Stupid question of the night about the pink color...

GearGirl · Post by **GearGirl** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 3:07 am

Is there still a pink Buddy 125cc? I see pink as a color option in the 2009 online catalog on the Genuine site, but it doesn't appear in the regular section for the Buddy on the Genuine site, and it also doesn't appear on the list of colors at my local shop. Thanks.

Pink is N/A for '09. sorry. You can always swap the panels or paint it!

That color of pink was terrible anyway, pink is terrible in general but that was worse

You may still be able to special order a pink 125. Ask your dealer. I haven't seen a new one in a while, but there were still some available last I heard.

Take a look at the picture. I suspect it's a photo of her Buddy.

That's why I asked—wondering if that was stock or if they did a swap.

Technically, yes, I bought it with the black. It was a dealer Frankenstein creation. They don't come with the black panels as we all know, but mine was an experiment. I have a really awesome dealer.

I love mine, I've been know to give her kisses. Yes, I am crazy.

I don't think my dealer, Mike, would really go for kisses. At least not from me.

My scooter, not the dealer. I did actually bake them cookies today. I am bringing my girl in for her first service. So, they get cookies.

Angela, I tell my scooter I love her every time we go riding. Yes, out loud. Hopefully, no one else can hear me mumbling inside my helmet....

Okay, I've never kissed my scooter either. I do admire her. It's kind of like a crush.

I AM SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THIS!!! I've also brought over pizza, muffins, and most recently a great big rack of soft pretzels, because sometimes savories go over better than sweets.

Holy cow, I'd be the most popular guy in the world if I brought food to my dealer.

Angela · Post by **Angela** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:42 pm

The dealer brought me and my girl together. Of course I'll bring them treats. They always offer me bagels or whatever they have when I'm there. So I wanted to bring them stuff. Yes, one of the guys there is my bff's husband but still.

Eric, if you bring your dealer treats, the niceness will be returned!

jfrost2 · Post by **jfrost2** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:43 pm

I'm pretty sure pink is a color for 2009, I remember either at a announcement or dealer expo I saw a pink buddy, but it was a pink with pink interior, not like the 2008 mash up panel switch jobs where it was pink with black interior.

I'm going to have to agree though it would be special order.

I'm happy that you're looking at the 125cc and not the 50!! YAY! Good luck finding your pink!

GearGirl · Post by **GearGirl** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 8:16 pm

I'm definitely on to the 125 or 150 now, I like all the 150 colors, and three of the 125 colors. I keep getting really harsh feedback from people who I tell I want a scooter. I'm getting so tired of the negativity. I love the excitement here, the pink is so pretty!

Yeah...it's pretty much part and parcel, unless you know others that ride scooters, or some pretty understanding MC'ers. Pay 'em no mind.

Negativity is normal, people who dont know anything about scooters will either say bad things or urge you away from them.

Please excuse my ignorance but did your Dealer paint your pink interior panels black or switch em? And by the way the black makes all the difference in the world,I like it. Thanks...

Its a switch out. They are all about pimping out your Buddy at Motorsport.

Haha!! I'd been wanting to add the Italia green panels to mine for some accents and you just changed my mind.

I do want to eventually do something to slightly lessen the girly unicorn power of mine (Pink on pink with whitewalls/seat/handgrips.) But maybe now I'm leaning more towards chocolate or burgundy racing stripes!

Brown would be sweet. Let me know if you are interested in re upholstering your seat. I can ask the boyfriend if he can do something for ya.

Put it in one of those cool Tupperware cake/cupcake transportation cases and cargo/spider net it to the seat.

My seven year old niece has discovered the joys of pink and green. Her birthday party was this past weekend and that was the preferred color combo.

I went to the classic car show this weekend and have a whole new design for my custom seat. I was inspired.

I spoke to the folks at Philadelphia Scooters (BEST.DEALER.EVER) and they said that pink is indeed available for 2009. However, due to "limited" demand, you probably won't see it sitting around on the showroom floor. See, out of b/w 300 & 400 Genuine Buddy scooters sold, they've sold +/- 5 pink ones. So, if you're into thinking PINK, get your dealer to special order it for you.

I literally sing songs about her, to her. I feel weird again.

I do tend to sing while on my scooter, its the lack of music. I found myself singing the Jack in the Box Mini Sirloin Burger commercial the other day. "Yippee ai yay mini sirloin burgers..."
