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.
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.
The Buddy Italia is a 4 stroke. The Rattler model and Blur are 2 stroke.
