|
|
I'm looking at purchasing a Honda "Big Ruckus," sort of a dual-purpose 250 scoot. I'm wondering how they are for dirt roads, and overall performance. I'm a bicycle guy, but looking at the Big Ruck to save some gas $$$ and don't want to bother with a bike with manual shift (I know, I know...save your lectures).
Anyone have one of these things? |

:haha: Sorry I don't have experience with scooters. Except when I see sissies riding them without a helmet. Just don't be a squid: http://tinyurl.com/ys8wo9

It has a 250, so it can go pretty fast. So it's a scoot with a 250. Now HELMETS -- those are for sissies. I have a very very hard head.
I've never been remotely interested in scoots until I saw this thing. It's too expensive, though, so I'll probably go with an on/off road cycle and relearn how to use the stupid shifter thing. |

FUNNY you should say that. I have a Dodge, but it's a Cummins and gets almost 20. Plus, it can comfortably seat eight for dinner. |
