    Another market segment Honda has identified/is attempting to create?

    An odd take on a scrambler type bike.

    Might be a fun bike but a bit goofy looking.

        My very first thought was it looked like a hyped-up ruckus.

        How would the 15" wheels affect it's handling in dirt?

          I think they'd have to try.

          I never was a fan of the matt finish body paint; or cars or bikes.

              The marketing types at Honda would know better but I would guess that the 'dirt' aspects of the bike are there only for for looks. An urban bike with an adventure type look.

                Sounds right.

                And how many Rukus scooters actually make it to the dirt? A beginner bike with adventure pretensions. But an actual motorcycle and not a scooter. A small but important distinction to many.

                    lol agreed.

                    And while I don't know how old you are I would guess that you are far closer to me in age than the target market segment of this veehickle.

                    Then again, the Japanese never went broke selling ugly. Scads of LTDs, 'L' models and Viragos out there and those were targeted at us.
