.

The new Master 400 engine (Multi-Valve Advanced Super Torque Engine Range) — a 4 stroke. 4 valve unit with liquid cooling and electronic injection. provides a 34 hp power output at 7. 00 rpm and torque of 37 Nm at 5. 00 rpm.

These performance figures translate into smooth. full power output at any engine speed. with response and acceleration at the top of the category. This makes it possible for the Piaggio MP3 400 i. e. to handle all kinds of riding. from town traffic to city bypass roads and tougher out-of-town roads in total comfort and safety even when riding with a passenger and a full load. Extra power and full-bodied torque become available at low engine rpm and are in fact crucial at critical moments like overtaking. when the Master 400 i. e. engine’s acceleration and throttle response together with the exceptional stability of the two-wheel front suspension let the rider pull away fast and safely.

The Piaggio MP3 400 i. e. is truly an all-round scooter. On town riders. the Piaggio MP3 400 i. e. handles cobblestones. tram tracks and irregular roads with the greatest of ease and stays stable and safe on wet roads as well. The exceptionally large underseat storage bay (which holds two full-face helmets). the wraparound protection of the wide front shield and excellent cruising speed the new engine offers make this the ideal vehicle for long-distance as well as tougher rides.

The new 400cc engine also adds substantial advantages as regards the running gear: the use of the new engine and a 14” rear wheel with a 140/70 tyre on the Piaggio MP3 400 i. e. has increased the wheelbase by a good 65 mm.

The result is impeccable stability when leaning into fast curves or when braking thanks to the longer rear end. increased rear wheel contact surface and outstanding road grip provided by the innovative parallelogram front suspension built to an original Piaggio design. Its tilt mechanism is composed of four cast aluminium arms. with four hinges fixed to the central tube and two guide tubes on either side of the parallelogram. connected to the arms via suspension pins and ball bearings. Comfortable and innovative with exceptional performance. the Piaggio MP3 400 i. e. will seduce novice riders as well as seasoned motorcyclists. as it combines enjoyment and ease of use with unprecedented safety.
