These may not be actual production versions. They're probably Buddy 125 prototypes to show off the new colors.jeketus wrote:Yeah, it's definitely a St. Tropez for me! Funny how the special editions have the 125 badge on them. Aren't they going to be 150s?

The Pamplona is clearly done up on a 2006 type Buddy - and the badges look like they say 125 on all the ones that are said to be 150. So, are these prototypes/mockups, or what? Still the colors look great.
I do like the new orangeish Buddy with black bits, with no disrespect intended toward my 06 Sunset Orange Buddy.
Hopefully they'll have some better art to use on the Genuine website and at our dealers, and it will give us Cincinnati types something to ask about at their open house/big sale this saturday:

OKay, folks. I just spoke with Genuine.
These pics are mock-ups, not production versions. They're intended solely to show off the colors, which are beautiful, yes?
All of the special editions will be 150cc. They will have tubeless whitewalls and, I'm sure, center stands. (The stands were probably masked out of the photos so the scoots look better.)
There will also be a special "Little Italy" 50cc version of the Series Italia. You read it here first!
Those of you who asked for Stella pics: they're coming, I should have some by end of week.

The '08 Buddys will probably not be in dealers until February or later. That's when the new ones were available last year. Genuine generally won't announce dates until they're 100% sure of when shipments will be in and distributed.The Ninja wrote:Make mine black please. Does anyone know when the normal 125s will start shipping. I can't wait to get my scooter. it is going to be a very long winter.
