Do they have a red and cream 170i? Are you sure it wasn't an International Pamplona?

Yup for sure it was red and cream. not really aut-fait with the buddy naming conventions, but it said 170i on the front.

Illegal Black Buddy 125

Sighted on South Street in Boston

Tis registered on the sticker program even though it is a 125. Love the buddy though, but hope the cops catch the owner. Driving around on that beast with no insurance

Buddy Saint Tropez as I was heading toward Tower Grove Park in Saint Louis. I was on a cream and navy Vespa GTS 250. I saw two more Buddies parked in front of the Botanical Gardens on the street last night as well. I see lots of Buddies but apparently none are here as no one ever says it was them.

A black buddy with no badges parked off Pearl street and Walnut yesterday. I assume it's a 125 with the missing badges, but I could be wrong, maybe they just didn't like the look.

Saw my first buddy on the 4th of july a couple hours before the fireworks. I was loading my scoot into a truck bed and I hear this oh so familiar noise coming down the street. There went a pink buddy 125 with a female rider wearing a pink helmet, you could see her coming from miles away haha.

I saw another scooter today! First time since I have lived here that I have seen another scooter besides my husband's Stella and my Buddy. I don't know what it was he was on the other side of the median. Bright green with a young man with no shirt, no helmet, shorts and flip flops going down state highway 35.

Right in front of Hell's Angels Clubhouse! No Kidding! Blue one with windshield on Sprague Ave in Spokane. Don't know if it was a 125 or 50 because it was going the other way. No Hells Angels were present but they've been lying low since the Feds did a raid last year (bad group of dudes).

Yesterday in Picksburgh! Saw a young man on a red Buddy zippin' down Smallman St in the Strip District. Also saw a girl on what might have been a cream Stella cross an intersection a short time later. PA is a helmet optional state but both were wearing. :)

Hard to tell, but it looked like a shiny black 125, not matte.

Yesterday around 4:00 PM - I was stopped on Wilshire Blvd. to take a pic of the odometer on my scoot just rolling past 10,000 when a Blackjack flew by. I caught up to him at the next stop light and rode "alongside' from around Beverly Glen to San Vicente just past the 405.

As usual lots of traffic on Wilshire around this time of day. It was really nice to be on a scooter.
