That Honda Big Ruckus will set you back about $5,500+.
The Ruckus below is only around $2,000 and comes in night Camo color. :lol:

Wonder how they do in the sand. :rotfl:

You could always fork over $8,500+ and get a really cool scooter like this Honda Silverwing with ABS brakes. With a 582cc liquid-cooled four-stroke parallel-twin engine, I bet it will come close to hitting 90-100mph. :shock:

Or, for $1,000 more, you can get an additional 60 mph (not mpg) on the CBR600F4i.

However, insurance is a different topic and is just another reason why I like the Honda Metropolitan II for $1,850.

When we lived in FL years ago, my husband rode a motorcycle and they didn't require insurance. Have the laws changed?

I nearly killed myself on one of those things in Key West a few years back.

Currently, most states are allowing low horse power scooters to go uninsured and unlicensed. Be careful. The Honda Metropolitan II, in the photo above with the Hibiscus print, is set up to do just that, but it's almost identical twin, must be licensed.

Cool :cool: The night Camo would be a nice complement to (and look great towing) SJ's Dune Patrol skiff:

Some guy in our neighborhood here says the limit is 49-50ccs, and there is a mini-industry devoted to dropping more powerful scooter motors in after you are registered so as to skate the law.
