They're cool little retro-looking scooters with Honda build and reliability. Great runaround scooter.

Honda does make a great little scooters

4:25, that’s a hook for plastic grocery bags. Pretty cool.

NOT the same engine as the Ruckus. Bore/Stroke is 39.5mm x 40.3mm. Ruckus is 37.8mm x 44.0mm Both are liquid cooled. Incidentally, MSRP is $2649 (in California) and they are not exactly selling like hot cakes. I got mine 05/23/24 for $3111 out the door. Scooter, tax, registration, fees etc. Local dealer was looking for $800 Additional Dealer Markup. I asked if I could get some of the stuff he was smoking but he declined.

I love your reply to the dealer. I was looking for a new Honda back in the end of 2022. The dealer offered me 7% loan. I said nope that wouldn't do, you gotta lower it to 4 or 5 (that I would get from a bank, or less if smaller banks). He walked back and forth and each time lowered it by 0.1%. Plus told me there's gonna be a $10k mark up. I laughed in his face and walked out. Got a new used car for a much better value.

I’ve been riding since I was eight! Everything between a Honda Z50 and a Valkyrie.. I’m 59 and now own a 24’ ADV 160 and love it. Would love to own a Ruckus also.

A Rukus is stupid. Its a stripped down Metropolitan It does however have better headlights.

That's impressive for a light ride! I can see the reason for your strong support. G

Those are so cute. Perfect for single riding.

Depending on what state you live in. In Maryland just a just the drivers license or a scooter permit and it takes no tag. It’s just a little sticker.

I was going to buy one of these last spring.. Then I sat on one. The handlebars hit me in the knees when barely turning them. Dream crushed…lol

Thanks Dan. Looks more like an $1800 machine to me. Can't see spending over $3000 for this. Nice short review, just the same.😊 Gord

@@slowridersmotovlog201 Yes, Dan... it's too bad because spendable income just isn't where it used to be in years past. They are preventing new young riders from getting into the sport. The manufacturers are cutting off their future with this kind of marketing. They should be doing the opposite so that they get new young riders that, as the grow, will be willing to spend more on a bigger bike in the future. Gord

You get what you pay for This metropolitan can be passed to numerous generations.

No room for my legs on the Giorno! Way too small for me-no way to steer!

Do you like it more than the Honda ruckus? Which model is better

The ruckus feels more comfortable but the speed is the same. I definitely like the retro style of the scooter.
