Sorry, it's just that I can't see myself on one, but I can see a sexy Italian girl cruising through the back streets of Rome on one. I just prefer the Ruckus' function over form look.

So close man, gotta put the exhaust on, and the hard part... tap a fitting into the compressor housing of the turbo for the N75 to plug into.

If it ain't one thing its a motherfucking 'nother.

Actually, with the restrictions removed, I would say it's faster than the Ruckus within logic. Same enigne, roughly the same weight but the Metro is more aerodynamic, less contact patch on the road with the stock Met running gear, the variator is already weighted better than the ruckus, I could go on.

BTW: Your first post has gotten you off to a bad start. This particular thread is a peaceful one so you are lucky. Don't go throwing your opinions around else where on this site. Might want to not throw them around in here either because there are site Vets watching this thread and they have no problem jumping your shit, finding your face/space/twit pics, and then reaming your corn-hole real good.

Otherwise, welcome.

haha thanks. I've seen the hostality on other threads. It's a little funny when you're not the target. If what you say is true, then I may reconsider my thoughts because I've seen cheaper mets around than Ruckus'. Cheapest Ruckus I've seen so far used is 1800. It's just that I had a friend that bought a metro from some chick and it was pink and had girly flower vynil shit on it and his was slow as hell. So all his friends called it the "Metrofag" as a joke. No hard feelings though, of course.

I mean we all got our rights to like and dislike whatever. To all his own. And I would like some advice; would it be better to buy one of those cheap ass 600$ craigslist specials?

Oh, ok thanks. And should I not mind the scratched out vin? Or the fact that he's clueless about it? You didn't have to be a smartass. I don't mean stolen over shit, I just mean the cheaper bikes that need a lil work. Such as carbs needing cleaned and all. Dick

Your friend deserved it for not painting and peeling the graphics.

I've actually debated with these guys about why "we" just don't buy a "Dolsol" (knock-off Ruckus) considering it already comes with a gy6 (QMB139).
{Waits for Heath and Kenny to jump my shit }

It may not be the one that people like to swap, but the parts for a 50cc "gy6" are WAY less expensive, as common as herpes simplex (type 1), and if you blow it up/crash it... another can be had for a FRACTION of the cost of a used Met/Ruckus. Not to mention, just about every Chinese scoot has some form of this engine on it. (The Taiwanese vs Chinese debate is still up in the air).

FOOD FOR THOUGHTZ- If the China/Taiwan parts/scooters were shit, why are so many Rucki' "mutted" by adding chinese/tiawanese parts?

See it is posts like this that are going to get you zero help. Normally I would post pictures to show you how dope mets can look or even help you by giving you some links, but now I think you are on your own now.

Edit: I will give you a little help. Go to Totalruckus.com and start reading, everything you are looking for is on there.

Anyone in the 757 wanna do a group ride this weekend? I have to tune my Tomos this week, running insanely rich and bogging me down.
