| mattgordon's Full Review: 2006 Genuine Scooter Company Buddy 125 |
I'm no stranger to scooter ownership, I've been riding them since, well that's not important.
For the money, Genuine Scooter company of Chicago has found a way to bring a powerful, high content scooter to these United States, with double the industry standard warranty, at a price-point that is surprising.
This little 125cc can easily go toe-to-toe with most 150cc scooters in accelaration, as well as top-speed. Fuel economy is astonishing at 80mpg+, about twice my other 150cc scooter.
This scooter is a bit small physically, not a negative, but smaller than other scooters I've ridden. It's a great size for most and women seem to love it, and not be intimidated by it's dimensions or weight.
With proper maintenance this is a machine I can predict will give many tens of thousands of service to it's smiling owners, but why, oh why no oil warning light? That is a major oversight to me, on a scooter capable of going 60 mph+.
For it's 2600 dollar price-point (plus taxes, fees f course) this is much more than a starter scooter...it's a viable vehicle capable of providing daily transportation, or weekend fun.
