RUCKUS
AS RUGGED AND INDEPENDENT AS YOU ARE
OFF-THE-LEASH
FUN.
THE SCOOTER BUILT TO HANDLE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.
Honda’s Ruckus® has got some of the best street cred in the scooter world. And one
glance at its minimalist, all-business, urban-warrior look tells you why. But the Ruckus
is also about practicality and fun: Its thrifty 49cc engine gets awesome mileage—
tested at an estimated 114 miles per gallon!** Next, its Honda V-maticTM automatic
transmission means you never have to shift, ever—and you get seamless power in and
out of traffic. An electric starter means you just turn a key, push a button, and you’re
outta there. Add in Honda’s legendary reliability, and the Ruckus is not only a blast—
it’s nearly unstoppable. They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but go ahead
and judge the Ruckus. It’s got nothing to hide, and everything to brag about.
