The Honda Ruckus doesn’t look like anything else on two wheels because it’s not like anything else on two wheels. A mashup between a scooter, a skateboard, and mini motorcycle, it’s the perfect example of riding your own ride. Plus, it’s a legendary platform for customizing. Tough, minimal, proven, it’s a great way to get around. Because it’s so small and light, it’s a joy to ride in congested urban settings or on places like a college campus. And once you get to where you’re going, its small size lets you park it just about anywhere. The dependable liquid-cooled engine offers awesome fuel efficiency, and with plenty of underseat storage it’s practical too. Two stealthy color choices this year keep it fresh. Once you’ve landed on planet Ruckus, there’s no going back!
