When Honda’s Ruckus first came out more than 20 years ago, no one knew it would become a cult classic spawning its own subculture of customizers and enthusiasts. Classified as a scooter, its minimalist appearance, bulletproof Honda reliability, and rugged but functional features make the Ruckus a bestseller. And at $2,899, how could it not be?
Power comes from a 49cc carbureted four-stroke single with liquid-cooling. One of its best attributes is that it gets amazing fuel efficiency, topping 100 mpg more often than not. Power is sent to an automatic Honda V-Matic belt-drive transmission, for twist-and-go simplicity.
Features like the 28.9-inch seat height, helmet holder which locks a helmet under the seat, and plush suspension make the Ruckus a great urban explorer or commuter.
The 2025 Honda Ruckus is available in black or beige for $2,899.
