Thanks, DP..that tells me that if a person were to go to a Chinese scooter, they might be better off getting a late model used one that has been well cared for and has the bugs worked out.
The Rucks appeal to me for their pure utilitarian character. I might set a scoot up for hunting..groundhogs, squirrel etc, so their off road possibilities appeal as well as the idea that I might be able to slip a small rifle case under the seat, projecting out toward the front.
That way I could travel to the woods and fields as well as travel in them.
