Modern Vespa

i have always liked the honda ruckus and how customizable it is; i would love to have one, but it wouldn't be practical for commuting to and from work. I still want the naked, cafe, street fighter look of a ruckus so i was wondering what site would have these kind of parts, also would these fit on a vespa s

There is not much that you can strip off of a new vespa. Maybe the headset cover, glove box, and floor boards. Doing that would leave some of the electrical connections exposed, and they may or may not be connectors to fight off the elements.

You could possibly get a front rack to mount 2 headlights on?

If you really like the Ruckus, you should get one as a second scooter! Sometimes I wish I had not sold mine when I was buying my GTS. It was such a fun scooter even though it couldn't get out of the way of it's self! You would probably enjoy having it around for those rides where you are not in a hurry to get any where.

I can't attest to the ramifications of running a scoot with no headset or floorboards, but I got my ET4 over a year ago with out a glove box, and all the electrics exposed. I have put >10,000 Km on it and had it has been exposed to all elements with no negative effects. It looks so badass without the glove box, it hurts.

Why don't you just buy a big rukus? They make them in a 250cc I think.

Yamah has a new 125cc Zuma for '09. It has a "slight" Ruckus look to it.
