The 2010 MY Piaggio BV Tourer 500 is a maxi-scooter that addresses those riders who want to spend more time in the saddle of their machine, either alone or two-up. It comes standard with a large windshield, a two-up seat with lumbar support for the riders, pillion grab rails, and a comfortable, yet, high-end suspension package, which also improve the cornering abilities of this two-wheeler.
At its heart lies a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 492cc, single cylinder Master powerplant mated to a continuously variable transmission, and can produce 39 horsepower and 43 Nm of torque.
