2005 Honda PS250 – Big Ruckus

This 2005 Honda Big Ruckus is considered by many to be “The Unicorn” of Honda scooters.  It was produced only for two years in 2005-2006,  a 250cc water cooled engine, retractable seat back, this is a unique model of motor scooters Honda is famous for.  We are told this Bug Ruckus was found for sale in the Mid West from it’s original owner in 2007 and had approximately 2200 miles at that time showing.  It lived the it’s life on San Juan Island ever since and now has just over 17,000 miles.   It had been serviced by its owner over the years, but we wanted our service crew to perform a full service including valve adjust and new air filters.  It has had two driveway mishaps but really minor and neither one was at any speed.  We have 2 original keys, the owner’s and service manuals, and a clean WA title

PRESS

Perhaps the designers at Honda were bored. Perhaps there was a military contract they were trying to attain. I can just picture it now, the phone call from a ranking officer to the poor schmuck who handles the new equipment contracts: “We need a new vehicle for Iraq… It’s gotta be big, and made of pipes, and it has to able to pull a tank out of a ditch… and don’t forget it has to look like a truck. Oh yeah and make it big…really big, yes indeedy, make it huge!”

Honda’s Big Ruckus has the most comfortable seating layout imaginable without resorting to a La-Z-Boy. The set up includes a very comfortable seat with a padded backrest. The backrest drops to become a pillion seat when riding two-up, which is effortless and comfortable for everyone involved. Your feet rest on forward mounted plates similar to those on most cruiser style motorcycles. The aforementioned seat also slides to allow simple adjustment. Unlike most Honda’s we have tested, the Ruckus has a factory-installed side stand to compliment a well-balanced center stand. You pretty much just slide into the Ruckus 250 as you would your favorite armchair, put your feet up and ride. The engine, although not especially potent, provides a reasonable range of momentum through the rev range and has plenty of acceleration to pass most cars at city speeds and will comfortably cruise on the highway. One note about highway driving however: this is a very naked bike, which means plenty of punishing wind, especially at highway speeds.
