Just got mine out of the shed, changed oil and coolant and battery, did about 30 miles w my little beach cruiser today, can't wait til tomorrow to jump back on it
Bought mine new in 2017, when my knees told me my Goldwing days were over. Now has ~8800 miles on it, and I still enjoy riding it….I now know all the backroads in tap counties that I frequent. I have come to understand I bought more fun than my Goldwing ever gave me. Fast, smooth and fancy design gave way to ease of handling, fun to ride, and full throttle riding! BTW, I am now 75 years old!
used for $1500? yah right! these things hold they value and i can't find one under $2000 that isn't beaten to death! absolutely the vanguard for honda reliability and what honda cut its teeth on as a company.
For a non running one you can consistently get them here in Texas for about $1200! Atleast here in a college town. Sorry the market is crazy where you're at!
Lmfao i died at the part when you said (who needs a suspension when you got a medieval torture device realigning your back XD) Knowing my back and ass gave out from a 75 mile round trip today...
Yea I’m going to try get a few when I go on holiday they cost a fortune where I live so will try dealing with the import process instead of the I know what I have it’s worth more then you have will have or want to have son types
"Got as much horse power as a cafinated hamster... OR FOUR FUCKING HORSES!!!! That's 3,700 lbs of athlete ungulate in a 130lbs scoot scoot. Respect your Equus history!
I will be honest, with these aftermarket pipes it is pretty loud. But the pipes that come with it stock are actually pretty quiet. They can really make these little guys quiet with only a 49cc engine if that's what you're looking for. This one has a full aftermarket exhaust system that the owner put on to be louder so more people could hear him while driving!
Lo que hasta ahora no entiendo es xq tan apegado al suelo, los rompemuelles qué hay en peru son muy altos, porq no consideran eso los creadores de honda.

Just imagine how cool the 250 version would be, not produced anymore

🤣 That's a few at once on these things!
Thank you for this. The commentary is 🤌🏻😂
😂😂 Thank you very much!
Oh boy, I love mine! 😁
I sure do too! They are freakin awesome!
@@octanerestorations Hey how much do u weigh and how tall are u love your vids
@@saddboi2917 Thank you very much! I am around 6'0 and 200lbs, and the ruckus still fit me well!
Boutta go sell my firstborn to buy a Honda ruckus after this video 😂
RUclips's suggested responses for this comment were "Good!" "Do it" "You won't regret it!" So take that as your sign 😂

I want one but its light enough for two guys lift it into their truck while im in the store getting a few things that i have no storage for 😅
Theft would be a concern if you're located in one of those places!
Is it still 50cc?
"Got as much horse power as a cafinated hamster... OR FOUR FUCKING HORSES!!!! That's 3,700 lbs of athlete ungulate in a 130lbs scoot scoot. Respect your Equus history!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 You right!
Easy to mod you say? Any site recommendations?
Honestly Ebay and amazon have a pretty wide variety of parts!
im 23 yo chashier thank ypu i bought one today
My ruckus picked up more acceleration and top speed, a noticeable increase after about 400 miles
Might've finally broke it in!🤣
As much horsepower as a caffeinated hamster 😂
It isn't wrong🤣
Hows the seat height? The Ruckus seems really low compared to most scooters.
It is. It is definitely lower than others, but for me (5'11) it is still comfortable
I want one so bad
🤣 great!
Thank you!!
Is it too loud for what it is?
I will be honest, with these aftermarket pipes it is pretty loud. But the pipes that come with it stock are actually pretty quiet.

@@IamReallySanta look for 4stroke scooters if you want more quiet.

¡Yo tampoco lo sé! Apuesto a que hay piezas para arreglarlo.
Why couldn't they make moding the engine easy. Can't even put a big bore kit on it. And the breaks are awful.
I have seen quite a few people drop in the GY6 150cc engines for more power!
This guy have never tried a scooter in his life.
Thank you for your input!
That's the beauty of RUclips Tutorials, everyday people sharing their experience so we can make a more educated choice.
You cant speak English properly either
Did you just put REGULAR OCTANE FUEL 🤦♂️
I believe the manual calls for 87! I could be wrong though.
@@octanerestorations it says in manual "using lower octane will result in decreased engine performance" .. Under "Refueling and Fuel Guidelines" page 12 2024 Honda Ruckus manual
wtf are you talking about? its liquid cooled and fuel injected! Its the same engine in the Metropolitan and its been around for a long time!
Question are you willfully obtuse or…
Theres no storage space 😢. I hope Honda paid you for this commercial 😅
Nope! I wasnt paid🤣
Seems you can stuff a small bag under the seat. Not much though lol
Yeah dont get a 50cc if you want storage. Go 125cc at minimum and you might find one with a seat that lifts to store you helmet.
Not true! these bikes have quit a few problems way to many for me!
Hate to hear that! This one has been perfect!
Fuel pump goes out on many.
