Honda Ruckus or Honda Monkey ???

I had a friend that had the Ruckus. It was a nice in town or light trail duty scooter. I rode it for about 7 miles on some local country roads with my wife on the back to The Iroquois Cafe for wings and spirits. It took forever to get there and seemed even slower on the way back. The Big Ruckus is much better for short trips and "grocery getting." The Ruckus was great to ride through the timber on our friends property or a short trip to the neighbors.
