The Globe and Mail: Hipster scooter evolves to almost cult status: “The Little Ruckus has evolved into almost cult status and is as hip as a cellphone camera or wireless internet. People love its industrial chic/minimalist styling and it’s one of Honda’s best-selling scooters.

With a 49-cc, liquid-cooled, single overhead camshaft, one cylinder engine, constant velocity carburetor and belt-drive transmission, the Ruckus develops somewhere in the neighbourhood of five horsepower, and is another one of those trouble-free city runabouts that you just get on and ride.”

Oh… By the way… If you like that custom Zoomer (little ruckus), you should see more from Tokyoparts.

    I personally think the thing is hideous, but I do understand it’s appeal. I minded it less when I saw it in person.

    I used to think the Ruckus was butt-ugly until I saw this Yamazaki custom. Really, I’m in love now. I think I’m going to ask permission to mirror the images on TheScooterScoop. Can you deny the seckzyness of this little scoot?
