Modern Buddy

I have seen countless threads about who has the most miles on their Buddy.. but I want to find out just the opposite. Who has the lowest amount of miles on their Buddy, and why?

I have a 2006 and just turned over 2100 miles today.

My reasons?

1. I live in Utah and only have about 4 months of good riding season.

2. Last summer I wrecked it into the back of my truck while trying to load it solo and ended up having to wait 3 weeks for a new front rim.

3. This summer I stripped the crank shaft bolt while changing the variator weights. Buddy was out of commission for another 3 weeks while I ordered a new nut and tried to rethread (and eventually weld) my way back onto the road.

I have 203 miles on my italia 150 that we got about 3 weeks ago.....does that count?

63 miles today. Got her 1.5 weeks ago. Woo HOO!!!

My 06 has 903 miles... but I just got in May though...

Just got over 200 today. Still restricted though and it's a bummer. Anyone think it's a bad idea to try to de-restrict it myself? I'd have to rent a trailer to get it to my dealer.

My 06 has 51 miles on it. I put 31 miles on it today. What a blast to ride.

Paikkylee,
I took out the exhaust restricter this morning and it took all of ten minutes to do. All of four bolts to take off. All you need is a 12 mm socket and a 10 mm wrench. Very easy to do. It makes alot of differents. I put 31 miles on it today without the exhaust restricter and it ran alot better than before. I never keep it at one speed very long I was always changing speeds. I read somewhere that some dealers do the derestrict at set up. I am going to do the variator deregulation later this week and will report back.
Here is a link that I found about doing the derestricter.

Good luck and enjoy.

Had 49 miles on her this morning, now she has 71. I took the longest ride, over to a friends house this afternoon. This scooting stuff is way to cool. Could every day be the weekend!

I picked her up last Saturday

I got my St. Tropez in July and just went over 100 last week.

Taile seems to be winning this 'contest'. I have 64 miles today. Got mine this past Wednesday. I guess this is my virgin riding week.

Today I rode with someone from the OSC (Oregon Scooter Club) past the ravines in North Portland and near the meeting place of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers and then past a quiet industrial area. Briefly, I took it up to 50mph. It was a beautiful serene ride.

The gentleman who rode with me has trained lots of newbies. He was a great teacher.

If you live near Portland Oregon, check out the OSC.

This isn't a contest I'd want to win

Liar

mines an 07 125 and as of right now i have 1,700 miles, which is due for the second oil change. got it in april

i was hoping i would wreck up more miles but i got into an accident over the summer and wasn't riding for roughly 2 months

Well, I got my Buddy at the end of August - first scooter ever -- and put 30 miles on it before breaking my wrist two weeks ago. Can't wait to get back in the saddle!!!

I just broke 500 and will be bringing her to Atlanta for her first oil change. Anyone know where the Genuine Dealer is located in Atl?

3000 Since April Woooot!

Hmm I've got an '07 that I've had since April and I have 2,600 miles on it.

My reasons?

1. I live on the other side of Utah so my riding season is 10 months out of the year. I'm a wimp...it doesn't actually snow here but I don't like the cold.

2. $8 a week in gas sure does beat the $80 a week I spend on my truck.

3. 100 degree weather isn't as hot when you're moving. 120 degrees, on the other hand, is worse. It feels like you're driving through an oven.

Just make sure to turn around so you cook evenly.
