I'm seriously considering a Honda Ruckus. Tell me how special I am.

that thing would be perfect for me. most places i'd ride it, i'd never go through a speed zone of more than 45 anyway.

one of my neighbors up at school had one of those things, used to ride it year round pending the streets were plowed. Would be great for my commute of 6 miles a day, but the less than 45mph thing kills it.

People had Nitrous on their Elite's back in the day when I was in Hawaii. Seriously...I've witnessed them out run cars at the local track. The most I did with my Elite was removed the governor, bigger jet kit, intake, and an exhaust. Stock it did 28mph, mine was around 45-48mph. h: h:

Nice. I just read that they have a 1.3 gallon tank too. So upwards of 120mpg is definitely do-able.

It's a Ruckus. How hard is it to Google?................................I apologize. I forgot we had some military in here. I should have posted a manual and flow chart on how to use the Google search feature.

the 49cc is helpful in states where you wouldn't have to register it/special license

Good point. Class C gets to ride it no problem, in Cali.

Yup same in VA. Helmets aren't required (but I'd definitely have one), and no insurance required.

so it looks pretty much like a scooter with no plastics.

ive been thinking about getting one too, i dont know if i actually will though.... i can spend the 1500 on gas h: but i was looking at getting a schwinn, they go for 1500-2000 depending what you get.
