Cool-Motorcycles reviews Honda Scooter Metropolitan 2009

honda-scooter-metropolitan-blue-white

Why does just about everyone who sees a Metropolitan want one? It’s not just for the ruby-red paint or the smart European-derived styling. It’s also for the go-green gas mileage and the fully automatic transmission. This practical-minded mount comes with a feisty 49cc engine that lets you zip around with ease. And while the Metropolitan’s no-nonsense reliability is what you expect in a Honda, its cool style is what makes it hot.

INNOVATIONS
The Metropolitan. Rarely thirsty, always thrifty.
While its thrifty fuel economy gets your attention, the Metropolitan’s overall combination of style and common sense makes it really stand out. Because it’s a Honda, feature after feature requires little or no maintenance, including the automatic cam-chain tensioner and CD ignition system.

Underseat Storage
The Metropolitan features a large underseat storage area big enough for a helmet, your books, or some groceries. The storage area features a lock for added security and is weather-resistant too.

Automatic Transmission
One-speed automatic transmission means no shifting ever—not even into park or neutral. Just turn the key, press the starter button, and go!

Combined Braking System
Activate the rear brake, and CBS automatically adds front braking to help you stop.
