can't unsee this angle
aged like milk 
sick engine though - and a really cool pairing w the manual.
like the E60 M5 the manual gearbox was for north america only, and AFAIK less than a 1000 manual cars exist.
(nice coupe too - still mad I didn't buy a z4m coupe when I could have for 30k)

That rear tail and the tinted headlights/ tails lights got to go.....
otherwise they are lovely to drive with the manual. Totally different drive feel than the stupid SMG equipped cars. The V10 made very nice noises, but very peaky power ban and thirsty AF.

Engine swaps to 150cc is also commonly done

Its a 30 min swap. I swapped a blown GET for a "tuned" GET with all the stretch kit/fatty/exhaust ect. I set up a camera to do a timelapse and overestimated how long it would take, my timelapse ended up being 3.5 seconds haha

I used to have a Yamaha BWS way back when... so fun to ride... Ruckus has always been the one to get for mods though. That open frame design.
You do have to deal with a certain amount of Nelsons going "Ha-ha!" at you when you ride one though unfortunately. Also the weather sucks here.

Ive done both the Ruckus and the Yamaha BWS. I would go with the BWS all day a 2T scooter can do up to 90kph with the right BBK.
The ruckus has the better looks but in todays VI days, that community is no longer thriving and people who have put $5k+ in their scooters arent even getting anything back for them. I'm lucky I sold my Ruckus when the Grom came out. Being one of the fastest stock GETs at the time it only sold for $2500. Just enough to pay for my Grom.
In the end the Yamaha 2 stroke scooters are the fastest and best running scooters out there. The Ruckus's are just slow. Even with a 150CC china motor upgrade a 90cc BBK from a Yamaha will still beat it. You can get a Yamaha 2T for around $1k, spend under $300 for a BBK and some upgrades and its fast as hell.

You’re just stuck buying used or super old stock, it’s not been legal to buy road use 2 strokes in Canada for a super long time

FUCK just noticed it’s auto. Easy and cheap swap though, or cool for someone that can’t drive a manual.
