      Great stuff (again) Sunny..!!


      @all

      Makes me wonder, whether such a vehicle could find a market for itself in India (not a big 500 cc but maybe a lower cc one).. what say guys..??

        Don't know about the manufacturers plans for the 500cc scooter as the costs could be very high for our market to accept. However, I feel a reputed 250cc 'luxury' CVT scooter priced less than a lakh should have a separate market for itself in India. Many people with cars could prefer this for their local city/shopping errands (esp with traffic conjestion/car parking spaces shrinking) as well as for their ocassional commute to work and probably a week-end getaway with spouse to nearby spots. My 2 cents.

              Well Payeng, would love to see a lower cc version for Indian market too. Lets hope it comes soon cos I wanna gift it. But then, by the time it gets launched in India, mein buddha ho ga ye ga yaar.

                I read this review yesterday. One wonderful piece of work. should be a pleasure to ride this.
                This will definitely help the physically challenged passionate bikers also. ( no offenses intended).

                Any idea on the mileage and price. which countries it will be available.

                  Just had a look at the Gilera Website - found that MP3 looks more audible that the Fuocco......

                  And also i got amazed to see MP3 it was so stunning and also some 250cc to 300cc Vespa Scooters.......

                    hey sunny this article comes as a innovation for many of them as the front two wheels are an innovation to the 2 wheeler industry all over the world, the gilera looks a combination of a a silent and fast, but well balanced predator at its first look.

                    I am sure if this bike gets launched with the right price tag i am sure it will be a gud buy as its front dual wheels show that its a well balanced bike not like other 2 wheelers.

                    ALL I CAN SAY ITS DIFFERENT AND SUPERB INNOVATION
