Here is some photographic evidence of my addiction. Parental discretion is advised. My first Ruck, modded by previous owner.
My rebuild of the first Ruck. Second rebuild of the Ruck. Third attempt at a rebuild. Bought a Met/Ruck cause it was for sale. Rebuild number four of the same Ruck. Took the Met/Ruck apart and made it a Ruck again. Kinda bought another Ruck cause it was also for sale. Keeping it stock for now. The black Ruck as it looks today. The Camo Ruck as it looks today.

Thanks for the welcome. The white Ruck is my daily rider and also the fastest. I might at some point rebuild the Met/Ruck, but it will have a GET motor on it when I do. When I find the build pics for the black Ruck, I will post them in the Build section.

Pancakes, you can switch out that stock front wheel for a 12’’ right? Still fits under the fender?
Gonna do a metruck, but mine’ll be a GY6. Can’t do no fiddy.

lilpenny, my Met/Ruck had a 10 inch wheel from a Metropolitan or a Spree, but in order to fit a 12 inch(or a stock Ruckus wheel)you will need a Ruckus triple tree. Also the Metropolitan fender will need to be modified because the Ruck tree is wider, or you could use a Grom fender instead.

Howdy! Nice lookin bunch o’ Rucks you’ve got there. Thank you. But as much as I'm addicted to Rucks, this will always be my favorite Honda scooter. 1986 CH150 Deluxe, got it in 2014 from first owner with 110 original miles.

Nice collection. Funny thing I was just looking at the price of Ruckus. I can't believe how expensive they still are. The Zoomer as it's called here was only sold for a few years. The cheapest one is still £1,500!!!!

The cheapest one is still £1,500!!!! That Honda badge is keeping the prices up for sure. In 2017 I bought a used black 2015 model with 2k miles on it and I paid $1800 for it. And that was the cheapest I could find in my area. Some used stock models were going for $2200-$2800 in Philadelphia, PA. |

That £1,500 was for a 2001 year model too. I think we only got them for three years.
I guess being expensive when new, and a short production run here, is keeping the prices crazy. An equivalent Aerox is about £500.
