🚨BIG Life Updates!! | 2022 Honda Ruckus

[@SanProsan1993]

My birthday is August 3rd. So on my 28th birthday I got myself a 2020 Ruckus with 2600 miles, for $1200 on Craigslist. I'm 315 pounds, and it comfortably does 35-38mph, with occasionally dropping to 25-30mph on uphills. Love this thing, and I'm only a few hours into ownership.

[@joeywillis4114]

You got a great deal!!

[@ernesto231]

This is the comment I needed before getting one lol I’m 290 pounds

[@krazykreator7127]

@@ernesto231 I’m 297 me as well

[@jasonsharpbucks]

Oh nice I thought I was going to have to lose 40 pounds🌮🍕🍔

[@Prestigiouswork]

I needed this comment as well considering I am 6’2 at 260 pounds I was very skeptical about purchasing one of these thinking that I would be too heavy for it to get up to a decent speed I’m going to go look at a 2022 ruckus today in hopes of purchase

[@Prepare2Survive]

I have a 2020 Ruckus. I added a Cycle Racks rear rack that I mounted a " CRAFTSMAN VERSASTACK System 17-in Red Plastic Lockable Tool Box " that I got at Lowes for 30 bucks because it fits my full face helmet. I also mounted a " CleverMade CleverCrate 45-Liter Collapsible Utility Crate in Grey " to the top of the toolbox that I got at Bed Bath & Beyond for 15 bucks and that allows for even more storage when it's needed. Otherwise it stays folded flat and out of the way.

[@edwinaguilar4050]

Congrats on the house brother! Can't wait to see you transition from Vans to the all white slightly grass stained lawn mowing shoes with the ankle high crew socks. I can picture all the home equipment/ modification vids now! I am here for it!

[@TalonSei]

Oh yeah 😎

[@Darthmed0516]

So, you said this was “somewhere in Colorado”. As a frequent visitor from Iowa, will this carry you on roads like Fall River Road in Estes Park, or Rampart Range Road/Gold Camp Rd in Colorado Springs?

[@kb9liq]

Got an 2007 one sitting in the shed I have not rode for 7-8 years now. Has less the 500 miles on it if I remember right, Was fun to ride for sure

[@Dowells_nest]

Just keep giving fresh content. We never know what's coming and that's what is dope about your vlog.

[@Surge891]

Congrats on building your home ! And it’s awesome that you got a ruckus !

[@johnberry2877]

My new crf450r is a blast to rip on . However, my ruckus is a absolute blast to explore and cruise around on. And like a typical Honda, it will never let you down or make you walk! The best parts are insane MPG, no insurance, and just straight up fun!

[@bc8650]

Definitely want to see the building process! And Home Onwership process! Awesome content! Love your videos!

[@countrygromer]

Happy Belated Birthday!! The Ruckus was my first love and then the Grom pulled me down the rabbit hole.

[@750katman]

I have a 2020 ruckus bought with only 240km on odometer , i love it . It now has 1500km on the odometer and it continually gives me smiles

[@pstkschmdt6455]

Happy belated birthday dude. Home building, etc videos would be cool, but I understand you wanting certain things to remain private. Either way, congrats!

[@michaelc5019]

Get a lowered seat frame. 5g Dr. Pulley Sliders and a Polini Variator. CDI after those mods. You'll be glad you did

[@SanProsan1993]

Question... If you've done these mods... How is the speed and torque now?

[@michaelc5019]

@@SanProsan1993 / Torque and 50cc engines aren't synonymous correlations. What those mods do is raise your top RPM once you've reached top out and increases your top speed. The CDI eliminates the top speed govern allowing the motor to rev higher thus more speed. It's a balancing act. Your tuning for rider weight and rpm to reach maximum mph. 5g Dr. Pulley Sliders are a good baseline to start at but max rpm and mph can't be reached without getting a CDI. I have Matt's over at Rolling Wrench Denver CDI/EVI myself and recommend that. Check his KZbin channel out

[@SanProsan1993]

@@michaelc5019 My Ruckus has a NCY CDI from previous owner, but it still always hits a wall of limiter at 38mph... I was under impression that CDI removes the limiter. Am I wrong?

