While at Marco Island last month I saw both machines and like both too. Piaggio stopped importing MP3's to the USA as they did not sell well for the price. Just found a dealer with a 2008 "like new" 250cc re-cate that he says may have been a demonstrator and was found in the main warehouse. He is asking over $3k for it. Reading posts on this somewhat complicated machine I see where there have been recalls on certain parts and other issues that appear to require self knowledge and self tinkering which I don't want to get into. Plus fluids, seals and filters that could be a problem down the road as it, 2008, has been sitting for 6 years somewhere,.....?
Since I am long retired, I only want a machine for local errands and fun rides, I am leaning toward the Ruckus that would be new, and simple to operate with less moving parts and less than half the weight. Plus it's a trusted Honda! And I have Honda cars and a truck that never had after market issues!
plus I don't need an "M" license for a 49cc Ruckus in my state.
Comments please,......even though I am 75+% sure which machine I like best for simplicity and trustworthiness.....
