Please Note: this bike was listed last week, however the winning bidder changed his mind and did not follow through on his commitment to buy. He has been banned from participating in future auctions and we are relisting this Metropolitan so that it can find a new home!
The Honda CHF50 was known by many names across the world depending on the market: Jazz, Crea, Scoopy, and in the US – Metropolitan. The US first got it in 2002 and it’s been a popular option that’s still offered today.
Honda calls it “the European-style scooter engineered to embody American practicality,” with a 4.9 horsepower 50cc that returned over 90 miles per gallon. Wet weight was just 176 pounds.
This example is VIN: AF551049049. It was originally built for a market outside of the US.
The odometer shows 2,240 kilometers (1,391 miles).
Our friend Kevin Erion was given this as part of a package of scooters by Honda to use as pit bikes during AMA racing.
Maintenance:
Prior maintenance history is not known. In preparation for this listing, we installed a new battery and gave the bike a detail. Alex did the work, he recommends an oil change and new tires as it is currently equipped with the original Kenda tires from 2001.
Modifications:
Erion Racing livery and stickers.
Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here’s a selection of the most severe:
It is missing the mirrors.
The sale includes three keys.
Currently located at our facility in Santa Monica, California (please make an appointment for an inspection), this Honda is offered on a Bill of Sale only. Have any Metropolitan stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the comments!
