Big Bore Pros & Cons: Pros: Ruckus now actually performs like you previously WISHED it would. ;D Faster acceleration; easily leave cars behind when stop light changes. ;D Hills that I could barely reach the top still going 15 mph I now go up without any loss of speed. With extra speed I’m able to keep up with traffic & cars no longer tailgate me.  Able to sit straight up while easily exceeding previous top speed of 40 mph. Top speed increase to well over 45 mph (can’t exactly tell for sure yet; need new speedo).  Was really fun pulling away from the Porsche Boxer tailing me on a local road (OK, so he passed me later – what did you expect?).  Sounds awesome with Yosh muffler.  Cons: Need to buy full face helmet - bugs hurt at 45+ mph & wide grin allows bugs to get in teeth.  Need to get new speedo as stock tops out at 40 mph. Need to buy new tires as stock Kendras don’t corner/lean too well at 45(?) mph. Difficult (if not impossible) to keep it under speed limit.  Cost of $300 + approximately $300 to install (if you pay someone to do it) - BUT worth every penny. Must pay 30 cents more per gallon for premium gas. So fun to ride, hard to turn around and go back home. Wife thinks I’m crazy.  |

Well said It's surprising the difference an extra 8.7cc makes. |

Yeah, I was upset Chanito didn't make it up to our ride, I wanted to see what ole Katrina could do. |

Another Con:
New riding style may require addition of disc brake.

Yeah...it sucks having to cover up your rim with a big one of these:  Show off Another advantage of the big bore is that you will be helping a fellow ruckster get his dream vacation on the mountains of Tennessee, and Kamino to test Katrina But being able to take out fast is a big plus of the BB |

i got the pirate sticker right here from the Total Ruckus Store: www.cafepress.com/totalruckus?s=totalruckus&type=50I think Spoonkiller runs the store. Buying the products support TR too! The pirate print also comes in a t-shirt (highly recommended by Ruckdog!):  |