[@michaelc5019]

@@SanProsan1993. Your right. CDI should remove the limiter and the install must be working or the bike wouldn't start. Did he do a variator and weights at all? Check tire pressure as well. Inflate to 37 psi. Tire pressure WILL bog down a bike if inflation is wrong

[@payne540]

I vote for the transmission upgrades to tune to your weight, then a small stretch, lowered seat and bars, cable tuck for a minimalist look. Then upgrades to the stock engine. I think the stock engine is cooler and probably much more reliable long term than the GY6 swaps

[@grenadegoboom4967]

eww no

[@ShysterDelo]

Congratulations on the purchase! Can't wait to see what you do with the Ruckus.

[@barrybaldwin5535]

In 2009, at 59, I purchased a 3 year old, leftover, new on the showroom floor "PS250 Honda Big Ruckus". It was my sixth cycle addition to my garage stable. My first scooter, my top speed downhill was 80mph & my best gas mileage was 80mpg, just not at the same time, lol. It was a howl to own & ride. It had a flip up passenger pillion that converted to a backrest & the frame tubes were exposed with the drivetrain fully enclosed in plastic panels between the tubes. I ended up trading it along with 2 of my other bikes, for the "2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber", 1200cc parallel twin, with a tractor pan saddle, for a hot sticky weather hooligan bike. I now own that & a 2007 Suzuki 1250 Bandit, which is my sport touring bike. What's wrong with 2 1200's in the garage? I'm still giggling inside my helmet each time I ride either one!!!

[@adventurehypelife3819]

Ive own 3 Ruckus and allI I can say is good luck going crazy on all the after market parts you can do to it!

[@shoemann810]

Can't wait to see the house vids and the RZR build vids too, I'm here for all the contents!

[@notnotjake]

Rode one of these at Key West around town. Loved it!

[@keithfilbert6937]

Congratulations on the home build, this is awesome!

[@BS-gj1ph]

Nice video. May I know which mic and camera combo you are using? Sounds great looks fantastic. Thank you.

[@TalonSei]

Thanks man, this is everything you want to know. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f16rq6CVjLyBedE

[@thomasjefferson1081]

I have the Big Ruckus a 250cc . They only made them in 05 and 06. You could probably find a Ruckus Club. I went on a ride with one in Orlando but rode my old Vespa P200e. They were mostly converted to 150cc and one guy had one with a Honda Silverwing engine and nearly murdered himself showing off. Good times to be had in the scoot life. It’s a culture with many sub sects for whatever you ride.

[@devildog65]

I know the original author probably won’t read this, but I just bought a 2022 Ruckus and it looks exactly like his. I wanted the blue and white model but I ordered it in April for my BD in May and it just showed up last week. And they got 3 Ruckus’ in and they were all gray. I didn’t want to wait anymore because I’ve wanted one since I first saw one last year. Such a smooth ride!! Oh yeah, Thumbed and Subbed!

[@Max-pj1bo]

The building process would be cool to show. Been thinking about building a home or doing a prefab on my next home.

[@chriswiliams89]

Never wanted a scooter until now. Thanks Talon lol. Also congrats on the house! I’d be one of the people that’s interested in seeing some photos or videos of it.

[@bobklett2514]

Same on the scooter!

[@saddboi2917]

Fuck yeah @Talon Sei Just Picked mine up for my 21st birthday I’ve wanted one since I was 10 super fucking stoked🙌🔥

[@handykevin]

i am also looking at Ruckus and wondering do we need insurance?

[@TheJennflip]

What state you building in??? 2A friendly hopefully!!!!

[@joshjjjjj25]

I used to have a stretched honda ruckus back in college, loved it

[@mixflip]

Slow but fun! Great for exploring quietly urban or camp site.

[@tonightwerideee]

My birthday is on July 26th and I'm getting myself one! See you all when I do!! I'm so excited. I've had one before and this bike is grossly underrated.

[@Mink_24]

Great news on the house … looking forward to the shop tour but only share what you are comfortable with on the house … totally respect that privacy and you share so much … Ash on the Rukus & Talon on the Grom … I am here for that …

[@jonathonnordyke5370]

i going to school for architecture so if you did share the home build that would be dope!! but if not all good man love what you do! keep it up man!

[@mtnnomads]

Hey congrats on the house build and the Ruckus and future Honda Grom! I think I need a Honda scooter of some sort too!

