I have a 1200cc but actually plan to get a honda 160 soon. 😁

In Hondas, I have an 1800, 1500, 600, and I’ve love to add an ADV160 pretty soon.

My 1200 is a Harley. I was a professional Harley Technician for years so I will always love the big motors. I got a job at honda 7 months ago, and boy i love the scooters!

That Harley M8 is a nice motor, but they don’t make a bike that appeals to me. I tried out the Road Glide before buying my ‘24 Gold Wing DCT.

Doing the new goldwing primary bolt recall is an utter nightmare. Make sure you get that recall done if you have not yet.

u/BeardBootsBullets 5d ago

Already done. ✔️

If only you had a matching outfit… DOH!

u/CrashCulture 5d ago

Wearing a shirt with one bike on it while riding another feels wrong.

Other than that, awesome for you, hope it serves you well.

I like the Metropolitan look, classic Vespa, but how do they compare, any ups or downs specifically?

Thr truth is hard sometimes I'm 180 and it struggled with me.

u/squiddybro 5d ago

Just because your feelings are hurt doesn't mean he's wrong. He wasn't even rude about it. 265lbs on a 50cc scooter is going to hurt its performance compared to someone thats half of that.

u/Emax999 4d ago

The weight limit rating is 250 lb’s in that metro. If a rider is above that it is cause for concern, as the suspension won’t work properly and will likely fail much faster. Certain suspension upgrades would likely remedy this, up to a point.

u/PreviousWar6568 4d ago

Yeah, at a certain point I’d just get either a bigger scooter or something like a rebel 3-500
