10 Year Anniversary Special Edition
I apologize if this was already posted and I missed it.
Nice looking scoot. I wonder why they aren't offering it for the 170?

Agreed. IDK. Maybe Vespa had that color on a scoot 40 years ago. White wall tires. Yes. Not sure about the wheels. I wonder if the low seat was added to get rid of excess inventory.Tocsik wrote:I'm missing something. How is this "vintage inspired" when it has the same body, mirrors etc as the scoots they've always made?
Is it just the pearl blue color that's vintage?
Genuine is consistent with their marketing though. Change colors and whatever extra part they might have around and you have a special addition.

The headlight is the wrong size for a "vintage" Buddy!

I believe those rims are standard on the Buddy 50s.k1dude wrote:Looks like they're using new rims too.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...
Seriously...I've lost count...

I can remember all the discussion regarding the 06 headlights (was that really 10 years ago?) and it was enough for Genuine to make a change. Maybe it's just me but I never thought the 06 headlight was that bad. I'm still running the original bulb.viney266 wrote:I always liked the way the 06 headlight looked , but the "new" ones do work better.
I can't wait to see this color in person.
Then again I do ride some 6 volt vintage so......
It is a slick looking scooter. I would slap a kit on it and rock it any day of the week!
