Honda scooters anyone?

Now that's awesome! That'll save you on gas and mileage! ...on a tangent, it reminds me of when I bought my niece a gas powered Razor a year ago for x-mas....but, I think the only one using it is my brother-in-law....

....anyway, I'm sure it's comforting to know that you have your Boxster as your weekend car! Enjoy!

I work for Honda as a Sales Rep and the Metropolitan gets over 100 mpg. It is also liquid cooled, electric start w/ manual back up, and a great all around scooter. There are 2 models of it as well. There was a Metropolitan 2 that we made a couple of years ago, that is a much slower unit. Make sure you get the Metropolitan 1, which is a little faster.

I don't think that Honda makes the Metro 2 anymore,at least it's not listed on their website.

How fast does the Metro go?

How expensive are parts?

Would you buy one yourself?

Blink don't do it !

Scooter are like fat chicks, fun to ride as long as your friends don't see you on one

I think this is much more your style :

Nice bike Nick,

Why are you selling it? Are you getting a new one? I always wanted one but I think I will kill myself on one.... seen way too many nasty outcomes in my line of work.

If you stay at 49cc life is much simpler and cheaper in CA. See below.

Good luck.
