Engineered by Honda for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2007 Honda Rukus relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant.
On the scales, the Rukus measures 82.1 kg (181 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 734 mm (28.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,265 mm (49.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.92-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
