7000 trouble-free miles... I like the sound of that. If you could wave a magic wand and change one specific thing about the Buddy, what would it be?

yeah 7000 miles isn't much compared to many of yous guys around here but they have been a complete delight.

what would i change? that's a hard one. ummmm...i seem the be the perfect size for it, the multitude of riding positions provide plenty of wiggle room to stay comfy for hours of butt happy riding; the light weight and low center of gravity make it the easiest vehicle i've ever ridden; the good build quality has kept it going without a worry; and my outstanding machanic (who let's me watch and explains whatever i ask about) makes it a joy to take into the shop.
so what would i change? self washing? i'll think about it but i can't think of a thing i'd change.

Me too! 8k and still rolling! I agree with KT on the shocks....I test drove a GTS 250 and that thing rolled sooooo smoothly.

our 81 lambretta runs smoother than the buddy. that is if you take the vibration out of the equation.
