I love it. The scoot in that last pic has a '49RR' painted on the side. :lmao

alain,
guess there's sort of a sub culture of these and other scooters. since rudy got his, we've found out all kinds of things about them. guys are customizing them, modifying the engine, etc. rudy has already removed a restrictor plate from the carb base. went from about a 3/8" diameter to a 1" diameter and he says it really made a difference. think he's going to do an exhaust next.
you can go to and get a lot of info on different...

This is crazy....Yesterday at work in the motorcycle parking area there was one of these Metropoliteans. A teal and white. As I pull out of the parking lot this little scooter is pulling out behind me. This little bugger then gets ahead of me leads me all the way to my home street and keeps going on. So this guy works with me (?) and leaves near my home. I gotta meet this guy and find out more about this little scooter of his. Small world.

Nice scoot! My wife and I each have 150cc scoots and we ride them when we go camping. She also takes hers to town and rides it locally, if she isn't doing any serious shopping. We had some 50cc yamaha's and they were fun, but found them a little too puny for real roads.. Congratulations on the nice scoot!

fred,
good point...i'm just waiting for rudy to put some ducati emblems on it

al,
i can say rudy has a BIG grin on his face while riding it, but i feel it's something he'll get tired of pretty quickly. he's been "pampering" it much like he did his ducati. truth be told, i believe he's still a little shaken by the accident and maybe this is his way of...

I loved my Honda Helix scooter. It would go 70mph two-up and was still light and nimble. I believe it would corner better than my Wing. I wish that I had kept it.

Why do you suppose these scooters looks like so much fun? They always leave me with the impression that they are so much less "formal" than a motorcycle and that owning one and riding it is just for fun.

Bud,

Is a Metropolitan Ducati's foray into the scooter market?

many of you may remember rudys accident on his ducati last year when a trash truck crossed two lanes in front of him and totaled his bike. he never replaced it, bought a used porsche boxster instead. but he calls the other night and wants me to go look at a honda metropolitan with him....
