Hello!
I will post some pictures to the gallery tomorrow- I've taken a few, although not as many as I'd like since I bought the BR in mid-November.
Getting the BR was a long process- We won a 50cc version in a raffle and it was a blast, but I was initially unimpressed with the "Big" version- when I considered it's price tag- and passed it up in '05. I was very, very heavily considering either the Burg 400 or the Majesty when we saw a new '06 and I let the sales folks (who we know fairly well) talk me into test riding it.
The Big Ruckus is different in more than looks- it's handling is absolutely exceptional and it's ability to stay steady as a rock on darn near ANY surface is amazing. We get a lot of wind and my little 'naked' scooter doesn't care- the only thing that gets buffeted is ME!
Yes, I agree a 250cc is a bit under-powered- particularly now, with the new emissions standards- but I ride a lot more 50-60mph rough back roads than I do interstate. (I also have an MC- at least at this point). I'm actually very impressed with the little 'urban commando'- If more folks gave one a test ride, I think you'd see a lot more of them on the road!
PS- I've owned a Reflex, a Silverwing, ride MCs, and spent a lot of time on my daughter's Vino 125- so loving the BR was actually a surprise...
