From what I've read in prior posts, it seems the main difference is the longer mirror stems. Also, a couple colors are discontinued - the Pink and Cream, I believe...

But, if others out there are aware of other differences (engine design, or other) I'm quite interested in learning this as well.

The 2008 125s have a Stebel horn. It's not the oft-lauded Nautilus that the 150s have, but it's a lot louder than the 07 stock horn. FWIW, the 2008 50cc scooter have the same Stebel non-air horn.

The normal 2008 buddy 125's do have the stebel air horn, I checked yesterday and saw a stebel horn in my 08, and some other brand (pgo's standard horn) in my fathers 07.

The key ignition now says "on and off" rather than showing symbols.

The '08s were built more recently. ;-)

The 2008's have the number 8 in the year they were built vs. a 7 in the 07's :lol:

It's not the nautilus air horn. It's another horn that stebel produces.
