***The Official HONDA RUCKUS Thread***

well they make gearing kits for them. They lose a little power down low but gain it up top. Only problem I have is that I can only change things that are bolt on. The second I go internal it voids all warranty on it. Im not going to throw away 600 dollars worth of warranty for 2mph.

damn Erik thats looks great for being used. One question though. How do you like that rear shock? so far thats the one thing that I dont like. It just isnt stiff enough and doesnt have enough travel. They are really cheap too. Like 60 bucks for that spring.

Let me know. Also the speed var, which one does it have?
Taylor

I only rode a stock Ruck for about fifteen minutes and I have to say that the upgraded one is a lot better... I'm not that big of a guy so it didn't see a huge need for a different shock but I actually like it a lot. As far as speed difference, I definitely noticed this one to be quite a bit quicker on accelerations and definitely faster top end. I want to do more engine work on it though, it only really has gearing work.

How much do you weigh and what is the fastest you can go? I can maintain 40 on a flat surface.
Taylor

I just weighed in at 170.9lbs with shoes, no helmet, jacket, or gloves. Haha if that really makes a difference. Which with 5hp, it does.

There are no flat surfaces here so I'm not sure about that. I can maintain 38-40 with no issues on most of the road that aren't going harsh uphill...

First I'll say the ruckus is a cool looking machine, especially considering it's a scoot.

Secondly, one of the things that makes the scooters look/feel so gay is the position of one's feet while riding.

So why don't more peeps add some footpegs to these things that allow for a more forward foot position, like riding a cruiser?

1. Yes it is

2. I have foot pegs and I love them.

look at the picture that robmespeedy posted up. That guy has footpegs. They are black. He no longer has the foot shelf. He also extended the frame a good 5 or 6 inches. Its crazy how endless the possibilities are with the ruckus. They have something for everyone's taste.

Just picked up my new Ruck this afternoon. I did about 30 miles on it. So MUCH FREAKING FUN!!! I was a little cautious about riding at night because I had never ridden a scooter that much but it was a lot of fun! Even though it was like 40° and I only had thin gloves. I LOVE this thing so much.

It only gets better man. And i feel you on the cold weather ruckising. I road it the first night i bought it and i forgot gloves!!! But like I said it just keeps getting better.

one question though. How much do you weigh and what is the fastest you can go? I can maintain 40 on a flat surface. The reason Im asking is because I am lookin at buying a speed variator. Maybe the one that KN makes. Or the drag daytona variator.

lol i have a goped too. goes about 32mph

[fiftytakedowns]

I ahve my goped somewhere in the garage.... Wish it was a ruckus

[E30_fiend]

you going to make it the meet this friday on that thing?

I might if it would go faster than 43mph.

naw i will be in the bimmer as always

[e30trooper]

yeah you have to register them but my out the door price included all that. insurance is a hit or miss. Honestly you DO need it but if you get into an accident, the scooter will probably be done for and so would you. So rather than bike insurance get life insurance. haha. But really though the insurance for a financed scooter is pennies compared to a financed car. I dont see anyone paying over like 60 a month unless you are a crazy high insurance risk.

I love my ruckus. they look cool are crazy fun to ride and 110mpg is like icing on the cake. 140 miles on a 1.3 gallon tank is utter madness.
