yeah freeway makes that a no go.

Just ordered a bunch of stuff for the ruck

did you buy more stuff than when we last talked or are you just telling r3v what you bought that I already know about?

Meh, Seattle is just as hilly, if not worse. Plan routes accordingly and you should be golden. ( a few mods would help of course)

I wish, Our house is on top of a huge hill. Theres no way I can use it to get to work and school is on top of the hill too. If I live in the urban areas where everything is close I would definately get one but I live in the part of town where you need to get on the freeway to get anywhere. Plus I live in the ghetto I need something fast enough to avoid all the Will pick one up after college and I move somewhere else.

not useless at all. honestly, in seattle, an e30 is more useless. better mpg, easier to park, more reliable, no insurance, free parking on campus...

My buddies yamaha zuma he had was ugly as sin but we beat the piss out of that thing in the woods and whatnot. That thing had a hell of a life. These ruckus majiggers are more of artsy mobiles in my eyes.

what about not having any of the uber gay fairings makes it in any way "artsy"???

I dont understand the pull that the elite or the zuma has on anyone other than women. The ruck is a fun fool around toy to have. It gets me to work(12 miles) and back with no problems at all. I keep up with traffic just fine and hill climbs aren't a problem either. I know its just my opinion on the zumas and the elites but it is what it is. Dont take anything to heart guys.


But really, I dont see why someone wouldnt want something fun and cheap to mod and ride around.

^ hahaha. I love my Ruck and it gets me where I need to go every day! But I agree with you, that thing is definitely useless...

[ck_taft325is]

You guys really love shit that is completely fucking useless don't you. :???:

I'm going to have to agree. And before you get all :puppy:, I do agree they are cool. But really only ideal for city usage, yeah?

[HarryPotter]

Then yea, swap or backroads are your options as i see it.



Oh, and i dont see the bannana hammock elite looking better than a ruckus

It's project racous, it gets updated from time to time... And the elites are cooler than a lot of scooters, but not a ruck IMO

Details on that meow please.

EDit, nevermind its still project raucous awaiting completion

Would a honda 125 dirtbike engine and tranny fit under a ruck?

[808BMW]

Banana Hammock? Other than being fast, I don't get it. I know I've never been able to wheelie a ruckus (yet).

Isn't that the rubberducky ruckus or something? That build doesn't count until it is done. So sick, yet no updates last I looked :(

[Stephen]

All around town here the roads are 45mph. Everyone does at least 50. I can get to work and back on 35mph side roads for the most part, but if I were to make a jaunt over to a neighboring city I would like to be able to keep up at 50mph. I know with some tweaking people have seen low 50s on stock bores but I want to be able to hit that speed and maintain it relatively easily.

Where would you go with it? And how fast realistically do you need to go? I went all around seattle today and never tapped out. Kept up with traffic just fine.
