The sporty nature, evidenced by its “Sport” badge on the rear part of the tail, is further emphasised by the matt black of the exhaust protector and passenger handgrips whilst the carbon look hydrographics on the central tunnel and button panel of the rear shield also speak to its no-nonsense character.

Unique and absolutely distinctive, right down to its rear gas shock absorbers and set of waveform front brake discs, the MP3 500 Sport hpe cuts a swathe through traffic with grit and determination.

Last but not least its five colour variations leave no doubt that this bike is not for the faint-hearted with its choice of black, grey and green in matt, and white and pastel green in a glossy finish.
