International Buddy V.S. Buddy 125

Post by Legend »

Anyone done a shoot on these two scooters? Is the International version with the rip roaring 150 cc a physically bigger scooter than the 125? I was at my local dealer recently and the Buddy 50 and Buddy 125 are the same physical size so is the international following suit? How much quicker is it or are we just paying for the extra cc's on the name plate?

Any information would be great as I am pulling the trigger next week.

Same physical size. But the larger motor also has a few other things to compensate (different oil cooler I think). So yes, the extra cubes and the special edition colors and tires are the difference.

the horn sounds crazy. it truly is a huge difference from the old one. would make me feel like a trucker to honk it. except i'd be on a scooter.

Yeah I want to add one bad but I'm sure I'd screw it up and my dealer doesn't seem too hot on doing it (though I'm sure they would).
