There's No Motor In My Scooter
I'm in desperate need of a Buddy 125 motor!
I've looked at some chinese Gy6's but am hesitant to order a motor that I don't know for sure will bolt up and run.
I can't find a parts bike on craigslist and I'm running out of options.
Anyone know where I can get some vroom vroom?

Have you talked to all of the local dealers? They may have a totaled B125 or know of some. They're not all that uncommon, unfortunately.

Thanks everybody!
A brand spanking new Gy6 motor is around $400 and I already rebuilt just the top end for $350.
I'm looking for a used OEM motor or advice with the Gy6.
MonsterGy6.com has the new motor I'd buy, except that it's $100 more at Monster.
I'll try Colleyville and Cleburn for wrecks. Vespa Dallas is looking up the OEM price for me.
I'll check with Kaos too.
Thanks again, wish me luck!!!

Ahh, thats why I've been getting question PMs the last couple of days
Not that I mind, I've always been happy to help, and its a good excuse to get back on and say hello to the gang over here... I'm finally getting outa the slump of mad work that's been swamping me for the last couple of months which means I've got a big chunk of cash coming, so hopefully I'll get time to finish the Voodoo Buddy.

Good to hear from you Kaos. I'd been wondering where you went. Hope all is well. Cheers.Kaos wrote:...

Just been insanely busy with work lately, culminating in this last week where I had 20 hour days every single day. Kinda makes it hard to do much of anything else. That project is done as of today though, so I should get a breatherSkootz Kabootz wrote:Good to hear from you Kaos. I'd been wondering where you went. Hope all is well. Cheers.Kaos wrote:...

I'm a network engineer for a big telephone company. We recently bought out two very big competitors and the election calling season is starting, so those two things combined meant that I had to quadruple our entire infrastructure in just a couple of months. Its been kinda hectic
