2018 Piaggio Medley. Beautiful to ride and hopefully will continue to do so for a long time. If I remember correctly, Stig mentioned that the battery in his Piaggio was small and I was surprised when I saw the Medley's small battery. It is hidden in a small section behind the back of the glovebox and I might see if there is a more powerful one available in its size, but apart from that all is good.

I`m not familiar with the Medley. How many cc s?.
-
Oh, very nice Paul!
125 or?
As i understand it, the Medley is a step up from the Liberty. For example, it looks like you have front and rear disc brakes - as the Liberty has a rear drum. (I see two sight holes for brake fluid levels)
ABS, front & rear - yes?
Can we see its rear end?
And first time you remove the bucket, a pic of the engine?
Being nosey - since your scoot is not offered in the States - price of a Liberty 150i vs this Medley in your country?
Pretty scooter - well done we'll be needing reg. reports and pix, please!
Stig.

Very nice! ;)
-
Congrats on the new scoot!
-
It is 150cc and produces 11 kw, has 2 channel ABS brakes and start and stop idle (which I have turned off). I will attach a few pages from the Medley sales brochure so you can get some more info. As usual, click on the photos to enlarge.

Very nice scoot, congratulations!
-
Anything extra on your "S" model....other than the zoomy stripes?😊
Thanks for the pix - can't remember the last time I saw a salrs brochure for any two wheeler! Impressed!

Stig, I don't think it is anything mechanical, just a little bling with the colors.
Thanks for all replies guys, appreciated.

Looks like the same as the Liberty, just a blackout of chrome treatment. http://www.piaggio.com/en_EN/models/medley-range/piaggio-medley/piaggio-medley-S-150-abs/ (http://www.piaggio.com/en_EN/models/medley-range/piaggio-medley/piaggio-medley-S-150-abs/)

Well, no, many differences over the Liberty - the Medley has 2" longer wheelbase, rear disc brake, twin rear shocks, front & rear ABS, liquid cooling, more HP , one more valve, start-start, external fuel cap, etc.
The Medley is the upscale scoot a step above the Liberty.
Sadly, it is not offered here in the USA.
Seems to be a really nice scooter. Perhaps positioned between the Liberty and the lovely BV350!

You missed my point. They are the same in differences between the standard and S models in blackout, not that the two different scoots are the same.

Paul,
Good morning!
What is the price difference there, between your Medley and the Liberty150i?
Curious here...

Interesting - the GB site lists no 150's, and the Australian site lists no Liberty's of any size!
The world market is a puzzle to me.

We almost never the the 150s in the UK on account of the learner legal market being 125cc :(

Learners in Australia can ride any motorcycle that is LAMS (Learner Approved Motorcycles) and that deals with the power to weight ratio mainly. Years ago it use to be you could only have up to a 250cc motocycle for a learner but now there are so many more choices available. Some bikes have their engines restricted just for this. example:https://www.peterstevens.com.au/new-bikes/brand/kawasaki-ninja-650l-lams-abs-2016.html (https://www.peterstevens.com.au/new-bikes/brand/kawasaki-ninja-650l-lams-abs-2016.html)

In Ohio you can walk in and take written road rules test (nearly impossible to fail)....then ride home on your 115hp Yamaha YZF-R6 bike with a permit.
Later you take a riding test - unless you've already killed yourself with the permit.
If you pass that - you'll have to face a "read line 6 please, which side do you see a red dot" test every couple of years. But the cool thing is you'll never again have to prove you can ride, or drive, safely again as long as you live.
Insurance?? "Tell us you have some. OK?"
Takes a dozen or more drunk driving convictions to jeopardize your freedom. Many just keep on driving after it's taken away - or in some States, buy a 50cc scoot and build a 60mph screamer to get back out there.
A great country in some respects - but a lousy road use system.

That's terrifying
