My Ruck is stock with stock engine, bought larger rear rack and have permanent white plastic saddle bags on it, with turn signals on bags. I call it my white bumblebee. Got rock guards on my stock headlights. Get lots of compliments on it and questions, particularly from harley riders and women. All are surprised that, at least in Arkansas, no license, no registration, no insurance required. Must have valid dl, but not necessary to have motorcycle designation. Being now 71+, I prefer slow fun riding on back roads...did my share of 80+ mph freeway riding on my Goldwing...but my knees are bad and the GW was a horse to manage when in town...but not my Ruck! Just fun all the time, and its quiet enough I can slip away from home for lunch any day I want! Ha ha. When asked how fast ir goes, I just say, "Fast enough to get a ticket in town!" which of course is true...ha ha.
True, everything you said. I can never understand why Honda never made a 125cc version. How many people make them faster. It would of been a great seller.
Paul Ford Yeah, from a sale perspective I have no idea why they haven’t put a model like that into production. The scooter has so much potential in design
I feel the itch to mod more on my ruck but another part of me doesn’t want to. I have a GET with a K&N air filter and a Polini variator. The rest is all stock I keep business cards for my Honda guy to give to people who want one.
I'm planning on buying a ruckus in the future. I've joined 3 fb ruckus groups to see what people do abd i feel that the community is hella toxic. So many people shitting on dudes who want to keep it stock or minumum mods. That makes me sad bro.
It’s true it really is and everyone has strong opinions of how to do it and if you don’t do it that way you are a looser. Beh, if you got questions just ask me.
@@SmallEngineVelocity i would really appreciate that! Im more like ly wanna keep it stock except stretch it and give it a fat wheel in the back. Imma hit you up in the future to ask what parts would i need.
I started my riding journey on a Honda Ruckus. I stretched it, lowered it, intake, exhaust, rejet did the whole 9 yards lol. I was considering going 150cc but then ended up selling the ruckus and got a CB300F which satisfied me for about a year and I recently sold it and got a '17 Triumph Bonneville Bobber 1200cc and I'm loving it. I owe it all to the ruckus for getting me on two wheels! I have a few vids of the ruckus up and my Bobber too
@@SmallEngineVelocity Cool. I love love love Honda anything. I'll probably get the bigger engine seeing as these small engines are usually reliable anyways.
Check your rollers , you should be able to get more than 20. I know 300 lb people that can go 40. If this is a troll comment. Shame on you. If not , you can do it !
Hey Cecil why don't you make a video on the top vacuum lines that have to be shut down in order for the Ruckus to get going I've been trying to find videos on what cut-offs on the vacuum to do on the engine n on the carburetor people show videos but they don't show close-ups what you have to disconnect them put back together that should be one of your top five questions
Great channel. Learning a lot from your videos. Considering a ruckus with a moderate build, small stretch and somewhat lowered. Do you think the lowered stance helps with the ride and performance? I feel like it will make it harder for people to see me
Yes it will make it harder for people to see you so you have to drive bee defensive. Helps to have a decent loud exhaust too. It’s easy to control but a bit harder to turn. On the flip side , no one ever misses me. The ruckus is such an odd duck on the road people are always yelling at me “cool bike” , “hey what’s that?”
Hey man I've just got a Honda ruckus and I've got to believe what looks to be a 9.5" and password Jdm stretch that mounts to the original Mounting position and I'm trying to figure out what's the fattest wheel locking go with with out going with a fatty mount
I'm looking at a 2019 ruckus & some after market parts for it. What's your opinion on the NCY CDI? Been seeing mixed reviews & even that it doesn't work on new models. Noob question!
I’m sure it works , but the NCY CDI should be done after you get a tachometer, change out your varriator and do some weight tuning. Alone it really doesn’t do much. Always ask :) we where all new at one point or another.
@@SmallEngineVelocity cool man that's good to know. I was just seeing horror stories of computer boards getting fried but perhaps it wasn't wired correctly? Thanks for all you do brother
TRS the ruck shop has a good video install on the NCY CDI. I highly suggest it but get a Trailtech tach (really small) and a pollini varriator first ... maybe some 5g dr pulls sliders to start before that. One mod at a time to control your variables when tuning is how I like to work.
@@SmallEngineVelocity yea TRS has a stage 2 kit for the 50cc engine that comes with a lot of good mods. Trying to decide if I should get the bundle or do like you said, one at a time til I find something I like
roflmao brah!!!! Perfect video about owning and driving a Ruckus. Had my last stretched Ruck stolen by meth heads here in Hawaii - it was a custom female-tourist magnet! Am looking for another... there are serious bike artists out here that can do the down-low bad-ass nasty with these rides. Thankyou for your video =D Oh!! dont forget driving along on the side of the highway, - in the rain - when two semi trucks drive by you... Aloha! drive safe and BE Special! Curtis

getting my first one this week and couldn't be more excited!
Sweet! Welcome to the community:) you will have a blast and your wallet will cry if you get really into it. You buying new or used?
ill be getting a 2007 with 2k miles, trading my boosted board for it, so I figured I couldn't pass it up
this kid lied^ he got a 2011 instead orange one just like yours.
We got twin bikes! Woot
@@ChuckyWright sweet! Now all my videos apply directly to you
That intro was about 50 seconds too long with some super annoying music.
yea I can agree it was too long. Trying new things sometimes ends in mistakes.
It’s all good! Loved the rest of the video though!
Thanks :) I try to mix it up and try new things and sometimes it just kinda stinks lol

