How about adding a Hooligan Forum?

I'm thinking of adding a Hooligan to my stable. From what I've read it is a well thought out bike that performs admirably.

A forum for the Hooligan and Buddy 170i may be warranted, since they share the same drive train.

Is there really any difference between the 125/150/170 drivetrain?

I had read the Hooligan uses the Blur 220 engine with smaller cylinder/head.

Buddy is different.

Buddies go in General that's the way it is. Now that the Rat 110 is gone, mayhaps the hooligan could be added to that page?

Buddy is different.

On their website they both have a 168.9cc engine. I doubt they are different.

The Blur 220 forum isn't too crowded. Perhaps the the Hooligan could be added to the Blur forum to make a new "170cc and up" sub-forum.

I thought this thread was going to be about curb hopping and wheelies.

The Hooligan has a 12" rear wheel, which implies that the CVT casing is longer than that of the Buddy. The Hooligan also is fitted a right-side swingarm to mount a second shock and a rear disc brake caliper, a feature not seen on a Buddy . While there might be some shared reciprocating parts in the crankcases of the Buddy 170i and the Hooligan, I can assure you that the engine cases and several other anciliaries are quite different.

If scooter taxonomy was a thing, I'd suggest that the Hooligan is most closely related to the Blur family.

LOVED it. I took a test ride a couple weeks ago. That is a fun bike.

According to Motor Scooter Guide:

"The Hooligan was crafted by Genuine in cahoots with PGO Scooters. Two of PGO’s existing models, the Libra (B1-150) and X-Hot (B2-150) served as the basis for the Hooligan. The Hooligan’s front end is mostly derived from the X-Hot, while the clean rear end is of Libra descent. From there, Genuine took things up a notch by slipping in the larger 170cc fuel injected motor these two companies previously co-developed for the Buddy 170i. Genuine then rounded out the performance with black 5 spoke 12” alloy rims, an upsized front disc and upgraded suspension."

Wow Genuine really did some work on that scoot. Thanks for the link.
