I've been wondering this about Scooters.
Why isn't there a Scooter section? I know Honda Scooters are pretty popular for the Scooter crowd people. I personally want a Ruckus, but nevermind that. What's the deal with no Scooter forums?
Can we post about them here with getting strangled by the sport bike guys?

This is supposed to be a forum for all Honda Powersports...including ATVs and scooters.
I had a Yamaha Zuma for about a year, and I loved it. *shrug*

Where the Government of Washington, D.C. is concerned, scooters are motorcycles.

I like the Ruckus, I'm getting one.
I've had mini-bikes before, and they were lots of fun, so this should be fun too. I hope at least, if not I'll start modding the **** out of it until it is fun.

That's highly debatable.
If the little Powersports in the description makes you think that then we should be talking about watercraft as well. It's called Motorcycles for a reason.

Re: I've been wondering this about Scooters. (Apocalypse)
Hadn't really thought about until now, but that WOULD be fun to mod up and run around on sometimes. You know the old joke, though: How are fat girls and scooters alike? They're both fun to ride until a friend see you.

The Ruckus really isn't the best scooter for practical purposes.
It looks really cool, but you can't lock anything up in it when you leave. Like a helmet.
My Zuma was great. I even rode it in the winter.

Re: I've been wondering this about Scooters. (NidStyles)
The guys in my area who ride scooters try way too hard IMO. They dress like the Mods from the whole ska era with pink overcoats in 100 deg weather. Anyone who puts that much effort into their image has to be gay. They all have motorcycle envy...just not man enough to ride one. And they always cop attitudes and never wave. F*$CK those Clay Aiken wannabes...

I like riding next to them on the road. My gf gets mad at me when I laugh when I see scooters on the road, but they do look so cute ay?

All the new four stroke 50cc scooter engines are pretty weak. Yeah yeah, I know- I mean even as far as 50cc engines go. Any old jog or zuma will put a ruckus or metro to shame.

That's why you drop an engine from a 2-stroke 50cc from a NS50 or Aprilia. That would be a sweet scooter
