Overview

Introducing the 2011 Genuine Scooter Buddy 125, a delightful fusion of practicality and style that stands out in the crowded scooter market. Priced at an approachable US$ 2,699, the Buddy 125 is designed for urban commuters and weekend adventurers alike. With its charming retro aesthetic and vibrant color options—including classic black, eye-catching red, cheerful yellow, and soothing light green—this scooter not only gets you where you need to go, but it does so with a flair that turns heads. The Buddy 125 is perfect for those who crave an efficient ride without sacrificing personality, making it a fantastic choice for city dwellers and casual riders. At the heart of the Buddy 125 is its lively 125cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This robust powerplant is engineered for spirited performance, capable of reaching a top speed of 60 mph (96.6 km/h)—ideal for zipping through traffic or enjoying a leisurely ride on backroads. The air-cooled engine, paired with an automatic gearbox and reliable belt final drive, ensures a smooth and user-friendly experience, whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting your two-wheeled journey. With an impressive fuel consumption rate of 90.12 mpg (2.61 litres/100 km), the Buddy 125 also stands out for its efficiency, allowing riders to stretch their dollars while minimizing trips to the gas pump. The Buddy 125 boasts a well-engineered chassis and suspension system that prioritizes comfort and stability. Its telescopic front fork and monoshock rear suspension work in harmony to absorb bumps in the road, delivering a smooth ride even on less-than-ideal surfaces. For safety, the scooter is equipped with a single disc brake at the front and an expanding drum brake at the rear, providing reliable stopping power when needed. Additional features like electric start, a 24-month unlimited mile warranty, and roadside assistance make this scooter not just a mode of transport, but a dependable companion for all your journeys. **

Pros

  • Stylish Design: The Buddy 125's retro-inspired look and vibrant color choices make it a standout choice for those who appreciate aesthetics.
  • Excellent Fuel Efficiency: With a remarkable 90.12 mpg, the Buddy 125 is cost-effective for daily commuting and weekend rides.
  • User-Friendly Features: The automatic transmission and electric start simplify the riding experience, making it accessible for riders of all skill levels.

Cons
