true you can always get the ruckus clones for cheapish though somewhere around the 1500-2000 mark after stretch and everything motor on ebay sells for about 2-300 with transmission then you just need to find a frame ect

I'm not an enthusiast but I have a 1983 Honda 50cc Express II. It needs to be restored but is in pretty good condition for its age.

My wife and daughter in law wanted one and I got the opportunity to get this one for nothing so... now I have another project to do.
