2006 Honda Big Ruckus Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2006 Honda Big Ruckus relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.7 x 60.0 mm (2.9 x 2.4 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Big Ruckus measures 164.2 kg (362 lbs) dry.

The 12.11-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
