Well, if Piaggio have released a MP3 350, no-one told Piaggio UK, whose website only includes 300 and 500 versions!!

If other markets have a 350 then its well worth going for. Frightful prices though.

Not a fan of thr 3 wheelers as extra things to go wrong but I enjoyed the yourban 300 thingy when I had one as a loan bike, seemed nicely made and could still filter somewhat.

Is the Tricity 155 available in Malta ?

They seem to be pretty good, with Yamaha reliability and all.

If the engine is the same as the X10 350 ( wet clutch etc.) it will perform very well and also be smooth and quick from rest.

I would go with what Meldrew has said,i'm 79 now,i've had a MP3 250,great ride but far to heavy for me,i have had a Tricity 125 for over 3 years now,the 125cc suits me fine.I think the 155cc is only on sale in the EU,the reason is the 125cc are not allowed on many majar roads in Italy etc.

The 125 looks great value at just less than £4K.
