You look good on either one :D. My personal fave is the Pamplona. If I had purchased mine new, that's what I would have chosen. I wound up with an Italia because that's what popped up on Craigslist at a price too good to pass up. It was my second choice, so I'm still happy with it.

Based on the photos red 3-1. Might just be your demeanor, though. You look happier and more posed on the red.

I wonder if it has something to do with you liking it more? Could be?

And red is an attention getter, too. If that matters? Certainly hi-vis if you need a practical excuse to choose it. And a bit sexy and bold when you want it to be. Or so I have heard of the color...

Could make a difference with a female rider, I suppose.

All that said I favor the green, personally. But that is because the blue and red are not colors for me.

I like the red better, but honestly they are both pretty to look at :D

I had such a hard time choosing the color for my buddy, I actually had my dealer order a red one, then changed my mind and went with Seafoam. Now I keep seeing the orange ones and thinking I should have gotten that. lol

JH you got it!! Ally your my twin!! Loved the sea-foam!! I'm a beach girl, grew up on the ocean, wear only turquoise jewelry.......... But then I started thinking the seafoam was drab.......Orange was my least favorite when I first was introduced to Buddys...... Then all of a sudden hmmmmmm .......I really kinda like that tangerine!!!! Bottom line if your a girl the bright colored scooters are the way to go!!! Then I started thinking the plain red was great.......... oh boy!!!!

It's tough being a Libra!! In the end the upgrades for only $200 more and the 2-tone made me narrow it down to the lil Internationals!!

I have the Italia, but I wanted a Pamplona, but the price for the Italia was too good to pass just for a color.

What is your favorite color? That's what it ultimately comes down to. The Pamplona and Italia are both lookers. Personally, I'd (and have previously) go with the Italia. I like earth-tones. If you can't make up your mind, try a bigger engine. Sometimes the color options are different. Faster is always better than prettier.

In the end, only you can decide what's best when color and displacement is concerned.

Just think it through and make sure it's right for you.

Good luck.

Same here. Our scoots don't get much use for recreation since you can walk or bike to anywhere in Boulder.
