2018 Piaggio LIBERTY 150i 3V not for me

Post by fish »

Piaggio marketing guys said the IBIS Red "S" model of the new 2018 LIBERTY 3V is for the younger, sporty rider....like this
Image

The more mature rider is to select from less stimulating colors of the standard, non-S models, like this fellow did...
Image

Image

There are 4 small differences in the livery....
But I wanted the IBIS Red "S" model, with less black - and more snap!
So, I did this. Got my IBIS and the chrome, too!
Image

Image

All are original Piaggio parts.
Sort of...

That's the biggest O'L honking headlight BULB I've ever seen. I can see it! What kind of lums do we get with that?

Speaking of the light bulb do you get any glare on the windscreen from the headlight at all?

Nice machine. . .. 8)

Headlight glare-back was monstrous. ...I fixed it with a rubber edging...and notified scootetwest. They were getting complaints with this Piaggio screen on this Piaggio. Gave them the size and ebay item no.
You can see the edging around bottom of screen. A silver grey rubber edging of correct dimensions is future search.

Me too. Wish Honda USA would sell an updated 150-250cc ABS step-throufh scooter like this at $3000 / $3500.
Sadly, Honda has no serious interest in further USA scooter sales.
Can't really blame them...Americans don't buy scooters.
Thank my stars Piaggio brought this one over - at a crazy low price.
Amazing scooter for the $$. Already heard that Piaggio is thinking they need to raise the price.

Well, but the fuel consumption and the quality of Piaggio will make you cry especially compare with Honda especially after one or two years ride....even Piaggio claimed they've enhanced the fuel consumption system....
