Just got my first scoot. I LOVE it. I really feel one with the bike vs just driving a car. I got the 125, white.
This is my first mile :D

Welcome to the forum!

Your first mile and you are driving in the semi-darkness, judging by the backlight speedo...I know those lights are on all the time, but I never noticed the backlit in any others before. :wink:

Ride safe, enjoy yourself and share pix. The white Buddys are very nice looking :D (of course, I have yet to see an ugly Buddy :P )

Welcome!

You're sure going to enjoy that high MPG. Even more once you've broken it in.

What made you decide to get one?

Welcome! Great first post!

We all post our interesting odometer readings (I posted 5280 since I live in Denver :P ) but posting the 1 mile mark is way cool 8)

I'd buy it... if they made it scuff-proof. :lol:

What about a two-tone red and white, or red and black, with a heart emblem? Either could be hot with that name. Same kinda deal, performance parts and such.

Personally, I'd still like to see a new line of two-tones, other than the Internationals. Plastic paneling is cheap to paint and manufacture, I would think.

Matte black and gloss red, a deep lipstick red... (NOT pink.)

I might have a scoot of my own, but i'd buy a 170 Queen of Hearts for my sister oh yes I would.
