***The Official HONDA RUCKUS Thread***

These things are weird but cool at the same time

Yeah but your Elite PROBABLY looks like this....



So Ruckus > Elite 50 (80)

Mine is an 87, so it is a tad different:


Much better looking than a ruckus, but I guess that is opinion :P
There are no 150cc ruckus' around here, but the lightly modded one's my friends have will cruise at 40-45 on flat ground. Once it hits a hill they suck though. I can still pass traffic up hills, unless they are speeding (then I really don't need to pass anyway). I almost want to get a speeding ticket on the flat highway just for bragging rights (almost :P).

A buddy's bike has some of the goodies: stroker motor, stretched mount:


Disc conversion, oversized rotor:

Man I want to but I just don't know how to deal with the stock speed on them, or lack thereof. I am already looking at GY6 swaps and big bore kits and everything adds up real quick.

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.

A fantastic deal if they dont slam you with charges. Do it. So much fun

Bumping this shit, I just found a brand new 09 leftover at a local dealer for $1795. I was going to dump my tax return into a gun, but a ruck has been a want of mine for years.

Thats the main reason I don't have one, San Diego is too hilly. Eventually I will give in and hop one up I bet.

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 love my Ruckus. It's definitely time for some more top end and climbing capabilities... Going up hill at a max 25 Mph is really starting to suck in 40mph zones.

I think someone posted a 600 a few pages back. A Busa motor would rip that thing in half, that would rock though a busa motor and a 195 tire back there.

[aintnothang]

a 600cc would be insane. How about a hayabusa?

[e34john]

If Big had a 600cc in his do you guys think Rob can keep up if he drafts?

[Stephen]

Frame extension needed.
