Bart Madson Managing Editor Motousa.com reported that, The BV now sports distinctive 20-spoke wheels, the front 16-inch dimensions unchanged. A larger 300mm rotor adorns the single disc front braking package, with floating two-piston calipers. A single 240mm disc also makes use of two-piston caliper in the rear. Suspension units are a 35mm fork and dual rear shock, with the rear offering four-position preload adjustment.
The front end styling is swoopier than before. The dimensions are stretched as well, with the wheelbase 2.5 inches longer than the 250 version at 60.4. Piaggio touts a fully-redesigned underseat storage space, which now includes a courtesy light, document compartment and a claimed 50% more capacity.
A wide array of accessories will be available, with the new BV expected in the same timeframe as the MP3 city. MSRP is to be determined with the current BV 250 retailing for $4899.
