Yep, you got to keep pushing Forward. I'm like you, It's time for me to do me. My Motorcycle Journeys where put on hold for several Years. Audio/Video sound Good. Thanks for the Ride and Inspiration.

I agree and you should move forward. Thanks for the compliments!

That's great! I hope you enjoy it. One tip I'll make to you is to not forget to release the parking break when you take off from the front wheels being locked upright! This is due because when the scooter starts moving, the inertia is enough to keep the scooter from falling; however, if the parking brake is on (which works quite well), the bike don't have enough inertia and will try to fall to one side or the other. Take heed to some of the other riders' tips and you'll enjoy the scooter with no issues. My only fallacy is I need to stop trying to compare it to my Goldwing! Take care and enjoy your MP3!

Hello, thanks a lot for the videos of MP3 530 👍How many litres do you have in your original Piaggio top case? (37lt or 52lt)

[@freddybgoldwinging2605]

I have the smaller one that came with it when I purchased the used scooter.

Remind me of my rides on my mp 3 500 ie sports 2019 that i put 8,000.00 ml on it .i sold it for fear of future mechanical problems in the 2 wheel system in the front . I even put a akropovic muffler . And large top box . Motoshops hated to see me coming . If you have problems with 2 wheel systems in the front good luck in finding a mechanic that knows how to work on it in the USA. Robot from scooter west san diego ca has videos on this . good luck.i have a Suzuki burgman 400 now 2023 . Kawasaki vulcan s .klx 230 dual sport. Been dreaming about new goldwing . Auto or manual ? I preferd manual. But my bikes that i have now are fully paid for . That holds me against goldwing.

Thanks for the tips on the scooter! I used to own two different Suzuki Burgman 650s and loved them! I understand about your not wanting to go into debt by buying a Goldwing. I traded a ST1300 and a Burgman 650 to get my Goldwing. I don’t regret getting the Goldwing but I do miss my Burgman 650. Take care!
