Who actually would buy that? Is it good for duck hunting or is it good for yuppie smashing?

MagnumForce · 07-07-2005, 01:30 PM

Almost any bike is good enough for yuppie smashing. They're normally out in full force on their Harleys during the weekends, providing the weather is good enough.

Anyways, I did see one of those scooters yesterday and man, did it look like a construction zone! What was Honda thinking?

Ok, the link isn't working for me, so I went to the main page for that Honda dealer, and there's a whole bunch of scooters listed there. So, which scooter is it?

Thanks...

MagnumForce · 10-09-2005, 05:10 PM

It's the Big Ruckus.

If I was to go scooter, that would be the model I'd go for. I like it.

It's the 250cc hopped up shopping cart of my dreams (before I wake up screaming). Anybody seen an uglier 2 wheeled vehicle? :o

Ya, sure , if I wanted an off roead bike.

I've seen one yesterday, parked at a resturant, and we just got 6" of snow with ice. It looks like a 2 wheel ATV.
At least they are riding.

I'm parked!

I like the color, it could be "Made by Dewalt"

RampageRider · 12-16-2005, 10:24 AM

I looks like something that would be in the Toy's R' Us isle in the Tonka section, but they do look strager in person when you can walk around it and see it from all angle's

that bizzle is the ish... fo shizzle.

JoelAZ · 02-10-2006, 05:36 PM

I like it.

azoazc · 02-10-2006, 09:22 PM

It's a scooter for eco-friendly bad asses!!

bat4255 · 03-01-2006, 01:49 PM

Honda Big Ruckus

Shea · 03-01-2006, 02:26 PM

Looks like a Dewalt to me.

Apertureguy · 08-15-2006, 12:48 PM

I know this is an ancient thread. But I just had to spill the beans...lol.

I just happen to have one of these babies. It's what my wife drives. It's got plenty of cargo places (with tie-down pegs) that she uses to go shopping with. The back seat, flips up to a full size backrest for the front seat.

But yeah...what a freaking ugly bike. There isn't anything you can buy that will match the color...unless you go with something from DeWalt as someone mentioned.

On the other hand...it got my wife riding...which is pretty cool. Is wicked good on gas...nearly 70 mpg and it will do a good 80 to 85 mph. I was too afraid to take it beyond that...tires are a little too slim for me.

We paid $4800 out the door. But let me tell you...getting her on a bike so I could buy my M50...I would have paid double & still been happy.

Although...when I have to ride it, like to bring it in for a service (she follows in car) you can't help but feel like a dork. Darn thing should have a matching ladies handbag as a standard option.

mike79 · 09-01-2006, 08:49 PM

i saw two ladies yesterday driving on these from a chemical plant. they looked like they were having fun.

Apertureguy · 09-22-2006, 09:34 AM

Yeah...for some women...it would be fun.

#1 They don't care how they look riding it.
#2 It's got wheels and an engine...they think they're riding a motorcycle.
#3 It's got some very functional storage space.
#4 The backrest...is really nice.
#5 All they need to do is sit on it & hit the gas.

What's not to like...that's how they drive their cages too.
