I just passed 5k on my 250MP3 also and I'm still loving it 
I would love to get just a smidge more oomph as well, so if you get a kit fitted that works well, do let me/us know It's probably not possible to get another 10mph top speed and a little more acceleration as well, but I'm happy to miss that given all the other plusses - it's a top all-rounder, innit.
Anyway, I've already progressed to riding like a maniac - any more power and I'd just hurt myself
Really must get someone to shadow me riding into London and tell me honestly exactly how much of a cock I have become before I hurt myself, or, worse, damage the scoot

Even with the baffle falling out and the dealer refusing to replace it I would still get another - it sounded lovely: not too loud but a good tone.
Hopefully I don't have to get another - Jon has cooked up a new one to try - will hopefully put it together at Mersea.
Yay Jon! There are some lovely people in this club (don't let it get around though - would ruin the hard edge image - actually, strike that - hanging around with me ruins any hard edge image!).

The LV does sound ace, more than a match for the PM with the baffle out.
This is on my GTS but as they are the same engine I'd imagine it sounds the same.
It's not a looker like the PM tho, but is road legal so takes the hassle out of owning it...
