Here's a bare-bones example of two-wheeled transportation that's way too cool to call itself a scooter. Fully equipped to do battle within urban traffic with a thrifty liquid-cooled 49 cubic centimeter engine, electric starter and Honda's easy-to-use V-Matic automatic transmission, this feisty little welterweight is ready to raise a Ruckus—the perfect name for a handy and tough in-town runabout that packs plenty of attitude.
