2012 Genuine Scooter Company Buddy International Italia (150 cc), The Buddy Series Italia started a scooter revolution in the US. Never before could people have modern reliability and classic Italian flair in the same scooter! Outside of repair shops, everyone loved our newest Buddy. For 2008, we made the Italia bigger AND smaller. Now you have your choice of 150cc 4-stroke or 50cc 2-stroke. Tubeless whitewall tires and Stebel air horn come standard, as does the adoration of surrounding traffic.
