Buddy in Canada--finally!
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:46 am
Last summer I posted that the PGO Bubu 50/125--also known as the Buddy--was undergoing homologation by Transport Canada. A recent check on the PGO Canada website confirms that by Spring '08 we Canuckistanis will have the "Metro" 50/125. The price is $3499 Canadian--about a hundred less MSRP than the Vino 125.
Insurance and finances willing, I might get one after two years off the road. I am also considering the Kymco People S 125, as it may be just a hundred dollars more. Not to mention those sixteen inch wheels are tempting given Montreal's vile pavement. Still, the PGO dealer most into selling the Metros is closer than the Kymco dealer. I'd be willing to trade off a shorter oil change interval and smaller tires just to have a more convenient service department on hand.
Guess in a few months I'll become a...Metrosexual!
