Modern Buddy

Yeah, I know you love your pink/red/sunset orange/creme/SI Buddy. But of the new color schemes, which do you like best?

See the colors here: http://2strokebuzz.com/index.php/?p=3823

i was open-minded when i heard about a lighter shade of orange, but coupled withthe black trim? ICK! not for me. i <3 san tropez though.

I really need to see them in person to know for sure.

What's with the whitewalls on the new 150's? From what I hear they don't perform as well as the stock tires and it doesn't make sense to me to put them on the new 150 Buddys. More power and less tire performance doesn't sound wise.

New buyers love the whitewalls. They look great and most people walking into a scooter shop for the first time don't even think about tire performance. I know I didn't and would have bought tubed whitewalls if they'd been available.

I'd most likely be included in this group. I'd not tolerate the WW's on my other two wheelers, but might find a soft spot for them on a Buddy.
From the performance side of things, I most certainly agree with you.

all the 2 tones are sexy. i'd go with san tropez. as for white walls, they look sweet, but i have a pair of brand new ones chilling in my closet that i won in a drawing, im never putting them on.

I voted for the san tropez b/c I liked it best out of the 150's. Colorwise, I think the powder blue is going to look great. As much as I have new Buddy envy, I am wondering how fast I really need to go since the majority of my driving is urban. I wonder how fast those go? Most of us beat 150 vespas of the line so I am wondering if this thing is going to be smoking fast for a 150?
