theres a guy trying to sell one on Ebay for $10000 stock 09

FourDoor · 08-08-2008, 05:42 PM

Wait list is crazy on these things at the dealerships in Cali. Sucks to have to pay MSRP.

I have a few friends who have them and they look like a blast. If I could find one for a decent price this will definitely be my next 50 project.

I created this thread for posting links to used bikes, locating new bikes, or discussing prices paid on recent purchases.
I will be moving posts on this subject to this thread for now.

Thanks,

This post was meant to be the first in the thread, : ) It was not directed at you or anyone.
If you give me a little room for error while I master these powers..Soon we shall have the forum that can only be described as the "ruckus Rome." Unfortunately it cannot be built in day.

I don't want to be the fired as a volunteer mod on my first day, you can't recover from that type of failure...

I just scored a mint 2003 in MN for $1300 with 1700 miles

FourDoor · 08-10-2008, 10:49 PM

Nice find Wreck. Any ruckus under $2k right now is a steal.

Dj Hunny · 08-11-2008, 12:07 PM

yeah, talk about in demand. Just last year my friend picked up a brand new one for about $2300..now you can't even find a used one around that price...

Damn, if people are buying up Ruckus's, Ninjia250s, and WR250x's like crazy why doesnt Honda release the XR100 Motard here in the states? I think if they did they would sell a ton of them.

I know I would buy at least 180 pounds worth of that ton!

Brad, I suppose scooter are less intimidating than a multi-geared mini motorcycle.
Motorcycle = intimidating
Scooter = tame

Also, parents wouldn't let their kids buy a motorcycle, but a scooter isn't fast or expensive.

I remember in college in the late 80s early 90s, everyone had scooters including lots of the girls due to the demure and tame nature of the Honda Spree scooters. That's probably why the Ruckus is so popular, plus it doesn't look like a traditional scooter.

I wish..honda also got rid of their mid-range scooter (elite 80) so all tha'ts left is the ruckus and metropolitan..

i hear they got rid of the reflex too...lame.

scorpio · 08-11-2008, 04:57 PM

100 mpg.
no "M" endorsement required(depending on state).
****load of aftermarket.
Non-gay scooter looks.

Sad that their only getting popular now because of Rob and Big and crazy gas prices.

Been ruckin' since '05 and loving every minute of it.
It gets ridden more than all my other bikes.
I guess I just like riding something thats actually not faster than me.

dicktony · 09-21-2008, 12:42 AM

Here's one for $500 in Tucson, it would be great for a GY6 conversion. I would buy it if I were closer.
