I heard that the '08 Buddy was hard to get. Anyone else hear this?

if your talking about the 125 it's not, at least not at metro scooter. Just picked mine up today

Seth said he could get any color within 5 business days.

Depends on which you're looking for, but all '08 Buddys have shipped to dealers with the exception, I think, of the Series Italia 150s. But I saw all of the other '08 Buddys at my dealer today.

I haven't seen a 150 Italia yet. I believe they still have a pamplona and St. Tropez and a seafoam green 08 at Metro in Cincinnati.

I'm lucky enough to have two dealers very close by. One of them got the Pamplona and the St Tropez. The other one did not receive any of the Intl 08's.

An international is a bit harder because of their popularity, dealers only stock a few, while the solid colors dealers have plenty of. Like Kaje, I went to metro scooter one week, saw 2007 bikes, went back next week, saw them all gone and 2008 bikes in stock

we have a new scooter shop that signed up with genuine about a month ago. while magic city motor scooter is listed as a genuine dealer per the genuine site they have yet to get the scooters. the owner of the shop says there are 4 of 5 buddys coming, all sizes but the stellas and many buddys are on back order. word as of last week, as i recall, was the first will be in in may.

Here in Denver, Sportique Scooters have the entire line of Internationals in stock ( or did last week when I put my deposit on an '08 Pamplona )
