I bought my Honda Ruckus used and it was modified with a polini variator and a daytona kevlar belt. It went about 40-45 when I got it, but as I had it for a couple of years the top speed fell to about 30mph and I was holding up traffic. It was super reliable and fun to ride. I now have a Yamaha Zuma 125. It keeps up with traffic at no problem going about 55-60mph. But it is made in Taiwan and the Ruckus was a better machine because It was made in Japan. I'm getting back into MBing because I feel safer on the sidewalks going really slow on a MB than being on the road with my Zuma 125 with cars. With a Ruckus you don't need a Motorcycle endorsement or insurance. With a Zuma 125 you do.
