Peugeot Metropolis Leo Vince Evo 2

OMG. An upload :) we 3-wheel dudes crave this stuff. Missed you. Still on the verge of bying a bike here. And concerned about maintenance. Cheers

Hi Mike - not sure if you already have a 3 wheeler - but maintenance costs are certainly higher than a 2 wheeler, but that's the trade off with better grip etc. I've been a bit unlucky with my Metropolis as I've just had to replace the ECU - out of warranty which has not been cheap to say the least - but that is just one of those things. Bottom line is and i should do a cost of ownership video sometime, if you exclude the ECU - the 20,000 miles and 2.5 yrs of ownership has cost me about £2.2k...But I've not missed a day's travel to work and parking which for me is free (on a motorbike) would cost me at least £100 a month...If I had done those miles on my V-Strom - it would probably have cost me more like £800..But cleaning that through the winter would be a total pain in the butt....

Thank you for an in depth/owners honest opinion! I dont own A 3 wheeler yet, but considering it. I have a somewhat fear about French & Italian brands.... And since i live in Sweden, there is salted roads november-march. £2.2k over 2.5 Y in cost of ownership, thats like 25% of the price brand new! But, as you say, (really) this 3 wheeler is a handy tool for commuters. And I would love the ride.....

Good to see another video from you. How are things going? Still have your MT07?

[@threewheeldiaries9965]

MAXrider Thanks - no have sold that and have a 2017 V-Strom 650 - which suits me much better!

[@SheldonElectricals]

Three Wheel Diaries The V-strom is an interesting looking bike, I have thought about one for doing a bit of touring. I didnt keep my MT07 long either, changed it for an XSR900 after about 8 months. I liked the 07, it just felt a bit like a hooligan machine! I hope you’ll find time to make some V-Strom Vlogs, I would be interested to see them! Ride Safe.

Hey TWD. Nice to see you back after a while away ! Tell me, how's the Metropolis for going up steep hills? Quite hilly round my part of Surrey. Really thinking bout getting one when I can sort out the finances!

[@threewheeldiaries9965]

Simon Wolf - should be good to get up most steepish hills at 60 - but you really need to get a test ride on one.

[@ServusLabskaus]

I was amazed on how well it goes up steep hills, i live close to the Alps, no problems, just great fun!

Nice vid. I just bought a Metropolis 2015. Thinking about buying one of those replica akrapovic exhausts. Any thoughts?

[@paulclarkson1778]

Have you still got a Metropolis, Three Wheel? I've just ordered a 2018 RS. Cheers!

[@andreaariani6564]

Does anyone know if the exhaust connections of the Metropolis 2017 are the same as the latest 2021 model? Thanks.

[@2fast4you25]

Why would you put any inner DB KILLER fffkkk that, even the back one has to come off mate. Your killing the exhaust with all that junk. Why buy a pipe and put all that in, just leave the original one on the bike. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
