2008 Genuine Scooter Company Buddy Italia review from United States of America
"Love my little Buddy"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
One of the mirror arms gets loose. I need to get it tightened for good.
When cold, the bike has a slight lag in acceleration.
General comments?
I checked out a few different bikes before buying a "Buddy". So far, I love it.
It's attractive, and quick. Goes over 40+ mph, and it only has stock engine parts. The warranty covers 2 years, and the mileage is excellent. Still on my first gallon of gas.
I decided to get the Buddy partly because it's a 2-stroke engine. I know things are moving towards liquid cooled 4-stroke engines, but 2-strokes are still faster. And I wanted enough speed to cruise comfortably in Urban traffic. The Buddy does that. And since the 2-stroke oil is injected, adding it is easy.
Many people are asking me about it. Mainly, people want to know how much I paid. So, I'll tell you. It was $1900 brand new. And it gets 80-100 mpg.
