I love seeing all the weird bikes in the parking lot at uni, I often see Z50s, cafe racers, postie bikes with engine swaps etc. I saw this at uni the other day:

 

Honda Ruckus with some kind of engine swap and a huge driveline upgrade, the wheel on the back is 8" wide!

Edit: I should add that the seat only came up to my knee... it's very low.

Can get those swingarm extension kits outta Japan. (of course)

 

Pity they're only 50cc. Someone needs to start importing the BIG Ruckus. 250cc, they can actually keep up with traffic.

that thing is sexy as..!

 

 

Natural selection right there

Ruckus's are ʞ©$ɟen sweet, there just too expensive for a scooter I reckon.

Shady rocks a 1986 Helix 250 import. Still the longest wheelbase of any production motorcycle, ever.

 

Its like riding a couch.

 

I love it. :)

 

That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen. It's great.

longest wheelbase of any production motorcycle, ever.

 

 

 

 

1,692 mm wheelbase

 

In fairness, it is a 1800cc touring bike that weighs ~360kg's dry, so it's in a slightly different class, but, production motorcycle.

think this was in a target catalogue?

I can fix that...

i am really into these stretched Scootz..!

thanks for showing me the Ruckus, too.

am looking into one now

A cheaper alternative to the Ruckus is the ridiculously named Daelim B-Bone... I rode one, liked it a lot.

 

 

Korean, but surprisingly good quality and being a 125cc it will actually keep up with traffic and make it over small hills without having to get off and push

 

In case you haven't picked up on the subtlety I find 50cc scooters frustratingly slow and painful to ride

How much would the rego be on one of them ? Registering the thing as a motorbike just doesn't seem right :/

that looks pure sexy mate..!

and Rob, I'd assume it would be scooter rego, which is cheaper....
