Scooters?

[Arctic Pride]

Anyone have a little scoot for around town? Vespa, Ruckus e/t/c? 2 up worthy?

I got my KTM 390 for town stuff, it was a lot more fun on the twisties than I imagined it so became more of a bike than I imagined it would be too

@scooterwuf has one he rides with his wife. Maybe he will chime in with what it is. He talks about it in the interview I did with a couple of months ago.

Mines bigger than a Ruckus, and Vespas come in all sizes from Classical (50 -125cc), Sports (150-250cc), to Maxi (300-800+cc), so I guess it depends on your needs. But, hell yeah! They’re a blast. 50cc might be a challenge for 2-up (depending on the size of the riders). Anything higher and you’re good.

Not a scooter but been toying with getting a smaller grom style bike OR another Enduro as I miss mine!

I had a 50cc scooter at 16 and they are fine if your not trying to exced about 30mph. I didn't filter on it but being small I'd imagine it would be pretty good. It wouldn't have been any good 2 up though. A 125cc sooter maybe

Yes scooters are perfect for scooting around town.

I've never been a scooter guy but I have a couple of old Suzuki mopeds that I've been toying around with. I've also worked on a couple Honda mopeds from the 60's they're a blast to ride and I really kinda want one now lol

I like the retro styling of the older ones however a few young lads around my area have newer scoots with straight pipes!!

Such an awful sound! Drives the dogs mental hahaha

Oh that's just blasphemy who thinks that sounds good

 

[scooterwuf]

Sounds like they might be 2-stroke bikes. Mine's pretty quiet.

the scooter idea is to also break the lady into riding. Our neighbor has a 76 Vespa 150 2 stroke, problem is he can't get it registered, I gave him some ideas but if he can't make it work I might snag it.

It may be too old in terms of its exhaust emission. The scooter originally was created as a low cost alternative to cars, and for the masses.

Yup, I have a Honda Ruckus with a 150cc engine swap on it. Lowered/stretched/custom wheels etc.

 

[scooterwuf]

There's a HUGE Ruckus following out there. It maybe the favorite 50cc bike on the road.

Honda Cub. They use it for everything. Deliveries, daily commute, fixing up. Honda sold over a million cubs world wide.

My old Honda 125 PCX was more fun than the RSV4 and V4S combined. Miss it.
R.I.P.

I ride a ruckus Daily to work and back. One take of gas (1.2gal) gets me to work for a week! I love it

 

[scooterwuf]

A full tank (roughly less than 3 gallons) can last me 7 - 9 days on my commuting schedule.

isn't it amazing I love being able to ride a week on a tank. THEN i drive the car and think... the gallon it takes me to drive my car for one day could drive me for almost a week
