2007 Honda Scooter reviews

I picked up an '07 Honda Ruckus. I always wanted one and couldn't find a good deal until last week at a dealership, an '07 with 1,500 miles on it for $1,350. Wow, I didn't think twice on this and bought it. Love it!!! $6.00 for a 3-year tag required in Colorado to ride it on the streets. This will be my new street and camping (TOY) commuter. This is a keeper for sure. Show less

I have had an '84 V-30 Magna and a '93 Nighthawk 750, and I loved both of those bikes, but I had to give up riding motorcycles because my feet became paralyzed and I could no longer shift gears or pull the clutch lever in safely. I was blessed to find a 2007 Honda Reflex sold as used with only two miles on the odometer. I love this scooter even more than my past motorcycles. It gets 70 mpg, will do 80 mph and gets attention where ever I go. My helmet stores under the seat. I can barely walk, but when I am on this scooter you would never know it, except for the handicapped tags on the back. This is the best purchase I ever made. Show less

I have ridden many bikes in my 30 years, sports bike, curisers, and dirt bikes, but this is by far the most comfortable bike that I have ridden. It has enough power to keep up with any 600 cc sports bike with a novice rider and out perform any cruiser. This is my last bike unless Honda makes a 750 cc Honda Silverwing, then I will get that to keep up with the sports bike coming out of a curves. Show less

I purchased my Silver Wing ABS 2 years ago and have racked up over 11,500 miles. My dealer had this bike sitting on his floor for quite some time and wanted to move it so he dropped the price. I sold two bikes, a 2002 Honda Reflex 250 and a 2004 Moto Guzzi Breva because the Silver Wing was all the bike I needed. I upgraded to the Silver Wing because in addition to the occasional commute, I wanted a comfortable bike that I could do long distance touring on without the hassle of fitting saddlebags and strapping luggage to the back seat. The Silver Wing accommodates me nicely with a huge underseat trunk as well as my 37 liter Givi topcase, tankbag and two useful gloveboxes. Last summer I did a 9 day, 2500 mile trip to Nevada, Utah, Arizona and back home and had no issues having enough necessities packed away. As for the bike itself, I can't think of anything I'd rather be riding. This bike has smooth, awesome power that can reach 3 digit speeds with stability. It handles great on mountain roads, twisties and long stretches of highway and is always in the right gear. Having to get over to the slow lane to let cars pass isn't necessary because this bike has the power to keep you out in front. The ABS linked brakes do a great job bringing you to a safe controlled stop. With the right tools, the bike is also fairly easy to do basic maintenance such as tire changes, changing brake pads and oil and filter changes. The first valve check isn't due for 16,000 miles. Engine performance has been reliable for 11,000+ miles with no issues. I have gone on large group rides with all different makes and models of bikes and have never felt like I didn't belong. People are amazed that this bike is actually a scooter. I'm sure Honda is in the process of developing a replacement for this baby Gold Wing as this bike has gone unchanged for almost 9 years. They don't need to change much however. This is one awesome motorcycle/scooter. Show less

This is a great scoot! It has unbelievable power. I had thought about getting a cruiser, but once I put this baby on Hwy. 275 and blew past cars, I knew this was it. I added a Givi backrest and a Givi windshield. I pushed it to 113 mph with no problem. The bottom line is that this is a great buy. Show less

I'm a new rider of any type of motorcycle, and was very impressed with the Silver Wing series. I wanted a bike that was easy to handle, not too heavy and reliable with gas mileage. So far I've gotten about 54 MPG, driving moderate at 55-65 mph, and love the ride. I get looks from the BIG bikes, but am admired when I can keep up and out perform them. I've gotten lots of compliments and inquiries by people as I wait at traffic lights. I ordered a larger windshield for my bike and am very satisfied with its performance. I am getting its first scheduled maintenance, and look forward to many more joyful miles of riding. Thanks Honda. Show less

I looked for about a year before purchasing my pink hibiscus Met. I am really enjoying it more than I expected. It is so much fun to ride around town. I live 3 miles from work and most of my activity is within a 20 mile radius from my home. The braking is a little less than I would like and being a taller person, it is not comfortable for hours on end (as I sometimes wind up doing on weekends). But I do not believe you will find any better under 50cc and you will definitely not find any with the Honda reliability. Show less

I initially bought this scooter for a cheap means of hauling my tail to work. Soon after buying it I found myself looking for reasons to run errands so I could cruise around town. Every time I get on it I find it nearly impossible to wipe the smile off of my face. The Ruckus is great and as long as they keep making them Honda will have a repeat buyer in me for sure. Show less

I just love it when I make the right choices, especially when you invest a good amount of money for something. I bought it new and the Honda service was excellent. They answered all my questions to the fullest. There was no pressure and were very honest. They even called me a few days after I bought it to see how I liked it. The scooter is easy to drive, you can feel the quality. Runs smooth, handles very well. After the break in period I went full throttle up to 48 mph. Remember it's a scooter, not a Harley. I love it and will keep it as I enjoy riding it everyday. Show less

I bought this a month ago to use in Miami, but we lost the condo, so I brought it back home. Now my truck is only used for taking the boat out, otherwise the Metro is absolutely perfect for any trip into town. It even handles well in the rain and will run 42 all day. It's smooth, comfortable and gets about 95 mpg. My truck is getting the break it needs after 300,000 miles. Show less
