Re: Honda Ruckus / Scooter Thread
this thread makes me want one bad. i still check craigslist every now and then, just have never found the right deal.
i do have a question... is it worth doing a GY6 swap? every now and then i'll come across a cheap non-running ruckus, and i feel like i'd rather pick up one of those and just swap it. i've priced it out, so i know i don't want to spend ~1800 on a nice, running ruckus only to tear the shit apart. but i have a feeling i will want a lot more power from the scooter, just cause i've ridden dirt bikes all my life and i find myself always wanting more. i.e. after owning a 2-stroke 250 for over a year, i'm itching to upgrade to a 450.
i realize its just a scooter, i guess i'm just trying to figure out if its worth it in the long run.

Re: Honda Ruckus / Scooter Thread
I dont have one but how do cops act towards you guys? With all the stetching and all that stuff...? Can they pull you over if your stroked or have a bigger engine? I mean obviously a 50cc isnt "supposed" to do 60mph...
I feel like i would want to have all kinds of fun with mine if i were to get one...
