Have you had it looked at by a mechanic? Some vibration is inevitable, but what you describe sounds like more than I experience with mine.

I've decided to pay off this scooter and look at getting a 300-500cc Kymco instead with the hopes that the vibration on these larger scooters is balanced out within the bike. I read about this Buddy 125 online for two years before making the purchase so I'm a little disappointed. Great little scooter if it didn't vibrate so much. :(
That vibration is NOT a common problem. I had major issues after thousands of miles and it turned out to be the type of topcase I had!

After having 2 Buddy's and over 85, 000 miles between the two of them, I can testify the handlebar vibration is not normal and you should have a dealer or mechanic look at it.
