Seems canada doesnt have the 150 yet, they're still stuck with the 125cc bikes, then again, it isnt really special, they only have 2 colors for their metro's
And they add ugly dot signals on the back

My dealer got 1 of every color in 2 weeks ago. He only has the tangerine left today.
As we pulled up a women was just leaving on a seafoam. She had a wicker basket on the back.. which just so happened to be holding a small brown dog. It actually looked like it had a seatbelt on..

They have 4 Metro colors on
their Canadian site, but not the one in the image you posted! Where'd that come from?

The metro 50cc are similar to the US colors, but that pink is different! And the black isnt as glossy as the US, more of a sporty black. But all these are only 50cc, the "italia" and "red and white" come in 125cc only. Quick panel switch should do the job

I took my first on road ride today.

I had been practicing in a big parking lot near my house. After a lovely dinner from my bf's grandparents, I decided to give it a shot.
I remembered my turn signals and watched carefully at intersections. I kept up with the flow of traffic and felt a little less nervous. The roads back to my apartment are 55mph with tons of hills and curves. I stopped about half way because I didnt realize how exhausting it was. (about 15 miles from grandparents to apt) It was so worth it! Benny handled like a pro and responded so well!
It then started to pour as soon as I got home

Hopefully this wont be an all week kind of storm!
