I’ve seriously started looking into Honda Ruckus this morning. 45mph top speed doesn’t seem too bad with 105MPG and easy scooter registration and regulations. 5 bucks gets you a week of driving. ---

Unless you can get a dirt cheap used one, otherwise it won’t cut it. Have you calculated how many miles you will have to ride a new scooter with insurance just to break even? Even with a $500 scooter you won’t be breaking even until next year. ---

Have you calculated how many miles you will have to ride a new scooter with insurance just to break even? Even with a $500 scooter you won’t be breaking even until next year. Very true. For me it would be golden because as is I’m burning through ~$450 a month in fuel just travelling to and from the shop. :ahh Although I couldn’t ride a ruckus. Even buying a used sportbike would be a far step up in MPG’s for me and at least it’d be fun to ride. ---

I can deal with that. Best on the SV was 67 during the MPG challenge. ---

A really good condition ex250 '07- will be around $2k. Don’t even look at the '08+, cause those people buy that overpriced bike new and have no choice but to “try” to sell them used for a stupid price to make up for what they spend initially, after they discover that trying to look like you ride a 600 on a 250 will not fool anyone no matter how loud of an overpriced “exhaust” you have. Actually if you just want a bike to commuter and not use it to impress chicks, you can buy crazy cheap ex500 race bikes that have title and convert them back to street use. ---

Yeah but 2k is out of my price range. When I started looking a few years ago they seemed to be about 500-700 dollars cheaper on average… I’ve looked for the 500s too but I’ve never found one worth buying. I’d even trade the TL, as ugly as it is, for a 250 or 500 if anyone wanted it. Hell the Ohlins on it alone could cover most of the cost of a beat up ninja lol. ---
