Anybody doing any Winter work on their rides? Anybody know how to make the Metropolitan go 40 like the Metropolitan II? There must be a way to defeat the...
Hey everybody, I'm brand new to this board,.. but I have not yet taken delivery of my Metropolitan. The local dealer tells me it might be as long as March or...
We had oodles of them this past summer up here in Wisconsin. Honda loaned about 100 to the Experimental Aircraft Association last year for their big fly in....
The Metropolitan goes 40. The Metropolitan II goes 25. The metropolitan II was made to go slower so it could be legally classified as a "moped" in some states....
yay!!!! My scooter arrived FINALLY! Wow I was afraid I would have to wait til March or April. It's so cool! I love the Yellow color! Anyway just wanted to...
I am glad I found some sort of group. I plan on getting it today after several months wait. The dealer here had a hard time locating one so I had to find one...
We have a pair of the light blue and white Metro II's and they're a hoot! We went with the Metro II's so we didn't need a motorcycle license here in...
In under an hour I will have it I just got the call. Some dealers here said both were legal some said they were not oh well either way I am on the way. ... We ...
I got it and I love it so does every one that has seen it. I got the hang of it in no time. Its hard to get past 25 on the roads here that little extra boost...
Hey There! I don't know about the snow, but we've been pinned down with heavy rain for about two weeks......I'm dying to get my Metro back out again. I've...
I purchased my 'Solar' colored Metropolitan about 8 days ago,here in Arkansas.I have generally enjoyed it so, but my landlady said that needed to be parked in...
I assume that means either you need to pay extra for the parking space or something. Maybe you lock it up to a tree or something so it doesn't disappear...
It weighs about 165 pounds dry. The scooter comes with a couple of built-in anti-theft methods, and to deter most thieves I added a 9-ft braded chain(covered...
I am curious, did any of you out there who bought a soler metro also get the matching helmet? The reason I'm asking is because my local dealer tells me the...
Hi there everyone. I am considering buying a Honda Metropolitan (the non-moped version) as a second scooter. I already have a Honda Silverwing and love it for...
We've got a pair of Metropolitan II's and they top out at about 25 MPH, straight and level...downhill I can reach about 35...probably more off a cliff ;) Even...
Hi there! I ride a 2002 Metropolitan and my top speed is 40mph (after the break-in period, of course). I ride my scoot in Chicago and rarely have any speed...
Thanks for the info on the speed. I think 40 mph will suit me just fine as well. I just wanted to make sure that wasn't just a sales pitch. I saw the...
Grant, The Metropolitan II will not go over 25mph without some serious undoing of all the changes they made to restrict the engine. The older Metropolitan...
We're talking about the Metropolitan not the Metro II. I drive a Metropolitan and my top speed is 40 mph. I haven't heard of anyone being able to de-restrict...
Hidy folks. Yes the Metropolitan does in fact do 40. I ride one as well. I actually enjoy my scoot. I have about a 5-8 mile commute to work that it sees...
I am not even close to qualified to give a real answer on this, but here are some general thoughts. There are several key ways to increase the speed of a...
I got lucky when I purchased a metro I called around and found all except one dealer that would sell me a metro 1 as a moped the other one that did not think...
I picked up my Metropolitan today. It is a blast. I settled on the Juice (Orange) color which looks much better in person than on the Honda web site I must...
I came in at 108 mpg on my first tank if gas on the Metropolitan. I couldn't believe it. Amazing! Honda should be bragging the hell out of these things as a...
