I LOVE MY BUDDY! But I just don't ride it any more. It feels so unloved sitting in the garage I decided it's time to let it go to someone who will love it as much as I have. I searched for a long time for a scooter, specifically a Vespa. I had never heard of the Genuine Buddy. After some research I saved a BUNCH of money and like this scooter much more than a Vespa. Excellent condition, FUN to ride, AWESOME gas mileage, 1,250 miles, includes cargo box, battery tender (only needed if you don't ride for a LOOONG time!), and high-viz yellow 3/4 helmet.
