Piaggio MP6 - classic motorcycle

In 1945, was designed and built a new scooter, whose technical name was MP6, which was the true prototype of Vespa.
In May 1946 it was sold, after the required improvements, with the name of azzeccatissimo "Vespa", a success which continues until today.

Vespa V125cc Sei Giorni

Piaggio introduced the Vespa Sei Giorni (Vespa six day) series in late 1951. It was fast and elegant and as its designation suggested was intended to mirror the qualities exhibited by the famed "GT" series of Italian motorcars of the period.

Piaggio MP5 - classic motorcycle

Before the Vespa, Piaggio had a scooter called "Donald Duck" (MP5), manufactured and tested in several versions. Later the project was shelved, and never went into production.

Piaggio MP3 - motor cycle

This is Piaggio MP3 , its performance is not at all bad.

























Piaggio MP3 exceeds the one of some high end scooters, the Piaggio MP3 can lean up to 40° (most scooters can’t go farther than 35°) without compromising safety, grip is very good on twisty streets and roads, it's very stable and its braking capabilities are especially good.
