09 Honda Ruckus only 600mi SoCal $2100

SOLD! But I might buy it back...

I got this to help with the expense of commuting in a 100. It's been great. I've saved a ton of gas and miles on the Cruiser. I'm upgrading to a bigger motorcycle.

Looking to sell my Ruckus in the next 2-3 weeks. I just titled it over to me and it will take 2-3 weeks for the DMV to mail me the title. It's currently plated and insured. Registered through October.

Looking for $2300, fairly firm on the price. These are $2900 after tax and fees at the local dealers. And the 2012s don't come in this satin black color. Honda Ruckuses haven't changed mechanically since 2006. So you'd get a not even broken in yet Ruckus for well under dealer price.

I bought it 3/1/12 with 70 miles on it. Now it has about 500mi. The mileage will continue to increase as I use it to commute 12 miles 4 days a week. The previous owner bought it to commute, then never used it and kept it in his private garage for the last 2.5 years. I keep it in a secure parking deck at work most of the time. It's never even seen rain. The previous owner had the fluids changed and engine tuned right before I bought it. I've changed the engine and gear oil (mobil1 Synthetic) and have only used mobil1 premium fuel in it. New battery is only a month old.

This Ruckus is entirely stock. The stock rear suspension is kind of soft on these so I have an adjustable NYC rear shock that can come with it for a fee. I weigh 185lbs and it's comfortable. Top speed of 45mph. Cruises at 35-40mph no problem. Gets about 100mpg. Insurance for the year is only ~$100 for liability.

In case you were wondering, yes it will fit in the back of a 100.

Damn California, they make you insure these things? Mass lets us ride our 50cc scooters insurance free but $40 every other year for registration. These things are cool, good luck!
 
Is that a new cbr250? How is that thing? I'd like one of those to get 80mpg since my zx7 only gets upper 20s :-(

Yeah it is. This one is the 2011 non ABS.

With that 80mpg only comes 30hp. Which is still enough to beat most cars off the line. The gears are really close together so it requires a lot of shifting in town. Might be kind of boring coming from a ZX7.

I rode it down the pacific coast highway to malibu last weekend it was great for that but its 3k away from redline in 6th gear when going 70mph. So not great for the highway.
 
Yeah but who cares 80mpg lol, I wish mine even got half that, occasionally I will see near 20 if I'm really banging on it, those carbs love fuel for sure haha
