    looking for a maxi too fancy a nexus 500 not tried one yet did go on a tmax which was great will hit over a ton and pulls nice and strong all the way dont accelerate as quick as a 172 due to the weight but when riding round at about 50 just open the gas and leave them behind . Tried mp3 250 great fun handles awsome but heavy

    Someone should stick a nexus 500 engine in a runner frame, now that would be mental :w00t:

    the nexus 500 isnt really heartstopping. it will keep up with most mildly tuned 172s off the lights but they didnt impress me at all

    i got a 15 mile test ride in belgium which was cool

    the fuoco is just a shopping trolley, the mp3 is better but why 3 wheels :w00t: an extra one to worry about

    most 250s are good. think its the best engine they do just as quick as the 500 just lower top speed

    you can get the nexus 250, vespa gts 250, derbi gp1 250 etc etc

    Isn't the fuoco basically just the mp3 but with a 500 engine instead of a 250? Just wondering what makes you call the fuoco a shopping trolly and the mp3 better?
