You can read the full article at Motorcycle.com.

Scooter of the Year: 2009 Piaggio MP3 400/500 ie
“For the uninitiated, the MP3 is Piaggio’s three-wheeled scooter line with two wheels up front. The revolutionary parallelogram front end uses an automobile-like double-wishbone aluminum suspension system supporting two independent steering columns that allows it to lean like a proper motorcycle. The result is a fuel-injected scooter that brings along another contact patch for new-rider safety as well as salty-dog giggles. On the right canyon road, it’s like skiing through the trees, holding your line with your outside foot (wheel) instead of your inside leg’s ski edge. Back and forth is wicked fun, like skiing a giant slalom run. At booger-picking speeds, like when maneuvering in a parking lot, a rider feels the added balancing help of the third wheel. The 400 i.e. is the more economical and practical version, with more underseat storage, but the 500 turns us on for its capability of busting a ton on the speedo and while getting more than 50 mpg.”

Honorable Mention: 2010 Vespa GTS 300 Super
“Also from the Piaggio Group is the recent Vespa GTS 300. It includes the curvaceous Italian styling that has made Vespa a legend in the scooter world, plus it’s the biggest, fastest, Vespa ever made. New riders would be well advised to go easy on the light-action throttle for the first few rides, as the GTS can whisk you away with a surprising pace in near silence and considerable grace. In Fonzie’s upcoming review, he calls it “the invisible hooligan.”

The GTS 300 is the badest scoot on the street, classic style, with a power punch. I look forward to the curves on the road to race with motorcycles. Don’t know much about the MP3 line, but I do know Piaggio is making good quality products, quality next to the best in the motorcycle biz.
