Cheap Honda Ruckus

Post by jimmu »

There's a Honda Ruckus on my local Craigslist and it looks like a good deal. https://pensacola.craigslist.org/mcy/5968928771.html
I like the rugged barebones look of these scoots and of course the legendary Honda reliability.

Can't say for sure what it is, but I can tell with certainty that the machine in Question is *NOT* a Honda Ruckus. It looks more like a Chinese 50cc 4-stroke air-cooled GY6 derivative with trashed bodywork.

Could you describe the Ruckus?<br /><br />But alas, this isn't one.<br /><br />This looks more like a dried-up turd on a bad stretch of road...

But alas, this isn't one.

At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

That's a Chinese scooter with the body taken off. Haha!

The seller has no clue. That looks like a dead and desiccated bird. Needs to be buried.

Some people can break a crowbar in a sandbox.

I think you'd spend a lot of money on repairs.