New=$2,800, I paid $1,200 on Craigslist, but expect to pay at least $1,600 on Craigslist...
In the U.K. They only sold for a few years. You can double that price here. 😮
49cc is fine if you're riding mostly Flat roads.
150cc+ is needed if you live in area with alot of hills.
It’s cool to have but you have to map
Out your route to avoid those roads where speed limit is 55 lol
True, everything you said.
I can never understand why Honda never made a 125cc version. How many people make them faster. It would of been a great seller.
Paul Ford Yeah, from a sale perspective I have no idea why they haven’t put a model like that into production. The scooter has so much potential in design
they did make a bigger version, it was discontinued, look up “big ruckus”
Would “of”? Wtf does that mean?
I feel the itch to mod more on my ruck but another part of me doesn’t want to.
I have a GET with a K&N air filter and a Polini variator.
The rest is all stock
I keep business cards for my Honda guy to give to people who want one.
If you like stock stay that way. I would recommend trying sliders and adding a tach for tuning.
6 it's a cool bike,in a keep it stock to see how long it last, nice bike man
Stock it should last for a really long time , like pass it on to your kids long
"I'm 200 lbs how do I go faster?"
"Lose some weight!"
Good points
You need to name that single grey hair that keeps wanting to say hi
Omg! My wife was literally chasing me trying to pull it. Does it show on my videos !?!?
Yes it does

I agree and like your top 5 specially your number one they always asked me about that
You speak truly friend.
Thanks I am trying
Great video bro! Been wanting one of these for a WHILE!
I love mine , I’ll have it forever
@@SmallEngineVelocity Cool. I love love love Honda anything. I'll probably get the bigger engine seeing as these small engines are usually reliable anyways.
I got a quite few asking me about my ruckus out here.
Something is wrong with my Ruckus. It won't go 20 mph and I'm only 450 pounds!
Check your rollers , you should be able to get more than 20. I know 300 lb people that can go 40. If this is a troll comment. Shame on you. If not , you can do it !

Top 5 top speed mods
Is the honda ruckus safe to drive now that theres so many violent people
The only thing I hate if I riding my Honda is the pot hole there’s a lot over here in Hawaii
On point with everything haha
Thanks man :) appreciate the comment and the view
Great video, Caesar! Speaking of ruckus mods, do you think you will ever install met gears for more speed? If you do that would be a cool video.
Ahhh! Your predicting the future :) it’s in the works
Sweet! Looking forward to it :)!

Just get a small motorcycle 650cc
Built not bought comes to mind but I enjoy small CC performance
I weigh 330lb and want a ruckus
get on one and see how you like it
Ruckus is basically a beach cruiser
Expect to be really slow going up hills. Lol.
So true
Ha! Since I’m still running GET so I avoid large hills.
@@xJ3YQx I look at what way the wind is blowing and how hard also
Try not to hit the red light at the base of a hill...I've also straight laid out with my stomach on the seat to try to maintain speed going up a hill.
Need the 150cc+ for hilly area roads.
Honda needs a 200cc or 250cc Ruckus version with wide tires. For Hill Climbing purposes...

I definitely know more or less how much I've put into my money pit but I'd much rather not know the actual value lol
I’d also rather not know
How hard it is to put a push to start on with no keys ?
You can’t or atleast I have never been able to. The cvt clutch e gauges at like 3000 rpm , anything less in a neutral
How is chocha not # 1
Love the new intro.
It’s a one off intro , should it be saved and used again?

Or can I buy it is a question too
Can u send me the link where can i buy the rear rim?
It’s a Douglas 10x8 but make sure you buy the Kymco hub that works on the ruckus. Also make sure your
Motor mount is offset for a 8” fatty
Does it require motorcycle license?
In Texas Yes!
In Cali?
@@BlueDeafGaming in alberta it doesnt as long as its only 50cc or less
What kickstand you using ?
Shorty kickstand (side stand)
I had to cut mine and weld it shorter and now it’s to low
amzn.to/2Y8gMje
LMAO.... are there any wow players here? WOTLK greatest of all time.
the dog whisperer?
Ruckus whisperer
@@SmallEngineVelocity takes a good man to take a joke👍
keep up the ruckus
Good video, shorten the intro. #3 and 5 pretty much the same thing
Yea I was just staring back then. Intro is about 10-12 seconds long now.
On my 2019 honda ruckus for me the upgrade price 5 thousand plus because engine auto w/reverse on it?
I would ask...Can you pop a wheelie on the Ruckus? haha Stay Safe
I’ve seen videos and they are mostly standing wheelies in the back frame
Yes, they have a few turbo'd ruckus's that handle that plus over 100mph
Dear god long azz intro
5 useless points!
Useless to you but not to everyone :) thanks for the feedback
