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.
