(I had to rub my eyes in disbelief! Scooters in SUPER STREET MAGAZINE!?)
First of all, thanks to my fellow Hooligan, Casey, who brought this to my attention. After a failed attempt to find this magazine (April 2008) in my local book store, I resorted to Google. It didn’t take look before I found it, where else? None other than the Ruckus Central (thanks RuckRider1!). You can click on the title link to go right to a scan of the whole story… and it’s not like one of those tiny mentions. NO! This was like a FIVE page story! That’s BIG! Reading it will make you want a custom scoot magazine in the US. Even if it were only semi-annual.
Anyway, you’ve gotta see it for yourself. It features at least 4 customized and tuned Rucks with Engine Swaps (I don’t know what they got in there, but it’s no Honda 49cc. Something cooked up by MRP), and all kinds of aftermarket goodies.
First, Super Street, then what? Biker? Easy Riders? RebelRodz? Actually, that last one would be pretty cool! They already did a Rat Beemer:

You wanna see how they perform? Check out Joel’s visit to KillerScooter!
Oh, hehe. And Joel, the man behind MRP, caught wind of this story and submitted a photo of himself chillin’ with the bruthas of Killer Scooters. Nice shop name by the way. Thanks Joel!

Any idea where one might go in Chicago to customize their 80cc Elite? I’ve been thinking of that rather than buying bigger… this year.

I went out and bought a copy of Super Street at Krogers and got it home only to realize I bought May 2008 instead of April.
At least it came with a life size girly poster.

An acquaintance of mine hybridized a 50cc Ruckus frame with the rear subframe of a Honda Silverwing 600. It’s an incredibly fast bike.

Ruckus is sold by Honda but the ones you see here are highly modified.
