***The Official HONDA RUCKUS Thread***

I probably wouldn't jump into the swap right away. I'd enjoy it as-is for at least a little while. It does seem like a good deal.

Miami is a bit of a hike, but we'll see.

dang, that exhaust is like $400. wtf?

Yea scooter/ bike exhausts are expensive.. Not sure why.

That 50s probably got some life left in it if its been taken care of. I imagine itd live to see 15k, even 20k. I think its hard to gauge what the lifespan of the engine will be

whats the purpose of stretching them? Is it just for looks?

Youll see when you get on one if you're over 5'8

pushing those handlebars out a few inches isnt a bad idea :p

I found another one. Its a lot closer and much lower miles. Same price, but is an '03. Apparently its a few mph slower than the newer models.

I love these things, I keep on thinking I want to buy one. Then I remember I'm 250 lbs and live on the top of a very steep hill, and there are hills inbetween me and town. Sounds like I'd be the fat guy on a scooter going 5mph uphill with pissed off traffic behind me.

Didn't they make a 150cc ruckus? I need to find one of those. I have a motorcycle endorsement so I don't need to stay at 50cc.

The old 250cc ruckus looks lame. I guess I'd have to get a 50cc one then motor swap it.

Looks better than most scooters. And that extra 200cc's is probably really nice.

Get a CDI, itll put it closer to the newer models, add a variator and it should move fine. Or just swap it...

The big ruck is 250cc, but ugly. Do a gy6 with a BB (180cc) swap to a regular ruckus and it should be just about on par with the big ruck and a whole lot prettier (and an aftermarket follwing)

Im not really a fan of the big ruck

Bump.

What do you guys wear when riding? Jeans is not enough, and my chin gets cold. Could use some warmer gloves too
