I have had all types of bikes from a Goldwing to dirt bikes. I presently have a Honda Sabre 1100 and a Ducati Monster. But I have to say, riding around on a scooter is like magic. It is like you are on vacation having a blast but you are in your home town. The Metro runs well and right out of the gate will do 39mph. Good brakes and storage is a plus. I was worried about leg room but that is not a problem once you are underway. I would not venture onto major highways since you really can't get out of traffic easily but for secondary roads and around town, this is really the way for American's to learn how to travel cheaply and with environmental benefits over the 4,000lb SUV's. It just so happens to be a ton of fun too. It costs $18,000 less than most Harley's. So far, everyone has told me they need one of these scooters too. People crane their necks to see what you are driving at stop lights. And everyone has to ask what you have when you get off at a store or restaurant. So far, the Metro is fun and based upon the other reviews, my family can save money at 40mph and 100mpg. Nice machine Honda!!
