Looks like someone tacked the back of an X10 onto the front of an mp3.

the reincarnation of the 500cc master engine, the group still using the same master engine (except bigger piston etc) as i had in the nexus 500 2004 the variator and cvt setup is exactly the same.. i suppose it saves on re tooling etc the x10 500 uses the same set up too, dont get me wrong, its a strong work horse :D
I cant seem to remember.. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

I also admire three wheelers, not had a go on one yet, I wonder if any of the big four japanese will ever make one around 500cc??? Id defo be interested in one if honda made one. Ive also heard about lots of problems with the running gear on piaggio, shame as they are really nice.
Im not a gynecologist, but I dont mind taking a look.

I agree with Meldrew ,i was on the verge of buying one but the bad rep by owners with so many quality issues did put me off .That said i did ride one and enjoyed it and my main issue was space between knees and cowling was too cramped and it felt very under powered to me .With regards to the new version which has supposedly addressed that issue . I do hope the traction control is not the same as what they fitted to the newer srv`s as IMHO its awful and a waste of time ,i turned it off as it was always interfering with the ride and un nerving at times .

Have you seen the Tricity?

Only a 125 at present - but I bet they end up making bigger ones. :)

I'd guess 2016 (if ever) & more than a Dacia Sandero

I too was living in hope that Honda would bring out a 400/500 cc 3 wheeler, I would buy one without question. I fear that it will be a long time coming. So it looks like an MP3 will have to suffice.
I really do like the look of this new 500. I've been wanting to go back to a 3 wheeler ( the Yourban is underpowered) and with the extra safety features over and above what the old Fuoco had ( and that was good) this one might be the last scooter I buy. Famous last words :D
