thinking about buying a ruckus

[HxCforever]

man the disk brakes is the winner for me.

damn  good deal on an 06^  i used to look on craigslist like every day.  there is a dealer by me that would give me an 09 for $1,500 3 miles on it.  still not sure if i am going to wait for the 2011's to come out.  reasons i am waiting are because its supposed to have disc brakes, Fuel injection for better cold starts and some cool new colors

over all the bone stock ruckus or not its still a bad a$$ moped
but im slightly disappointed that they are pretty slow in stock form
the new ruckus are supposed to be fuel injected w/ disc brake... it seem like ^ d garage has been wanting one so bad lately
the ruckus is so worth it in the long run i drive the whole season until it snow


this is my other beater the metro
its stretch 7" w/ a ruckus swapped  
rear 10x6 atv rim w/ stretch oem ruck tire
ruck front rim
shortened lower front shock to it max
rear hardtail suspension
its sit pretty low its about 2 1/2" off the lowest point of the ground and i even want to go even lower


the recent work on my red ruckus
will be the new boom a range style handle bar
w/ miracle "X" style footbrace add w/ rear foot brake setup
been also been searching for a proper air ride system
in the mean while i integrated all my harness wire into ruckus frame
im shaving down the whole frame
and still not gonna painted until i make up my mine
and to do list
single side seat brace
single side rear wheel conversion
custom exhaust which is position the muffler in front of the engine vs side

and the wish list or figure how to list
the rear rim setup 13x10 -10 offset rear rim setup.. on ssr mk II/work equip 3/dori dori mesh/cherry blossom

yeah i really wish they would release some details on the 2011 ruckus.  I was hoping the 2010 would have fuel injection and a front disc brake.  maybe they will add it for 2011.  i probably won't be able to hold out til the 2011 ones come out.  so i'll probably end up getting an 09 and if the 2011 adds fuel injection and disc brake i'll just sell the 09 and pick up a 2011.  yeah the ruckus is pretty slow stock but its still fun.  after all its a scooter not a sport bike.  skunk that metro is pretty sweet looking.  I drove a metro and it was too small for me.  felt really awkward to ride.  your red ruckus is looking pretty good.  i like the x brace.  not a big fan of the handle bars but its still cool... as far as the rear rim setup that would be pretty bad ass.

its still lays frame and sadly that office chair held all of last year riding

thanks for the compliment d garage
there alot more work that needs to be done still.   i also forgot to mention about im adding a front belly pan too
as far as the metro you might want to consider riding mine..
alot of the custom part that im making are meant to be a one off design vs  the typical every average joe has on the ruck

I haven't been on total ruckus for months.  i should see whats going on over there

[skunkspeedshop]

i'll be lookin forward to ride with ya this year

[D Garage]

for sure^ i've been looking at parts and other peoples builds threads for like 2-3 years now hahaha.  I'm sure thats what a lot of people do when starting projects cars etc...  I might stop by my local dealer and see what kind of deal they could get me on a pair of ruckus'.   There arent any decent used ones for sale right now.  And since it's winter i might be able to get a pretty damn good deal from the dealer.

I also think it's pretty ridiculous that almost all the ruckus parts on bowls and other sites are sold out.. i mean wtf.

[skunkspeedshop]

dude there a red one of craiglist in your neck of the wood for 900...if i were you i would by a used one and then mod it up..
yeah as far as bowls, damn there always sold out all the time it make my wanna get into the game of having a ruckus speed shop.  and distribute out some bowls, atr, etc products
but since the 09 model are droppin price might as well buy a new one for 1600

[D Garage]

yeah last time i went to the dealer they said they would sell me a brand new one for $1,500 if i got two.  one for me and one for my gf.  but that wasnt the OTD price.  most of the used ones i see are pretty damn beat up. and i mean for like 500$ more for a brand new one it would be worth it.

check out this random ridiculous vid of a fat dude riding a ruckus with a small turbine engine

that was funny. got up to speed fast even though it was pushing 300lbs

[skunkspeedshop]

damn i want i want... i also would need a matching  suit with my ruckus too so i could go warp speed

[D Garage]

I believe one of those motors costs $5k with electric start.  they are really small and not that powerful.  would definately get a lot of peoples attention though.  So I might go to my local dealer after work tomorrow and see what kind of deal they could get me on a new ruck

i love RUCKUS's!! i want to stretch mine but i dont know which one to buy or how to do it yet??

[D Garage]

for some reason i dont really like the stretched look.  maybe a slight stretch but not the extreme long stretch. but if you need any help me and skunk will be more then happy to help^

[hhhhgoteam]

i bought one and did the gy6 (150cc) swap and stretched the crap outta it. skunk is boss at this shit btwwww

[D Garage]

yeah i don't think i will be doing the gy6 swap any time soon.

[boosted_EJ1]
