ive been looking at them at the honda dealership
.they are registered for 40 mph and many say they will do it easy.thats a good thing.the bad thing they only have the color white and the crappy cammo gas tank black combo for 05-o6.i was wanting a red or yellow one...well if anyone has one or has rode one let me know anything that might be fun or valuable....im gtn something soonish.

any ped can go off roading if you take it off the road.

lol.i had a 91 or 92 elite that was new.my dad replaced 2 new engines in it before i lost it due to mud stopping up the cooling vent-fan-intake on the side of the motor..thats when i was a scooter noob and didnt even know it had one
...ill never ride anything i have in the mud again.led alone a 2 thousand dollar + ruckus.
.id buy an old 70cc -125cc yamaha or something for that chit. :lol:mine im gtn for sure is road only cruiser. )))) yipee!!!! >>>>>>>8) ----

if you want something that you can take off road. go with a cobra or a zuma. atleast those are fast. the ruckus is a POS

well it prob is.i was just lookn at the main web site.there always higher on there...ive bought a few other honda toys off the SR floor from them and never had any problems at all with them
.i love honda period.
..all they have now that ive seen is the metropolitian 1 and 2 and the ruckus scooters.....did i miss a model or something?....my buying choice is not set in stone at this point.
...also why would u say the ruckus is a pos?..it looks good to me and mostly its a honda.....honda dosent make turds like other factorys...if it goes 40 or even close and dosent break and is fun to ride thats enough for me.

its true. went offroading on my zip with street tires, had no idea it would handle it but I was doing 30-45mph on gravel fairly managable.
and ruckus = slow and almost no mod potential..
go for a minerrelli 2stroke and you can strike mod gold and reach decent speeds. zuma's are most popular in the offroading type department. just ideas..
