    Restored it'll bring $750?

    Well if it'll be worth that much easy cash, why doesn't he do it?

    There was a thread on the advrider.com site a couple of years ago about a guy from Korea or somewhere that came to the states and bought a Honda Ruckus. He put lots and lots of miles, I think 8000 miles traveling around the states. It was quite journey. I'll have to track it down and post a link.

    So my advise if you want to use it for touring is to get a Vetter fairing, Higher rise handlebars, custom gel seat with a backrest, trunk and some touratech aluminum panniers. the high pegs were also a good idea.

    The good thing is that if ever threw the motor you could go into any shed along the way and do an engine swap with a lawnmower.
