Modern Buddy

so since my scoot is missing all its plastic right now me and hubby were both on his yesterday and we smoked a ruckus! with 2 people! the guy looked so pissed, and to think i almost got a ruckus.

yeah, the ruckus is a SLOW bike...the only way to make the fast is alot of cash$$$$$$$... mostly in asia they do motor swaps to save some money..

You'd be slow too with drum brakes front and rear

haha its a little sad. my cage is a honda accord, and that car is wonderful, to bad the quality didnt transfer over to the scoots

Thats because your rough house is a 2 stroke, and a ruckus is 4 stroke, both have similar top end, but the 2 stroke gets there faster.

but with it being a four stroke why no disc brake? dont drum brakes only work dry?

With such a light weight and a governed top speed of 30mph drums are enough. Since drums are usually sealed they are pretty good for the "low maintence" crowd. If water does get in there it usually creates a layer between the drum and the shoe and kills the stopping power. JFrost is right about the pickup of the 2t vs 4t motor... but the Ruckus is still a slow little ride. Damn near bullet proof, but slow. I'd be willing to bet the RoughHouse's design is a lot more modern too

A buddy of mine here has a ruckus. The suspension on them is amazing. I didn't feel a thing really when he let me ride it. True that they're slow as heck too. Gets to 40 mph eventually and can see 45 mph with a slight downhill but it takes forever. The ruckus would be amazing if it was a 2T.

Well come on out then to the April 18th Richmond Ruckus Ride. We are meeting at Pony Pasture at noon for a 3-4 hour ride. There will be about 15-20 of us. Come on down and show us your trix.

Ruckus rules the world. You people are toooo broke to afford one maybe someone can give you one when you stop crying

pathetic

Ruckus, Buddy, wutever it is...

It's a ride, not a race!

Be a rider not a hater!

Enough said.

i get it. if i get a ton of people to agree with me on their first post, then i win right. or maybe i sign up on a forum ten times and agree with myself then i win.

Don't think I was being disengenuine. We are having a Richmond Ruckus Ride on April 18th. We know nothing of your bikes and appears you are just as unfamiliar with ours. I was extending an invitation to at least meet at Pony Pasture for some discourse. Again you are quite welcome.

i dont think that honda makes a bad scooter, they just make a slower scooter, that also has drum breaks, I think its great that people ride scooters no matter what they are, and another thing is we all are entitled to our own opinions. I posted this topic because I was shocked that my husbands scoot was faster with 2 people on it then a ruckus, and I am very sorry if my post offended you.

and the comment about cheapness? my rough house was the same as the ruckus in price, but had a higher suspension, a disc break, and a better warranty, I made the decision that suited me best, Im glad you made the decision that suited you best but lets not send ourselves back to middle school with catty insults

CitizenX I private messaged you about the upcoming rally hosted by the richmond based Seven Hills Scooter Club, maybe the ruckus group can make it, were all scooters thats all that matters.

I smell troll

10 - 4

I'm selling my Ruckus to help pay for my new BlackJack. My wife also bought a Honda Metropolitan (another 50cc Honda scooter) the same day I bought my Ruckus. When you compare side-by-side, it is clear that the Ruckus is not designed for speed; they have the engineering know-how to make a better bike, the Metro makes that clear. It is a big heavy ugly monstrosity with giant tires; this bike is a toy, meant to be ridden around in dirt and mud as much as roads. I love how ugly it is but it just isn't intended to be practical transportation like most scoots!

On the other hand, it is incredibly reliable, and the giant tires are great if you live somewhere with a lot of potholes. The bike attracts a lot of tinkerers, too.

You won't smoke these rucks

We just love what we do...

fast, slow, as long as it has 2 wheels, it doesnt MATTER!

those are sickk looks like a lot of money went into them

You won't smoke this one either. Other scoots are for people with no imagination. The ruckus is a blank canvas meant for people with an imagination and a desire for their ride to reflect their creative talents.

lol, and deep pockets

If that's it, then you need to check out the japanese scoots, they got you ruckers beat by a mile!

Custom is custom... I can appreciate it all. Doesn't mean it's right for everyone. A good custom is always art to me, a hack job is always a hack job too There are some beautiful custom Zoomers out there (one guy stuffed a Silverwing engine in one).

As hesitant as I am to bait a troll…

Have a look around this forum and you'll see plenty of creativity and customization, both on the inside and out. Most of us like the Ruckus here and have some amount of appreciation for many types of scooters and the work people put into them.

If you ever come back to this forum, read the Posting Guidelines before posting. Abide by them or get booted. Thanks.

Actually, looks like this thread somehow drew a bunch of trolls.

