Over the course of my life Ive owned 4 Harleys, numerous Yamahas, bigger Hondas, Ural, Can Am, they all had a personality of their own and then somehow Ive reached 75 yrs. When I saw a Ruckus go by in town I had to find out what it was. The owner was more than willing to give me a tour. Long story short I bought one three years ago. Its still stock but not for long, after watching your videos I going to hop this little mother up and leave this ole earth having the time of my life. The simplicity is the attraction. Cannot wait to start working on it in the spring

DONT LET ANYONE DISCOURAGE YOU IF YOU ENJOY THE RUCKUS... NOW IM THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE... THX FOR THE VIDEO...

I'm not that big into bikes, but I like this thing just because it's different. It's okay for it to be slow, because you have bikes and cars/trucks that are faster. Like a famous man once said, "It's more fun to drive a slow car (or bike, in this case) fast, than to drive a fast car slow."

Keep up the good work, bro!

I love my 2017 Ruck that I bought new. Left all the running gear stock but added the big rack on the back, have a collapsible crate on it for carrying groceries when needed. Put a tube bag on the front rack, and a red bag under the seat, so I can carry a rain proof poncho, a roll up tool kit, my chains and locks, and some bottled water. Had installed a pair of white plastic saddle bags with the turn signals wired into them along with keeping the originals on the front and back. I like it that folks can see that I am planning on turning! In my bags, I carry a 1 liter stainless steel bottle with gasoline in case I cannot find a gas station readily, my winter gloves, etc. I do not mind going slower, heck this is the only motorcycle that I can run full throttle most of the time! Ha ha. But it will still go fast enough in town that I could get a ticket, but never have! I considered the grom when I purchased but in my state anything over 50 cc has to be licensed by the state, so no license, no tag, no insurance and no government bs to fool with…I don’t even have it listed on my property tax list, no need to!

I have owned, over the years, Honda 750s, and even an 1800 Goldwing, but Since zi am now in my mid-70s, My long distance riding days are over…and I just love getting on it and going anywhere within a 30 mile radius for lunch! Heck, being retired I have no need to rush anywhere now! Ha ha.

A Ruckus is the ideal mode of transportation for any situation

[jamesrevell]

My Ruckus got stolen. I went to the dealership to buy a new one but I saw a Navi. I got the Navi instead and a few months later I got my motorcycle endorsement. My stock Ruckus would do 45mph and my stock Navi will barely get to 50mph. Considering the Ruckus is way more reliable and no endorsement is required I wish I would have got the Ruckus instead.

Awesome! I am a Ruckus fan too! NOT A WASTE OF MONEY! It has sharp, futuristic, iconic look you can’t find anywhere else! Keep up the good work!

[jeromebullard]

I have a 1971 Honda trail 70 with the 88cc big bore kit. It’s great off-road, and for cruising around town. It’ll do 45mph comfortably with a nice low purr. It’ll wind out at do 55 if needed on flat or downhill. I love that bike. Indestructible.

[TheOffroadCamper]

Tell and I have a lot of experience with Honda scooters and was pretty active with some of the larger scale pocket bikes that were out 10 years ago. The only way to really successfully make that thing faster it was a displacement increase meaning a big bore kit or stroker crank, and those things to do exist for the ruckus. I drove a Honda aero 50 for years in high school.

[inyubasha]

My girl and I got our M1 motorcycle license by driving my ruckus around the slalom circle at the dmv in California. So much fun racing to 40 mph!

[avid.venture]

I had a moped cruising around Kelowna- some of my best memories. Friggin loved that thing

[tonightwerideee]

I love that you kept the tires that allow it off-road capability. Everyone changes that and I think it takes away from the character of the bike

[beaglemit]

Right on! Also gray/blk ‘22 I picked up in summer 2021. Always wanted one and now I have an extra approachable bike for someone, and campground go getter. Loads of fun and always liked the look of the Ruckus. The design does not get old.

[theburnhamproject]

I'm constantly getting hit up at red lights and gas stations about my ruckus. What is it, where did you get it, how much does it cost, what's the gas mileage? Everybody loves it!

[jaybaumphoto]

So stoked to see this video! I've been loving my ruckus too - very similar mod style.  

Happy to see you're dealing with the no cup holder and no ruckus friend life as well... Great update sir.

[davidj]

can’t believe bro is actually at home lol

[duckwater]

I ride a Rukus to and from work, so much fun and i get alot of compliments from people all over town

[DIRTYSXYMONEY]

Right down the street from you buddy and picking up my 1st ruckus soon. Hopefully see u out there

[ernieschatz]

Cool content. That said, in my situation, I would drop at least 150cc kit into it. Heck with being worried about putting it into Grom territory...having a sleeper Ruckus would do it for me.

[JFrenchRennier]

I have owned a Harley for 53 years & made numerous coast to coast rides. Still have 1 & I use it for highway & Interstate riding only. I also have a 2022 Ruckus which I modded to a full stage 2 plus NCY clutch & a performance carb. My normal cruising speed is 45/47mph with a top speed of 51mph but it takes almost 2 miles to achieve it.
Was putting in over $2, 000 on a new $2, 800 bike ? Hell Yes, the Ruckus is the most fun I have had riding since I was 12 & had a mini-bike only it is street legal. Most roads in-town are 35mph or less & it is my daily rider for all city riding. The best thing of all is I am no longer roasting above a hot motor for stop & go traffic in the heat of summer & mine gets 99mpg so its fun to fill up the tank.
