My readers have been busy the past month! I have a number of new scooter reviews available. From the classic Vespa and Bajaj Chetak models to the newer Yamaha Zuma, you can find well-balanced reviews on tops of well-known and not so well-known scooter brands.

If you’re interested in the Aprilia Scarabeo scooter, you’ll want to read this informative, fact-filled review on our site. Here’s an excerpt:

“This bike has 16″ wheels, with 19hp and between 70-75 MPH. The Scarabeo 200 is a great looking scooter. It has plenty of power but can feel a little unstable on the freeway when reaching speeds over 60 MPH. If you are set on the Scarabeo 200, it may be wise to wait until the 2009 models come out to see if some of the issues have been resolved.”

Ooh we! Genuine Motor Scooters has made some exciting changes in their Buddy line this year. Almost makes me wish I’d waited to buy mine… almost. :)

First off, their color line is almost completely different. Black is still in there, but it no longer has the silver accents. Also, the pink and the cream are gone. Red, which was experimental last year, is now mainstreamed. There’s a new light blue and a seafoam green. The one in the pic above that looks school bus yellow to me they’re calling orange, but it’s definitely NOT last year’s true orange! All the vintage styling is still there. In addition, they’re claiming improved performance, though I didn’t see any details on that.

PLUS… what was a limited edition last year, my Series Italia, has now become a whole new line of Buddy, the Buddy International! It now comes in 3 color choices, one of which is still the olive green you see in the header above, and these are the other 2:

The blue combo is called the St. Tropez and the red is the Pamplona. Besides the new colors, the Buddy International’s engine has been bumped up from 125cc to 150cc for a little more oomph. With the whitewall tires and air horn, this Buddy is really appealing. Oh, and one other thing… the Series Italia Buddy now comes in the little 50cc size too, so if a full-powered Buddy is too much scooter for you, you can still have sharp styling and retro looks with what Genuine is calling the “Little Italia”.

So… is a Buddy in your future for 2008? For more information, and reviews, visit this Buddy page on my site.
