As motorcyclists, we’re a fun-loving bunch and take pride in doing stupid shit as long as it doesn’t get us killed. For example, taking our bikes where they simply have no business going.
I remember a time I took my Yamaha MT-07 to the beach and got it very stuck near the shore. And that time when I took my Triumph Street Triple RS through what could only be described as an enduro trail. Fun times.
But as much as I consider myself an adventurous dude who’ll ride anywhere his bike can physically take him, there’ll always be more extreme, more adventure-minded folks out there. Enter Dual Dorks, a YouTuber and dual-sport and enduro enthusiast who one day woke up and decided that the Honda Ruckus made for the perfect exploration dual-sport.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Ruckus, this thing’s a scooter. Yes, a literal scooter with a tiny 49cc engine and 10-inch wheels. That’s exactly a third of the displacement of most entry-level dual-sports, and wheels that are half the size. Sounds pretty capable, doesn’t it?
