great scooter, truly amazing. a member of my group {Sw-MMM} has a 07 ruckus. he lets me ride it all the time , being my scooter's broke or some were else. it pulls my fat * 40mph no problem, it seems it would go faster but its restricted, you can tell because down hills 41 is top.
take off it good, for power its really good. from a dead stop it gets up to 35 like nothing but getting up to 40 takes a little longer but its not bad at all.
he put 2500 miles on it in one summer. it was {and still is} rode every day and stands to the beating. trail riding and jumping is nothing for a ruckus.

gas mileage is another amazing part of this moped. pending how you ride it , it will get 80-107 mpg!
50cc yes, and a 4-stroke also . but for a 4-stroke it gets up and goes.
a new one ranges for about 2000$ but well worth every penny.

I love hte Ruckus. I just bought a Big Ruckus & it is awesome. So much fun to ride and it's highway legal. I'm used to my old spree with a top speed of 34 on flat ground, this thing easily gets to 60 and still has room to go. What an awesome machine, everybody should have one. 8)

the ruckus looks great, big tires, open handlebars and hardly any panels

my fellow crew member has had his dropped many times and theres no visible damage.
if any one has one a word of advise; take off the air filter and get a 5hp honda lawn mower air filter. bigger gaps in the back side lets more air though. 30 to 40 is faster
