Default Oh god help me, i'm thinking of buying a Ruckus.

I went with a friend to look at Jet Skis, and off in the corner they had the coolest little thing i'd ever seen... a Honda Ruckus. I didn't even know what it was at first, i thought it was some left over stock from 1943.

I didn't sit on it (The paper sign told me not to), but i'm 6'2 and about 190lbs, will i look like a total joke riding this thing?

I saw the other thread, but it's for the Big Ruckus. One of the main reason i'm interested in the ruckus is that it's 49cc meaning no insurance/tags/registration/etc.

Try taking one for a test ride. Its actually quite fun. Almost dropped it first turn I made though because it threw over so fast that I wasn't expecting it.
