scooters...?

**DominicG** · 03-18-2008, 12:02 AM

Well, we all know the FJ's fuel mileage sucks, and as a daily driver, it just doesn't cut it (for my wallet at least). So, i need a new toy. No, i'm not getting rid of the FJ (i will have it until we run out of gas)..

I've been looking for a dual sport dirtbike for a few weeks now and cannot even find a used one for a nice price. Now i am looking at scooters.. yup, a damn scooter. How embarrassing it will be to ride.. i don't know, but i can easily wear a full face helmet to cope.

This is what i have narrowed it down to, the 08 Honda Ruckus.

It looks semi cool, and Rob and Big ride them. 100mpg. a/t tires, and off-road like headlights

Any comments? pros and cons?? Any other recommendations?

Thanks

Hey now, I could do something like this. Alot better than the Honda Spree that was the rage when I was like 15, lol.

How much are these running???

Heck yeah, I have a 5 min drive to work. This would be awesome.

Looks like a mini-bike on steroids, lol.

seriously i could drive to work and school for probably 2 weeks or more on a gallon of gas, lol.

I'm very serious about this too. My daughter just got her driving permit. Looking at getting her hardship so she can pick her brother and sister up from school. I would drive this and let her take the FJ to school.

DominicG, i have been looking at these too! My job is about a 5 minutes drive from my house with no traffic. With traffic and sitting idling i could save soo much gas driving this everyday. There is a place near my house says they are 1899

Aren't these the ones that Mikey and Vinnie from OCC had? If they are, Vinnie souped up his and it hauled @ss.
