== Overview ==
Piaggio MP3 400ie























Levels of safety and roadholding
that would be impossible with a two-wheeler, matched with power and verve
delivering pure fun and maximum riding enjoyment: these are the unbeatable
characteristics that have made the Mp3 such a brilliant success.

The technically revolutionary
three-wheel layout with two front wheels is the basis of the extraordinary
success of the Mp3, a scooter unlike anything else in the world which, with
its innovative design with two independently sprung and tilting wheels
redefined the very concept of dynamic stability.

This winning formula - as proven
by over 100,000 Mp3 scooters sold worldwide - has, over the years, spawned a
multitude of different versions and spec levels to cater for the needs of
every possible user. These include the Mp3 Hybrid, the world's first scooter
with parallel hybrid drive and plug-in technology, and the Mp3 Yourban,
which offers the exceptional stability and safety of the Mp3 in a vehicle
conceived for urban use and simplicity.

The Mp3 Touring brings
completely revised looks and functionality to the most "classic" version of
Mp3 while retaining the exceptional comfort, space and load capacity that
have made the scooter a firm favourite for thousands of users all over the
world.

There is also a new and more
extensive choice of engines: the new Mp3 Touring is available with the
classic 125, 300 and 400 engine sizes, which are now joined by an all-new
500cc version offered in "Sport" and "Business" spec levels.

Model Highlights


Design

The evolved styling of the new
Mp3 Touring is immediately evident at first glance. While retaining a
distinct resemblance with the rest of the Mp3 family, the new Touring boasts
a new honeycomb front grille and a satin-finish centre moulding in the front
shield.

The design of the windscreen is
also completely new and offers even more protection than before. The new
windscreen is adjustable, with three different settings: the gap between the
top fairing and the windscreen splits the air flow into two parts, directed
over and under the windscreen itself to eliminate turbulence at mid and high
speeds.

The new design of the top
fairing has also freed up space for a practical storage pocket with three
compartments under the windscreen.
Other new features are the hand
grips, with improved grip and ergonomics, the silver color finish of the
wheels, and the saddle, which is now upholstered with new materials and
enhanced with relief stitching. The Touring retains the same class-beating
features of the Mp3 in terms of comfort and functionality, such as the
large, ergonomic rear grab handle with integrated backrest, and the luggage
compartment, accessible from under the saddle and from the rear hatch, with
a record-breaking 65 Litres

of load capacity and the ability to accommodate
objects up to 1 metre in length!


Engines

Piaggio Mp3 Touring is offered
with a comprehensive range (125, 300, 400 and 500 cc) of 4-stroke, liquid
cooled engines with electronic injection.
The Piaggio Mp3 Touring 400ie is
driven by the powerful and reliable, 4-stroke, 4-valve, liquid cooled and
electronically fuel injected 400 cc engine, producing an impressive 34 hp at
7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 37.6 Nm at 5,500 rpm.

Technology

Riding the Piaggio MP3 is an
experience that revolutionises the very concept of mobility, with the dual
wheeled front suspension system ensuring levels of stability in curves far
superior to any normal scooter. At speed, and even when riding behind other
vehicles, the Piaggio MP3 Touring stays glued to the road and always
delivers maximum performance in total safety. The benefits of the three
wheel revolution can be felt particularly on wet roads and in other riding
conditions that are critical for conventional two-wheelers.
On city and urban streets, Piaggio MP3 is unrivalled in terms of safety:
cobblestones, poor surfaces, tramlines and manhole covers are dispatched
with previously unattainable ease and stability.

Measuring no more than a maxi
scooter and boasting incredible agility, the Piaggio MP3 Touring is
completely at home in the city centre. It is also remarkably easy to park,
as the electrohydraulic front suspension hold system keeps the vehicle
upright without using the stand.

The revolutionary Piaggio MP3
boasts incredibly short braking distances unmatched by anything else in the
scooter world: the powerful triple disc brake system and the incredible grip
of the front end ensure stopping distances 20% shorter than the best
performing scooter in critical grip conditions.
When the road leaves the town
behind, the Piaggio MP3 really shows what it is made of. Road holding,
cornering safety and lean angle unattainable for conventional scooters
guarantee immense riding satisfaction on fast country roads.


Colours

The 125, 300 and 400 versions of
the new Piaggio Mp3 Touring are available in four metallic colours - Cosmo
Black, Orione Grey, Midnight Blue and Antares Red
