Thanks in advance. Re: Ruckus engine longevity Post by Blzrmike » Sun Nov 12, pm Well, just like anything else, a Ruckus is going to last in direct proportion to how good you take care of it.
If you ride it hard and neglect the maintenance, it's not going to last long at all. If you keep fresh oil and gas in it and ride reasonably moderatly, it could last many thousands of miles. It's easier to make more horsepower than to lose weight. Lock it up and protect your investment. Kryptonite below used to have a warranty where they would pay you if their lock was broken.
Double check to make sure this is still the case, but they make quality products. Further, if you are unlucky like my friend, don't just sit on your hands. We eventually learned years after the fact and too late to be of help for him that he could have filed a Casualty and Theft Form with the IRS and received some tax deductions. You obviously want to try and deter theft of your Ruckus, but if it happens, you can at least mitigate some of the loss by filing Form The Ruckus has a very simple four-stroke engine, and, all in all, there is only so much that can be changed on the model to keep the same price point.
I mean, just look at the pictures I left out a few of the midyear models and the pic is above, but you get the point. They've all got almost the exact same engine, with color schemes often being the differentiating factor from model year to model year.
So, if you're willing to pay a few hundred more dollars for a scooter with a particular color, then maybe the newer models are something you would be interested in.
Otherwise, I would have to recommend getting an older, used one like my model. If you do happen to lose the cap for your coolant, don't order a new one! Over the top? Worth the money? No, probably not. Just shows that you can get a little creative with how you customize your ruck includes stunt and snow driving videos referenced above. So the videos above give a couple ideas of things you can do but, to be honest, most of these guys go way over the top and then some.
You'll be more than set with just a few things. Also in the video, the place where the guy rests his feet is actually the gas tank. Small, right? Beyond these few customizations, feel free to throw a couple bucks into your scooter if you want, but don't go over the top with it.
I've heard of people with modified Ruckuses hitting up to 75 mph, and even saw a video of a Ruck with hydraulics when I was searching around YouTube for the above video, but I don't really get this.
At the end of the day, one of the real perks about the Honda Ruckus is its price, and if money isn't a problem and you're trying to go 80 mph, you might be better off with a Harley. The Ruck is fine as is, but if you save up some money here and there, these are some additions that you can piecemeal together over time that will make your experience better. If you had told me I would someday be the proud owner of a scooter, I would have probably laughed in your face; as a former three-sport varsity athlete I was "too cool" don't think that takes much though.
There are no two ways about it, mopeds have a bad rap for being dorky, and maybe for good reason too. But the Ruckus is just different. Last week I had a guy in a pickup pull up to me at a stoplight and ask what in the hell it was, and if I had made it.
He said it was cool, and was blown away when I told him it was a moped, "So its a moped, but it just doesn't look like one? Now, having owned the Ruckus for years now, I couldn't be more happy with it.
My friends are always asking to borrow it, it's fun, and with gas prices volatile and always on the rise, the idea of buying one makes that much more sense. You're not going to be taking it on the highway soon, but for urban areas or for just getting around town they're perfect! Go test-ride one, you won't regret it.

Living full time in an RV sounds like fun. Let's see. When life spins out of control and you are overwhelmed with debt and bills, bailing out and reducing your living costs may be the only chance you have. I was forced to live full time in an RV to survive. I will break down the associated costs.

Delusion is the strongest drug. Seven hours over spine-jolting rabbit trails, jarring railroad tracks and dusty rutted farm roads later, Scott Cooper and I pulled our 49cc Honda Ruckus motor scooters into the bustling metropolis of … Ritzville.
This is one of the drawbacks about Ruckus riding. In an urban setting they are wonderful little scooters, deftly designed and sturdy as hell. This is a tortoise, not a hare. First, Cooper sold me two cherry red, low-mileage Ruckus scooters a couple of years ago.
One for me. One for my lovely wife, Sherry. I used mine to visit my ailing mom and fetch groceries for her. Also, the insurance and gas for the car will cost more as well.
Additionally, Ruckus owners like to stretch out the frames and put on fatter rear tires for more stability and better traction. While the thought of buying a scooter like the Honda Ruckus might still seem ridiculous, just keep in mind that you could use it for light errand duty around town.
Of course, if your daily commute to work necessitates freeway driving, then a car would be a better option.
