Rah! This'll be the 4th time I've been out here, mostly for CAX or other training. I called Powersports Distro today and they sounded confused when I mentioned CARB certs, and they never returned my call to verify if any of their TaoTao's are certed. Won't be buying from them! Good news is that I've found a scoot that might be more up my alley.
A guy has a 2004 Honda Metro for sale locally, 500 miles for around $1,110. I tried doing research on the bike, but the only bad I could find is that 02-06 models have longevity issues around 6-10k miles due to fuel washing down the cylinder walls and diluting oil over time , ruining the crank bearing. It's apparently caused by a poor crankcase ventilation design or something like that. Are Metros good scoots? Given that it's a Honda and shares much of the same with the Ruckus I'd take it to be a good deal.
