Segment: Trike
Production years: 2008, 2009
The 2009 MY Piaggio MP3 400 is a trike that successfully combines an innovative design, a high-end suspension system, as well as improved safety features. At its heart lies a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single cylinder Master lump mated to a continuously variable transmission, and can produce 34 horsepower and 37 Nm of torque. It comes standard with an electro-hydraulic suspension locking system, which increases rider comfort and cornering abilities, further enhanced by the 40-degree lean angle. Also, it can fit two helmets in an under seat storage area.
