Much to my shock and horror, my wife expressed interest in buying a Honda Metropolitan last summer. We went to go look at one and I took it for a spin. It's actually a great little ride, just get used to the fact that it doesn't have a lot of power. Still, you can hold your own on most city streets. She uses it to commute from Brighton to Kendall Square and it takes about a half an hour with stop and go traffic. Taking the T is over an hour.
Check craigslist for a cheap used one. |

Supposedly there's a couple of simple mods you can do to the Metro to get more power out of it. Restrictor plates and such. |

Restrictor plates and such. same with the Vespas too... you can get a cylinder kit and make it a 70cc... for around $200 or so, i think.... with the restrictor plates... i think there's something about completely removing them that can screw up your shit.. i think they're supposed to be filed down instead...

Actually, now that I thin kabout it, how to the new Vespas shift?
Are the clutch & shifter still all on the left grip? I don't think I've been close enough to any new ones to see. |
