New here

Post by allie0812 »

Hi guys I’ve been with scooters for years now but just picked up my first buddy, it’s a 08 150. I’ve looked around and there seems to be quite a bit more 125s and 50s around than the 150 and 170. Well anyways just dropped in to say hi!

Welcome!

They've been selling 50s and 125s since day one. the 150s came along later, then they were dropped for the 170i. That's why there are fewer of the large-displacement Buddies.

Welcome. I knew they made the Buddy 150 for a while but I have never seen one in person. I remember some of the 150s came with red wheels and whitewall tires.

Welcome aboard,

The Buddy 150 is a great scooter. I have a 2009. I prefer it over my wife's Buddy 125. Spunkier performance and 65mph top end. 8)