[@KingMusa99]

Congratulations on the New home build. Looking forward to garage videos at the new place totally respect wanting to keep things private

[@michaelgillette883]

I would love to see vlogs on the house build. Congrats!

[@renniesmith8073]

Are you moving to Colorado? You seem to like it there?

[@chappie7523]

The Ruckus is such a rad scooter!

[@MidWesti]

Nice! I live in Broomfield. About 30 min from where ur at in the video. You building in CO? My wife and I are trying to buy a house but the market is INSANE. If you build in CO ill get a ruckus and we can start a club hahah.

[@reedelliott3301]

Definitely interested in the comparison of the ruckus to the grom.

[@ivanbayarri2807]

Great bike i just bought one for my sprinter van. Best hog to move around the village once you are camp. Good luck with your new house Saludos from Madrid Spain

[@generaltank8908]

Congrats on the house. You building in PA or moving to Colorado? Does the ruckus fit in the Sat Van?

[@qikaz]

There's a picture in the video of it in the van where he kept his mountain bike.

[@grahamchan4266]

Cool review! Is it possible to carry a passenger? I weigh about 145 and my partner is 110. But is there much room?

[@swifttekneekty237]

Yo I did the same thing. I bought myself a Honda ruckus 2022 for my birthday two months ago. I love riding my Honda ruckus!

[@jamilnewman4198]

Congratulations.... That's awesome! I'm excited to see the new at home project content.

[@loveitorleaveit6868]

How are those drum brakes? Does this question get answered in the video? Do I need to watch this to find out?

[@nolehopkins1077]

Damn dude Doing big things. Glad you're in Colorado. I'm down in the Springs

[@Sajin688]

I run 41 with mine no problem and it launches better than yours did, it's a 2020 and I changed to a continental belt and 9 .g Dr pulley sliders. She launches good tops out at 41-42 on flat land, it also doesn't drop off in the wind or up hill like it did before with stock rollers. I also run higher quality fuel, I found pump gas the quality is terrible and inconsistent and that drastically effects performance. With the quality fuel I use I get a good clean full fuel burn so no black carbon buildup all over everything unlike if I use dirty pump gas. Want any other tips or any questions feel free to message me anytime

[@dannyrowe6506]

Been with ya from the start,still liking the content. You are mixing it up, makes it interesting. Ruckus - 70 cc bigbore kit, and brakes. Later, Danny

[@marcbrooks3817]

Congratulations my brother are you staying East or coming West?

[@jerseyjohnny4343]

Will you be on the east coast any time soon with the sat van

[@Ender7567]

The SAT Scoot!

[@juhsitfy153]

Love all the new ideas coming hope I get to see at the NRA n Houston

[@dustinsheets1945]

I wish they would release a 80cc or 100cc model. Congrats on the house, definitely interested in house updates.

[@Blkojo]

Exactly. A 100cc model...fuel-injected...would be awesome.

[@c0mradeVlad]

Really enjoyed this vid! Looking to buy this model and color myself once spring hits. Would love to see an update on it as I couldn’t find one if you did yet!

[@mattthayer]

Definitely interested in some house videos!! Congrats!

[@rad2062]

I recently came across your chanel and I'm enjoying your content. I also saw your vid on Raceseng tow hooks (about 3 yr old) so I got in touch with the guys and odered ones for front and back of my XV. They look fantastic and very pracrical, so thanks for the tip. And they even ship to Australia. Keep up the good work.

[@travel4food4life]

Wow Is it shot with Insta360 GO 2

[@Dragon-yw4xw]

I rode similar scooter in Beijing when I was in college. Great memories. This kind of scooters are good for big cities, not good for highway and suburban areas

[@martylucas8557]

Hi Talon, I feel you should start showing the house build. If you haven’t done so already…take a look at Off the Ranch’s, We Bought an Abandoned Mansion series. He gets so many views, it’s crazy. People are just into watching videos that show progression, like your Van videos that show the various upgrades and add ons.

