My new two-wheeled DD.

Got me a 2009 Ruckus in Matte Gray Metallic. 50cc, no need for motorcycle license, 100+mpg, what else do I need to say? It'll get up to 43 on flat land stock and the aftermarket support is ridiculous (big bore, stretch kits, engine swaps, etc..). Got it 4 days ago and already put 365mi on the odo :thumbup:. The ruck is small but surprisingly it'll top out and get up there pretty quick with me and my gf on it. So far I've only done the turn signal relocation and I relocated the horn to the battery box. Yoshimura carbon exhaust is in the mail and I'm going to order a PW:JDM stretch kit and a lower seat frame next pay check.

Here she is, note the uber JDM gum on the front tire:

The exhaust I ordered:

Before someone says something about riding 2-up on the ruck (weight limit of 220lbs) check out Rob & Big:

If it can pull big black up a hill, it can pull 2 people. :thumbsup2:

$2100 for the bike, like $23xx after tax, title, license. I believe the MSRP went up to like $2,499 on the honda website the day after I got it.

What she needs to look like:

Got my yosh pipe. Sounds pretty damn good. You REALLY know when you're hitting the rev limiter. With the stock pipe the only way you could tell without looking at the speedo was when you were going downhill and the bike was holding you back, now it's obvious. 43mph and POP! POP! POP!. Performance wise my acceleration has went to shit. Going to up to the recommended 80 size main jet and see what she does from there.

Found out today that a ruck requires a "Class L" endorsement to ride on public roads. That's bullshit.

Video from my shitty LG Dare. Makes my ruck sound like a top fuel dragster:[ame]http://s178.photobucket.com/albums/w251 ... 333_01.flv[/ame]

Sorry for the shitty cellphone pics..
