Oh yes Ive had the local demonstrator MP3 250 last year for a couple of hours, MAD as a box of frogs, keep promising myself a go on the Fuocco, but dont see myself owning one, like the look of em though, dont understand Phil chopping the Bud in for one either, lovely GTS that, kinda set the bench mark, oh and Smirnoff too of course!

always planned to have a change after 3 years
thought about another gts ,but would have to have bought all the toys again
always liked the mp3 and when the fuoco came out i always fancied one
yes ,it dont look like a scooter
but 3 years ago people told me the gts wasnt a proper scooter |

Im still getting all that, its not a proper scooter malarky now! its a kind of snobbery, I guess, so let em stay rooted in the past with there outdated ideas, and pecking order, ie, GP 200, then SX 200, or TV200, TV 175, and downward from there, I see Goldie quite a bit, up and down the country, he doesnt give a monkeys what people think of his Fuocco, but its not un noticed!!!

This all makes me sad I've never ridden anything else, coz it seems if I had I'd love my MP3 even more!
Aside from the Honda125POS I tested on, on which anything would have been a vast improvement.
Must get myself a cheap geared scoot for a comparison! (once the missus stops moaning about 'other' scooters not being as safe).

if you want a good comparison between an mp3 and a traditional scooter, gaffer tape a bar-stool to a skateboard, find a bloody big hill to roll down, and use your foot as a brake  To be honest (having now tried one) i dread to think how long i'd last 'on' my T5 if i'd been using an mp3 for any length of time? |

Lol. I appreciate it would be a different kind of 'fun' yeah - the skateboard-barstool thing sounds tempting!
