Just got back from a motorsports dealer with a brand new Honda Metropolitan. Check it out!   The dealer is 18 miles from my house. Wanna know how I know that? This is how.  I must confess, it's not mine. It's my mom's, but still! It even matches my Triton ;D |

Nice. So what's your impression after 18 miles... or did your mom ride it home?

Nice. So what's your impression after 18 miles... or did your mom ride it home? I rode it for the first 13 miles  It's alright, actually. Makes barely any noise at all, even in the higher RPM's. Barely does 30 uphill though. I didn't want to rev it up too much, being brand new and all. Very nice. I'll take my Triton any day though  |

Is it a 4 or 2 smoke?
Looks nice, but I sure I prefer my ''modern'' styled scoots, for legroom if anything.

You think my mom is gonna let me hop up her brand new scooter? And it's a 4 stroker. 100 mpg all day long, just like the other 2 we've owned prior. |

Smiles per gallon would go up though.  Nah. She told me right before she bought it that she "doesn't want to go 60 MPH on something that small" And when I told her it's more fun the smaller the scooter is, she said "That's something only a guy would say" |

yeah i would sooner do 60 mph on my scooters then 100 on my xs1100
any one can ride a big bike fast but it takes a man to ride a scooter fast

That's a pretty sick color combo, IMO.

Maybe the scoot doesn't seem so small to me just cuz I'm small, so I don't mind going 60 :rofl:

yes they are small but quite nimble and kinda nice to ride if your a smaller type person. my wife loves her 07 metro. its been derestricted and it'll run an easy 45 with my big ass on it.
