I kinda like the looks of those too. Too bad they don't make a 125 or 150, something that was mildly highway capable. I'd like a scooter someday, but want one with enough oomph to hit 55 or so in a pinch. |

Title: Re: 50cc's of fun... Post by Jerry Eichenberger on 06/09/11 at 11:25:02 Lifter - One of the guys at the airport has a Ruckus. He has over 6,000 miles on it - uses it to run around town, like to lunch, to the bank, etc. Another guy just got another Honda scooter of some name, with 125cc, I think. He says it'll easily hit 60 mph. When I started riding again back in 2008, I first thought I wanted a Honda Silverwing, their big maxi scooter. I still think they are neat, but just way too expensive for how little I ride. I think they are around $10K. The Burman is fast, but all in all, the Silverwing is the better scooter. I was on the Burgman forum for a couple of years, and there was lots of chatter about belt squealing in certain model years that couldn't be remedied, and some other reliability problems. I have a friend who just got rid of a Burgman for a Goldwing. |

I'll always have the S-fourty, but it's not practical or fun suiting up with ATGATT just to run two or three miles at most around town running errands say, mailing a bill or picking up some screws at the hardware store. Some of the gear always for this, but not ATGATT. I think I will start looking into this. |

Title: Re: 50cc's of fun... Post by Serowbot on 06/10/11 at 19:07:31 Rukus would be cool,.. but it's too hard to get to the engine, and the complexity of water-cooling turns me off... I'd rather have the little z-50 monkeybike or a clone... http://honda50.com/g2data/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=3979&g2_serialNumber=1 |
