My Grandpa Bought A New Bike..Err Scooter?

My grandpa has been riding for a long time, owned lots of bikes, and restores old Cushman scooters. He had some health issues over the last couple of years and his BMW that he bought a few years back was just too heavy of a bike for him anymore to ride daily. He sold it and bought a Piaggio MP3 500. I have never heard of them before but I looked them up and I have to say that they look pretty damn cool. I would definitely sport one. Here is a review from motorcycle.com and the thing looks like it can carve right through the twisties with no problem(except for the stand dragging a bit). It looks pretty wild and it seems like it has some pretty good performance for what it is. I'm hoping he lets me take it out for a spin once I get a chance to stop by and check it out.

Can you find 1.85$ on that thing?

500, meh, might be able to find about 0.95$ after a few minutes of WOT,

I could find 1.10$ on my SilverWing and that was a 600. :scooter:
