One piece of commonly accepted bike wisdom is the idea that it’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than it is to ride a fast bike slow. To a degree, that’s true. What’s the point of having the fastest, smoothest, nimblest machine if all you’re going to do is get stuck in traffic jams all the time?
That’s one reason that small-displacement, low horsepower machines like the Honda Ruckus are magnets for customizers (and would-be customizers) who want their own quirky palette for self-expression. While engine swaps in Honda Ruckuses aren’t uncommon, though, most people don’t generally decide to swap engines from rare liter bikes into them.
