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.
Manufactured in February of 2006, this example is VIN: JH2AF600X6K402862.
The odometer shows 1,629 miles.
Our friend Kevin Erion was given this by Honda to use as a pit bike during AMA racing. It was last used in this capacity in 2011.
Cosmetic Blemishes:
It is missing the mirrors.
The tire date codes are 0105 and 0206. The sidewalls are cracking.
In preparation for the listing, Steve the Professor cleaned the carb and installed a new Yuasa YTX7-BS battery.
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.
