Description:

Piaggio Mp3 300 Yourban- It’s called Yourban and the family is the latest MP3. Will arrive in dealerships in February, where alongside the current model range, traditional than MP3 will have a lower price (yet to be confirmed, but the order of 500 dollars less). It will be available in displacements of 125 cc and 300. We tried to preview the test track at Piaggio, with increased airspace. Before I tell you how it goes, however, the present. As the name suggests, this is a version dedicated to the city. The Yourban is more agile and lighter than MP3-known volumes was less important and has been completely redesigned. Appears slender and less “dead serious”, but retains a compartment large enough to accommodate two full face helmets jet.

On the move stands out the sensation of agility, especially in slow speed maneuvers such as slalom between obstacles, the new three-wheel is much quicker to follow the movements of the rider than MP3 “standard”. Bend, curve and got up of course, with immediacy similar to that of a traditional scooter (with the great advantages of the grip offered by the double front tire). In short, when the MP3 improves traditional shows a little awkwardly in traffic. Given this attitude of most citizens, the Yourban is less at ease when his brother away from the city, despite being more readies a thread-level engine: less comfortable and protective, it also has a load capacity less.
