I’m not really the biggest Honda Ruckus fan, I mean they look kind of neat modified, but I think people always look a little weird riding one.
I am however a big fan of ‘large motor in a small vehicle-are you sure this was a good idea-how the hell are we going to stop this thing-watch out for that pole’ type projects such as this.
Technically this scooter isn’t a Ruckus, it’s a Dolsoe -a Tawainese replica of a Ruckus- and while most people hate replicas this was built on a replica because it used a 100% steel frame instead of the Ruckus’ Auburn like aluminum front end and steel rear.
An all steel frame comes in handy when you need to hack it up to put a 600cc GSXR motor and transmission where a much less potent motor once lay.
Built by rotorracing on totalruckus.com this ‘knock off’ is now sporting an extended frame, custom hubs, custom tank, custom exhaust, custom… well you get the idea.
It’s basically a completely custom motorcycle that resembles a scooter.
And because this would be useless without video:
I guess that does look kind of fun…build is here
