Modern Buddy

For 2009, Taiwan now has three new paint jobs for all new Gmax's 50cc/125cc/150cc. The 200cc version is still the same old paintjobs we've all seen.







Just thought I'd point these out, nothing exciting, but they look nice.

LOVE the rusty orange. Put that on a Buddy and I'd be in an argument with my wife over the necessity of another scooter.

I like the white and black, but if it had red rims, it would be nicer. The off road tires are really good looking too.

I'm liking the orange. I'd like that in the FI 200cc version for Christmas please.

I still think the Blur/Gmax is a unique sports scooter and the best looking. Second place in my opinion is the CPI GTR250. The Blur still has that semi step through design like all scooters possess, but it looks like a motorcycle too. I prefer retro style usually, but I might have been a blur owner if I could have seen one before buying the buddy.

Yeah, what's up with the dual-sport tires? Maybe they're trying to capture market share from BMW.

Not sure if this is the real reason, but in many parts of the world where the G-Max is sold, the roads aren't quite as good as most of the roads around here so the dual-sport tires makes a lot of sense. I know I rode on some pretty rough surfaces while in Taiwan.
And since the G-Max is not sold here, our wants/needs don't mean jack.

I like all of the paint jobs, though prefer the white/black and red/black (I've got enough orange in my garage now) th emost.

I also like those tires. I'm sure they'd ride a bit rougher tham the stock units on my Blur, but I'll need replacements some day and that might not be a bad option. Are they the same size wheels as on our Blurz?

I think these tires are just for the 50ccm scooters.

I'd totally rock the the orange there. Might see what it will cost to have it done if I deliver the plastics. Might not be too bad just to get them color shot.


As for those tires... I say WHY? The brilliant thing about the Blur is it's handling. Why would you put those on it? If you want knobbies get a Zuma.

You may be right because I just noticed all 3 of the posted scooters are 50cc.

do you guys know of any upgrades for these 50cc's? any big bore kits? any results?
