New Buddy's are Here - Italia and Red

This morning they showed up and it felt just like Christmas!

Now we have every color offered and lined up in a row it's hard not to want one of each.

The fit and finish of the Buddy Italia is fantastic. So many scooter companies get 2 tone wrong. With poorly matched grips and seats etc.

The overall effect is fantastic.

I still cannot tell what color the SI is. Every photo and promo shot shows a different color-particularly around the floorboard area. I hope reality is closest to POCphil's pic at the top of this topic. I like the darker tone. All will be known 'next week' when I ride mine home. It will then morph to a constant shade of dust and mud splatter like all other vehicles in my stable.

Slowgo... I can't really describe the shade of green to you, but I saw one yesterday at my dealer, and I can tell you, you will love the looks of this scooter! It is really sharp and everyone at the shop was raving about it!

I saw the Italia yesterday as well, and it is a beauty! Nice color tone and love the white walls (something that would probably not look good on my cream). The red is nice as well, but not as unique as the green. I also saw/heard the performance pipe. wow! I appreciate how the Buddy does not contribute to noise pollution, but on the other hand ,being heard has it's advantages-especially in areas that are clueless about looking out for 2 wheelers. I am looking forward to reports on the pipes. Ok, OK, I will admit I just like the growl.

Are you looking for reliability reports on the pipe, or just other people's views on how it looks, sounds, and the performance difference? If you want the latter, pick up a copy of the most recent issue of ScooterWorld magazine at your local scooter shop. The Prima pipe does have a nice little growl, doesn't it?

well I don't care how other people think it looks or sounds, b/c I think its sweet! Practical me want to make sure it performs well. Although the truth is I am a city driver and the buddy is fast enough. I am just not sure I can justify $200 to get that roar (sweet, sweet growl)
