In the same amount of time I hit 6800 miles on Buddy.
Just food for thought for all of those out there trying to decide between the two. Buddy is just simpler, it makes you want to ride more.
My experience over the last year has been that Stella is about 5 times the maintenance that either of my Buddies were. That being said i still love Stella!
Stella's are not designed to be convienent.....lol. I had a rattler 110 for a while, and while it was fun and spunky, it was too crowded for two........The Stella is like a Caddy!........It reminds me of my Vespa P200E from back in the day............I love my Stella Too!
