She wants to get in to motorcycling, but doesnt want a big bike so I was thinking of getting her this for christmas

Are these thing street legal, and how fast do they go?!

[annguyen1981]

Is that a scooter or a minibike?

[TadMC]

I kinda like it!

Tad.. that's not a motorcycle.. that's a scooter.. it even says so in the URL... http://powersports.honda.com/scooters/model.asp?ModelName=Ruckus&ModelYear=2006&ModelId=NPS506&bhcp=1



Seriously though, that thing is kinda cool. How old is your sister? And how big? I.e., what would be a "big" bike to her? What about a ninja250? They're street legal, and will show her more of what motorcycling is, versus a scooter. Just my $.02

A friend of mine wants to get one of these   http://www.johnnypag.com/Spyder250.htm

NGFL, I agree with you about not being that much of a motorcycle.  

But,  I figure she could have some "safer" fun with the thing, she lives next to sChOOL, and works like 5 blocks down.  

And she's 19, but I think she'll like it


And, if she's anything like her brother, she'd find a way to do a back flip on a 250.

LMFAO @ the backflip thing.. I'm working on doing a backflip whilst standing on my tank, at roughly 20mph.. but I wear ALL my gear, and only do it in parking lots.. At midnight.. in antarctica...

Hmmm... I still a ninja250 would give her more of a feel for motorcycling.. I didn't look on the website, what's one of those things cost? I know you can pick up a used ninjette for real cheap.. and they're like a GS in that they retain their resale value really well.

As for this 19 year old sister... got pics? I need something to distract me from this 16 year old I can't get out of my head.. she's interested in me.. and seems interesting enough.. just not sure I can get my head around this age difference..

Tad, hit me on AIM, if you've got it, I'm N1ceGysFinshLast, I'm bored, could use a laugh!

AIM is for satan worshipers, so you get no pictures of my sis

Christopher Lowel is soooo freakin sexy.

[TadMC]

Yeah me and him used to take showers together

[ajaxgs]

where do you get these things i just launched my coffee all over my desk

[groff22]

The Ruckus is cool and the Big Ruckus is neat looking too. If I *had* to get a scooter, a Ruckus would be where it's at.

[mike_mike]

i love the honda ruckus scooters. they look like they'd be a blast to ride with those big tires.

[CirclesCenter]

Go for the big rukus, bigger engine, better useful lifespan for her.

[RVertigo]

For the cost of the Big Ruckus, you could buy a motorcycle... (Base MSRP  $5,499)

The Ruckus is pretty cool...   Until you sit on it and muss with the controls...    I suggest checking 'em out in person, then deciding.