[@backwoodz1269]

Honestly anything content wise that you do will be a success and I’ll be watching. Congratulations on being a home owner

[@Johndoe-qk6fi]

You must have a.d.d. its cool me too im getting a ruckus. im somewhat of a creative person im gonna cram a 8inch sub under the seat somehow i bought a ruckus with the intent on making a ruckus make a ruckus lol its gonna be a hell of a ride. Ill need to upgrade the battery and or entire power delivery system ill just put an identical lithium under the seat by the amp and bridge them to get more depth so when i hit a bass note it doesnt stall lmao its gonna be nuts

[@brendansmith8319]

Hope you're building in Moab. Would be curious in the build process especially if in a rural area rather than city/suburb. Best of luck in the new home!

[@jakevesso9733]

got one of these hella fun to rip around the neighborhood

[@Kratos_Ragnarok]

Thank you much for the video, This is great info, do you need a license plate , insurance and a bike DL for ruckus?

[@TalonSei]

Depends on where you’re from

[@nwjavahead]

Congrats man!

[@TalonSei]

Thanks man 🤘🏼

[@EDC_USA]

I bought the same one a day before you posted the pics LOL. same color too. i got 120 on mine, in PA... lots of hills near me so, first fill up was at 100 and the light didn't come on yet took a little less than a gallon.

[@remy333]

Between the Grey Sprinter and the grey Ruckus, you’re livin the dream. Nice birthday gift to self. I’m doing the same come bonus season.. and got the same black Vans and similar tattoos… I think we’ve become a cliché. 😬

[@deanjollow2892]

Taking the scooter on your event tours?

[@eo8513]

Scooter Swap Shop in Milwaukie, Oregon does some amazing things to scooters. Great reviews of their service and love the wheelie videos.

For everything you share with the world, there is so much we don’t see! It’s great knowing that you keep a few cards close to the chest! But I do have to say, seeing the house progression would be cool to see as well! Share only what you want but just know, we would love to see all you want to share. Keep it up man!

I appreciate that man 🙌🏻

[@squidscouch2169]

I just bought mine. It’s fun af. Also talon Only put non ethonal in it or the carburetor won’t last long otherwise it will last forever

[@sethl8309]

Great to hear your building a house, hope your going to still stay local here in pa. Been hoping to run into you since i seen one of your vids at my local range before you built yours. But where ever you settle and however long you roam hope you have safe travels.

[@anthonyferretti737]

Congrats Talon, next u need a bush plane

[@Andre_Albert]

Happy belated birthday and congrats on the Grom and the house! I'll look forward to reviews of home-related stuff and things... and more van videos... and more zx10r vlogs... and everything else. 👍👍

[@fredf9562]

Great news on the new home!! So perhaps HGTV may call you along with the Discovery Channel! As to videos on your home’s building process I respect your need for privacy but I think many viewers would enjoy learning about any really cool “stuff & things” that you learn or incorporate in building process. By the way, I’ve never heard you sound so excited before. Enjoy this new adventure!

[@granthoward3296]

That Ruckus is sick. I wish it had a leeeetle bit more power in it so you could go wheelin' with the boys like a sir.

[@TalonSei]

Got other 2 wheeled thangs for that 😬

[@Smallbore2wheels]

Oh, you can wheelie a stock ruckus...just gotta stand up on the rear frame. Also it comes stock with hand rear brake so you're already half way to stunting lol

[@brandonewoldt]

New house build, yes please ✊😃 Love that stuff!

[@simplygaming2]

Some house building updates would be dope!

[@naterhen2803]

lets see some modded lawnmower vids

[@mikenonya3167]

See. The perspective before buying makes a difference. I also had a Ninja/Ruckus combo (traded the ninja recently for a car purchase, ill have another someday). But I got my Ruckus FIRST and than later on got a Ninja 300. So the acceleration and speed on the scooter was never a big deal for me being that it was my first 2 wheeled ride. And it made the Ninja better only being a 300 because the fastest 2 wheels I had before that was the Ruckus. Had I got a fast bike and THAN the Ruckus, I'm sure it may have disappointed me. But I absolutely love my Ruckus. Odometer is at 7500 miles as of right now. And ill never sell it.

[@browniepudding8315]

I’m looking for one in Canada found a shop in Ontario hoping they can ship me a new grey one asap

[@jaredschutz8486]

Love it! I personally wear ATGATT even on my 49cc mopeds. Even just gloves will save one from a lot of trouble, but of course a riding jacket, pants and shoes/boots, and helmet are the best combo
