Normally you think of three-wheelers, trikes if you will, as something that will not fall over. The difference is that a normal trike has three solidly planted wheels and steers like a car. In the case of the MP3, it uses what Piaggio calls "parallelogram suspension" to allow the two front wheels to lean, just like the single wheel on a normal motorcycle. While the two wheels may move up or down relative to each other, whether you're upright, leaning, going through a curve, the two wheels remain parallel. In fact, Justin said, because it is Italian, it is designed for Italian conditions, and that can mean parking with one wheel up on the curb, as you can see in that photo he shot for me.
Thus you have the best of both worlds: stability and lean.