Same rules apply to everyone. Read the Guidelines, show some respect for others. If the Ruckus guys can't be considerate and behave (and yes, some of you have been well behaved, thanks), the thread will get locked.

just a glimpse of what can be done to this slow thing i've got. some buddies actually look nice.

and our pockets aren't any deeper than your guy's.

balls

Balls.

Oh no, not this can of worms again. Play nice.

126cc big bore rattler here, with adapted big chamber exhaust and 26mm carb. I dont know if any of those "Rucki" would hang, but I have ridden a ruckus before and they arent nearly as stable as what we ride.

this forum sucks! rattlers suck! genuine scooters suck! all of you guys suck! rucks are great. we are fast you are slow. mine looks great and your is ugly. buck-ten ridders are jerks and yo mamma and so forth.

did i get it all.



just messin around. i have always liked the looks and mods of the things you guys can do. tons of cool parts available.

Awesome. Trolls are trolls. Real scooterists/riders/pilots know better.

Simply put, I love scooters. I currently have a Ruckus. In fact, I'm one of the founding members of the NWRA (Northwest Ruckus Alliance). However, my Ruck is for sale, and when I return from Afghanistan I'm planning to buy a Rattler. For me, it's just a choice that makes more sense, since I need something faster without pouring a ton of money into mods.

I love my Ruckus, and even more than that, I love the comradery that exists in the Ruckus community. I plan to keep on riding with those guys even when I no longer have the Ruck. (One guy said, "Of course you'll be welcome to ride with us... just slow down and let us catch up once in a while!" ) In the scootering community at large, there are already enough factors against us (inattentive cagers for one), and we don't need to be bickering among ourselves.

well said

the pilot sould be a better example.

i have been on this site many of times. eric is cool to some extent. its his site so let him have it. we just had our Super Sunday California ride with over 140+ scoots in attendance and 100+ of them being Rucks. btw some of your peeps came to the ride as well Eric where were you? dont mean to put you on blast bro you have a nice site this thread attracted some die hard ruckus peeps because the scooter community is small and word gets around quick.

bottom line is this. keep your site. keep your buddys and your vespas no problem. but before the people want to criticize what we are doing (on the ruckus side) i suggest you come out and ride with us. this way you can see first hand what we are up too. i have seen first hand what builders are doing with the ruckus and it is far more than what i have seen with Genuine's line. dgmw buddy is a decent bike but imo wont match up to the the unlimited customizations you can do on a Ruck for that, Honda's lil 49cc will sell and sell good.

BTW i had a Rattler sold it for a Ruckus. I seen a rattler motor in a ruckus.. the last rattler i seen blew a belt (they put in a zuma 125 belt in to make it go)and then sized the piston.. ouch..
PWJDM came to the rescue for the rattler owner. A Honda Rukus Parts retailer. SUP DARRYL! tell BRAD to Come out and PLAY already...

You won't smoke my Ruckus!



79.6mph sweetcheeks!



BTW, I had a Rattler 110...and it's pretty slow. I swapped it into the ruckus...and still slow...put a Primo exhaust on it...Still slow...

But I just love 2 wheels so, bring your slow wheels out to the Next Super Sunday Ride.

Get a Zuma125 if you want real power and reliability, but get a Ruckus if you want to look cool.

And if you want your Zuma125 to look cool...Get a KILLER SCOOTER Extension Kit!

Why do these guys feel the need to come here and defend there little Hondas, its kinda pathetic.

79 mph on a scooter..........why dont you just buy a crotch rocket man? That is pretty stupid dude. You spent twice the $ on the mods than you did for the pathetic little 50 cc scooter. You suck at life

Naw, we just don't see why you ruckers feel the need to come on here and post about how superior you and your bikes are. It takes a pretty small man...

Denskies has a point about the $$, and the speed. I ponder the wisdom of paying a lot to mod a scooter just to go really fast, when you could just buy a motorcycle or a faster scooter.
Don't really care for the bike(nothing personal) but, the cluster looks cool. Where did he get it?

honestly, I like the look of the ruckus. But I'm 6' tall and those things are like mini bikes.
You don't see we rattler owners getting all hostile and posting stupid crap on ruck forums to try to add inches to our d!cks. I think it must be a nepoleonic complex because their scoots are small.

and that's the truth, Ruth.

Weird, a motorcycle magazine doesn't like a stock Rattler... or a Ruckus Please guys, enough flaming around here. Ride what you like, like what you ride. A few more small parts accusations and this thread stands a great chance of being locked down

I don't give a damn if it does! I wish they would have locked it awhile ago, so these damn inferiority-complexed ruckers would go back to whatever shit hole they came from!

I would like to find that hole because it appears it's full of a lot of money.

Then where would I post that Motorcycle USA article???
