AMAZING!Rode from Oakland to Richmond, pretty much along the route of my work commute, and it was everything I thought it would be. Compared to my moto: soft, a gentle bounce to the suspension  % of the time but I do need to be more aware of pot-holes and bad asphalt ridges. The automatic is *really* easy to get used to. It stops REALLY well. It is super light and ground guiding is a breeze. This was just such a practical decision - why didn't I do this sooner? This was just such a crazy fun decision - why didn't I do this sooner?

Same boat, here. 32 years of riding, current bike is a Ducati Monster 620, and I'm doing the "WHEN IS NOW CAN HAVE TIEM" dance for this Friday, when I get to buy a Buddy 125. I'm so excited- your 150 arrived yet?

Heeeee... my motorcycle is naked/naked/stock/naked and I've never had the urge to put anything on it. Nada/zilch/nuttin. This scooter- idek what's going on, but I'm pouring through little adds and matching detail items and bookmarking like a fiend. Awesome!
Thanks for the note!

Hi and Hello!
I'm going a little nuts - saw a scooter last night, met the seller and am going to pay and pick it up on Friday. I've bookmarked So Many Things that I won't let myself buy until the deal is done.
I've got a small motorcycle and have ridden (with the occasional gap-year) all my life (i'm pretty damn old) and my commute of 8 miles for work was just making me crazy; I don't get the moto out of 2nd gear on surface streets, yippie 3rd on the highway (lanesplitting, yoy.) I hate driving the truck to work, it's a gas hog, and seems so pointless to throw that giant weight around when it's not needed.
My beloved intended is a Genuine Buddy 125 in that utterly ridiculous Potent Pink.
It's so wrong, it's right. I haven't welcomed anything that color into my life since I was 8 years old. I can NOT explain the instant attachment.
I'm going crazy waiting and it's only Tuesday.
Help me, scooter boards, perusing your content is my only hope!
