Title: My new daily driver Post by: MyNameIsThien on April 15, 2012, 11:29:06 PM This is my new daily. Yes, it is a 2012 Honda Ruckus. With the rise of gas prices, this thing will save me money on gas big time. My commute to work is only 7 miles one way and driving the Accord was not saving me gas at all. $20 on premium only gave me a little under half a tank, and it would be empty by the end of the week. What better way to save gas then with a RUCKUS.

Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: phunctional on April 16, 2012, 02:54:55 AM You sold the accord?

Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: exelr8 on April 16, 2012, 09:14:03 AM I've been heavily considering trading my four wheeler for a cbr250r to save some on fuel. I wouldn't ride to work though just on weekends
Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: status on April 16, 2012, 10:17:39 AM cbr 250 is the bike every one is getting right now. If you do country just be safe and remember everyone is out to run you over on a bike.
Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: exelr8 on April 16, 2012, 12:07:16 PM See that is where I run into a problem. I know it doesn't have enough power to get out of a bad situation.
Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: Armyguy239 on April 16, 2012, 12:14:48 PM Bad ass! how much did you get it for? I've been wanting to get one, and take it to Dorby. He's a guy here in Miami, that builds them... these are his...

Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: HEcreated487 on April 16, 2012, 02:13:23 PM Nice pick up Thien! I would consider this if my commute was reasonable... Plus HI gas prices are amongst the highest in the nation...
That green Dorby Works Ruckus is pretty gnarly with the clear plexiglass center at the rear wheel :thumbsup: Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: Armyguy239 on April 16, 2012, 02:27:45 PM Yea, when I get mine, I'm takin it to his shop
Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: timot_one on April 16, 2012, 03:30:53 PM Definitely a nice score. I love the boosted and bottle fed ruckus panducky was building a few years back.
Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: status on April 16, 2012, 03:58:50 PM Country everything i hear from honda and people locally and portland who have bought or rode the 250r love it. I think it has the pull enough. i mean you probably cant do 80 and blast off but 65-70 down shift to 5th i image youd be fine. can you test ride one ?
Title: Re: My new daily driver Post by: MyNameIsThien on April 16, 2012, 11:01:08 PM I got it for $3k after taxes and freight. This thing is a fun to ride. I'll mod it later on, but as of right now, I just want to ride and save money on gas. I still have the Accord, but the accord isn't great on gas mileage. The Accord is still burning oil. If the Accord somehow passes emissions this year, I will be building a J36 and S/C it with a MT conversion.
