Just a Honda Ruckus with 1,300 on the clock for the low price of $1,200.

Is there anything better for cruising around college? Running through the city to get to work? I mean, it's hard to argue with 110mpg...

Whatta we think? NP or CP? For the record, seller has at least one other for sale at the moment.

I'd buy it. I could almost go 26 days without filling it up if I only used it to go to work and back. That's over 5 weeks without having to put gas in it. So awesome.

I've had motorcycles, never had a scooter, but I have a weird thing for Ruckus', Ruckuses, Ruckii ,...whatever. seems like a decent price.

Very. Hell I could go almost the entire semester of school without putting gas in it.

Best thing about these little scooters is their bee fart can exhausts. So funny see someone cruising in WOT, but with 20mph top speed. Not sure about the Ruckus, but most of these tiny scooters are very loud. Funniest thing to drive at 2AM returnig from a party. Definitely a college vehicle.

Thats where a few mods come in handy. 60mph top speed? Sounds like fun.

Fair to nice price.

If you have the money, save for a Honda Grom .

If you don't, also consider an older two-stroke Yamaha Zuma. Zumas tend to go for a couple hundred less than Ruckuses. While the engine is less reliable (re-rings needed every 10k or so), re-ringing is simple enough, and the engine is more powerful and both cheaper and easier to modify to get power out of it.

But, then, if power if a concern, a 49cc scooter probably isn't the way to go...

Just make sure to lock it up if you do buy one.
