Honda Big Ruckus

The Honda Big Ruckus, the PS250, is a 250 cc two-seater scooter with CVT transmission, marketed in Japan for the 2004 to 2007 model years and in North America for 2005 and 2006, and noted for its minimal bodywork and exposed lightweight steel tubular frame like that of the Zoomer. Its minimalist styling, with a painted tubular frame in yellow or silver, black plastic infill panels and two prominent 7-inch headlights, drew colourful descriptions from reviewers, from rugged style to bizarre, naked styling. Honda described its market as ranging from urban deliveries to the back of motor homes and entry-level commuters or a cottage runabout. The water-cooled 249 cc engine has an aluminium head, a 10.5:1 compression ratio, a 30 mm carburettor, electric start and air injection.
