Strange video, it hardly showed the bike. I bet Honda does check this forum for marketing information. It is a walk through the heads of Ruckus lovers. This bike in olive green is so tough looking... like a hummer in bike form.  |

Not sure of the top speed yet. It should be near 75, we'll see. It may be a waste but at least it's not a knockoff Chevy Tahoe  The first Hummer was the man machine The H2 is a fake Element  |

Those hummers offend me to no end. I can't help but flick off every hummer I see. I don't do it on the scoot, they'd kill me (people who drive hummers are evil...they'd drag babies behind them if it'd make 'em more money)
If the big ruckus was 3 grand less, I'd be the first in line. Right now I'm really intrigued by the Yamaha tw200. That looks like it'd rock, some of the japanese aftermarket parts for it are fantastic.

Funny you mentioned the TW200. We are going to start selling that stuff. It was super popular in Japan but it's starting to taper off. It is cool and you can get loads of stuff for it Hey Vish, what's the beef with the Hummer? The Element almost gets the same gas mileage |

Yeah, but an Element has loads of practicality and you can get one for about 50 grand less.

I dunno, the guys on American Chopper or whatever, the Tuddles or however it's spellt, they got a H2 or 2... I don't think their evil... just not too bright... but plenty entertaining...

The evil lurks beneath. Its not the 'cobra commander' type evil, but an equally deviant variant of the same thing. Anyone remember that fuss a year or so ago about "what would jesus drive?" Well, I'm thinking satan would own a fleet of hummers...sounds like arnie!

Big Ruckus should be out sometime in December. Can't wait to see one. There won't be any deals on them as there is only about a $400 markup on a $5,000 bike. The Suzuki Burgmann 400 is a better deal as far as bike for the money: but of course the Ruckus has more character/attitude. |

I've only heard bad things about those burgmans. They're ugly too...

I think the Honda Reflex, Silver wing and the Suzuki Burgmann are all great looking futuristic scooters. The statement " you've heard bad things about the Burgmann" comes with what authority? Heard from who? What are the specific problems? All the tests I have read on the scooter says it's mechanicals especially the transmission are light years ahead of Honda's old technology belt drive auto.  |

Cool it you guys  Hey, Vish hates belt drive too. I rather like Honda belt drive. It's easy to tune. It does take some of the punch out of the engine. Think of a Honda scooter like a Lexus car. It's doesn't feel fast it just is ;D |
