At first glance it looked like just a swish motorbike, with fairings, etc.

Then I did the proverbial double-take, and stepped back two paces to have another look.

Very interesting, so I shall go and google...........


Edit......it would seem it is a Piaggio MP3 and has been around for ages!

The photo wouldn't embed.

Plus you don't have to wear a crash helmet.

It's true, just don't ask about seatbelts, the legislation seems designed to be incomprehensible.
