Thanks all!!

Post by Garrett »

Just put the down payment on a Creme Buddy 125 and will be picking it up Friday! This is my first scooter as I am a recovering SUV addict, so things are looking up.

I spent the last 3 days pouring over the internet researching scooters and came across this site via Genuine's link. I spent the morning reading all the post in the general discussion and wanted to thank all you guys for an invaluable resource into the world of Buddy scooters. I made my choice for Buddy almost entirely on this board and look forward to joining the community.

First question: I'm a big guy, (6'3" 250); any similarly dimesioned guys out there riding a Buddy? What has your performance been like compared to Genuine's specs?

Many Thanks!!!

Hey, welcome aboard! I bet you're counting the hours 'til Friday. :D I'm your height (a few pounds less) and I thought the Buddy rocked when I tested it. Here is my impression of the test ride.

Ride safe. Let us know how it's going.

Have to agree with Garrett on the Thank You! I'm planning on picking up a buddy as well and have spent the last two days reading eveything I could get my hands on regarding the topic.

These forums have been invaluable!
