I'm thinking of picking up a 07' or 08' Honda Metropolitan. It's listed at over $1.9k on Honda's website.
Anyone here use a scooter as an alternatives means of transportation? How much MPG should I expect? I've seen other scooters pull in 80+ MPG,but Honda doesn't list it on their website.
How is insurance on these compared to cars? Less or more?
Any members in CA gone to a Motorcycle License class? How much do those run?
Do you recommend any other scooters? I need something that is reliable and I can get it serviced locally. |
Getting a MC license involves:
A written test that gets you a permit.
Later, a road test at DMV. You can waive the road test if you do the Motorcycle Safety Course, which I would recommend.
I forget the cost, it is on the DMV website.
