yes, i placed an order for the blackjack this weekend... estimated arrival is january or maybe sooner.
the dealers have a nice full color info sheet for both the black jack and ecobuddy. so if you are interested i would definitely stop by your dealer and pick one up.
the blackjack msrp is $3499 and ecobuddy is $2699. they both come with 2 yr warranty and 2 yr roadside assistance.

thanks, buddylicious. we are total newbs to scootering, and are excited about it. don't even mind the wait, bc it gives us lots of time to shop for gear and take the msf course beforehand.
i don't think it has the playing cards graphic on the front fender anymore, it doesn't seem to have it pictured on the flyer.
i don't know if all the 2009s have 2 yr free roadside, i just know it did mention it on the eco and blackjack's info sheet, and since i wasnt interested in a regular buddy, i didn't ask about it on them.

I wonder if the Stella will get a 2 year warranty now? Can't get them here anyway. One of the reasons I bought a Buddy was the warranty. Not that I hope to use it, but that Genuine is betting I won't need it. This site and Alex's adventures are what put me over the top. I bought it before I ever rode it.
Interesting that Andretti (Mario) is offering a 3 year warranty on mainland Chinese scoots now. All they need now is a dealer network and fan base like this

What Stella? Are they even producing them anymore for sale anywhere? I thought the last batch of 200 some-odd, was just that the last batch.olhogrider wrote:I wonder if the Stella will get a 2 year warranty now? Can't get them here anyway.

They had a 1 year warranty and NO Roadside. A manual 2-T is too much to warranty for 2 years.

Yes, but not for sale in California. I saw a bunch of new 2009 Stellas at a dealership in New Haven, CT last weekend. Different grips and headlight and nicer paintwork, but otherwise the same.mattgordon wrote:What Stella? Are they even producing them anymore for sale anywhere?

It's been widely rumored that Genuine and LML are working on a 4-stroke, 50-state Stella. The specs are unknown; rumors were that there'd be an automatic with a 200/250cc PGO engine. We've since learned LML has developed a 4-stroke 150 for its manual scooters.mattgordon wrote:Dang that sucks....for us Cahleefornians!Kaos wrote:Yeah, Vespa Portland has them all the time, they've just gotten the '09 Stella as well.mattgordon wrote: What Stella?

Funny! I bought a new leftover 2007 Vespa GT200 from New Haven Powersports on eBay a couple weeks ago and was up there to pick it up. What a great scooter and motorcycle shop. Nice people and HUGE inventory of Vespas, Piaggio, Genuine and Kymco scooters, Aprilia motorcycles and scooters, and other Japanese bikes.nissanman wrote:Mechanicsburg to New Haven? What brings you to CT? It can't be the lack of traffic around Yale can it?

Anyone know anything about the EFI system of the Eco-Buddy? Will it use any sort of o2 sensor or of any odd differences between the Carb vs EFI 125 motors? I personally could care less about the Eco aspect, but I wonder about EFI and the use of a Prima pipe? Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm considering a EFI upgrade and wonder if it will be worth it.

All the info I've seen describes it as a "closed loop EFI" which would mean that it uses O2 sensors. That being said, it should actually be fairly easy to drill a pipe and use the EFI system on a regular buddy.mhardgrove wrote:Anyone know anything about the EFI system of the Eco-Buddy?
