Honda NCW50 Metropolitan keeps an estimated 83% of its value after 5 years — #22 of 1005 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Honda NCW50 Metropolitan retains an estimated 83% of its value after five years, ranking #22 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is 18 points above the 65% five-year average for Scooter in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Honda NCW50 Metropolitan sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $2,649 it falls to around $2,209 by year five — a five-year loss near $440, about $0.24 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Honda NCW50 Metropolitan bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
