I'm kicking around the idea of buying a Ruckus or a Grom to fart around the neighborhood. I'd have to get a motorcyle endorsement for the Grom

I've never ridden a Grom but for me it would be no contest between those choices... Grom > Ruckus.

Other choices to consider are the Kawasaki Z125 and the Kymco K-Pipe 125. The K-Pipe is the least expensive option but it's carbureted, so you get what you pay for. The Z125 is a few hundred dollars less than the Grom and has a larger gas tank and is a tad lighter. Given this I would lean towards the Kawi.

Groms are nice for puttering around, just don't challenge any 150cc+ scooters.

There is a great subforum for Grom over on TotalRuckus.com. Ruckus is a 49cc scooter which will only do around 43mph. Grom is a motorcycle that will do 55+mph. Apples and oranges.
