Thinking of buying a Ruckus...is this a good deal?
Hey all,
This guy has a 2001 49cc Honda Ruckus...original owner...great condition with 1120 miles on it. He bought the netting, footpeg and windsheild accesories for it.....he wants a $1000 firm. Is this a good deal?
I'm a spree man myself. I've heard the Ruckus is kinda clunky and heavy...but if the price is right ya never know...
Thanks!
Robert

You sure it's a 2001? I thought they didn't bring the ruckus to the states until 2003. Not a bad deal though for the low mileage. Keep in mind the 2006 and up come with a better cdi, pipe, carb needle and a different pcv unit and therfore are faster stock than pre 06 models. stock pre o6 go about 35-37 depending on weight of rider and my 07 gets up to 45-47 with no wind or a tailwind and I weigh about 195.
remeber to change the oil in those! I have seen a few in my shop that spin bearing in them, a very costly repair. The newer ones are faster than the older ones. If you planning to make it go faster, be prepared to spend some dongs! Like for a good unrestricted CDI 300, bore kits , you must split the case and have them machine out the skirt areas. they look kool when they are all spiffy!

depends on what your looking for. If your not mechanicly inclined, get the 4 stroke ruckus. You shouldn't have to work on it much, about as much as working on a newer car, since its a 4 stroke. Just change the oil once in a while
If you are mechanicly inclined, get a 2 stroke. Newer honda elite. You can get them going very very fast
