I'm having a hard time holding back... I'm eager to spend other peoples money.

Living vicariously has it's virtues I guess.

If I had your money. I'd probably buy a Yamaha C3 (if your son liked it of course). It has some after market support (not as much, but enough) yet is un-common here, kinda like when the Ruckus first came out. It's also fuel injected so your son can toy with it without having to worry with carb troubles.

Agreed... It really comes down to how involved you/he wants to be with this.

A C3 would be easier to live with as a "daily"

but a Ruck is more satisfying as a "tinkerer"

thanks guys..........I've been looking at all kinds of bikes. My son likes the Aprilia scooter the best but likes the idea of modding something. We had a good time building his bmx bike from scratch.

Yeah pretty much a trade off

Ruck- Bolt on's galore but kinda a pain in the tuning department. 25 different exhausts, bolt on and run lean, re-jet
C3- The reverse, may have to fab/adapt SOME parts, but pretty much tunes it's self. 3 different exhausts (LOL), Bolt on and go
