Metropolitan

With the coolest color schemes you’ll ever see, the Metropolitan is hip and fun to ride–not to mention easy to operate and economical to own.

 

Features & Benefits

New for 2007

– Colors include Sapphire, Ruby, Pink Hibiscus and Purple Kanji.

 

Unique features

– Efficient four-stroke engine consumes substantially less fuel and produces significantly lower exhaust emissions than a comparable two-stroke engine.

– Automatic Honda V-Matic transmission allows speeds up to 40 mph.

– Combined Braking System (CBS) provides excellent stopping power.

– Lightweight, sturdy aluminum chassis is recyclable and contributes to the Metropolitan®’s maneuverability and excellent fuel economy.

– Lockable underseat compartment offers nearly 22 liters of storage capacity.

– Lockable centerstand deters unauthorized use.

 

Engine/Drivetrain

– Lightweight 49cc four-stroke OHC liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine provides ample power for in-town riding.

– Fuel-sipping constant-velocity (CV) carburetor with automatic choke.

– Maintenance-free solid-state CD ignition system.

– Simple push-button electric starter.

– Starter system utilizes the engine’s brushless alternator (ACG) for starting, eliminating the need for a separate starter motor. This simple design requires no maintenance and lowers overall weight for even better fuel economy.

– Solid-state ECU provides control for ignition timing, alternator regulator, ACG/starter, electric fuel pump and automatic choke.

– Lightweight, maintenance-free, magnetically driven water pump eliminates the need for mechanical seals.

– Compact engine-mounted radiator has aluminum fins for optimal cooling in all riding conditions.

– Electromagnetic fuel pump is located in the fuel tank under the Metropolitan’s floor and contributes to the excellent storage space under the seat.

– Automatic cam-chain tensioner requires virtually no maintenance.

– Ultra-quiet exhaust system.

– Automatic Honda V-Matic belt-drive transmission provides spirited acceleration and requires virtually no maintenance.

 

Chassis/Suspension

– Two-piece, die-cast-aluminum chassis provides an optimum balance of light weight and rigidity for excellent handling.

– Twin-downtube fork front provides 1.9 inches of plush travel for a well-controlled ride.

– Single-side aluminum swingarm with single-shock rear suspension has 2.6 inches of travel for a compliant, comfortable ride.

– Front and rear drum brakes offer predictable, powerful stopping power.

– The Metropolitan’s CBS brakes provide added control when slowing or stopping. Rider application of the front-brake lever activates the front brake in conventional fashion. Application of the rear-brake lever mounted on the left handlebar, activates the rear-brake and the front brake together; when only the rear brake lever is used, a proportioning mechanism gradually applies the front brake.

– High-grip, high-mileage tires.

 

Additional Features

– Well-padded seat boasts a low 28.3-inch seat height for added confidence at stops.

– Underseat storage compartment with 22-liter capacity holds groceries or a full-face helmet.

– Instrumentation includes analog speedometer, odometer, analog fuel gauge and indicator lights for coolant temperature and low/high beams.

– Audible turn-signal indicator.

– Parking brake.

– Key-operated ignition lock has an integrated trunk-release switch. By pushing in the key, the rider can easily unlock the spacious storage compartment under the main seat.

– Centerstand locking lever located inside the underseat storage compartment discourages unauthorized use.

– Rear hand grip.

– Helmet holder locks helmet in place under seat.

– Shopping-bag holder.

– Backup kickstarter.

– Twin-filament headlight with 35-watt low/high beam provides ample nighttime illumination.

– Maintenance-free battery.

– Fuel-cap design allows easy removal.

– Handlebar switches and controls use internationally approved ISO graphic symbols.
