Agility 125 / Decisions... Agility 125 vs Genuine Buddy 125...
« on: July 31, 2009, 12:11:07 AM »
I'm torn between the two. I realize that the Kymco probably has better support (being a larger company), but the Genuine Buddy 125 seems to be "THE" scooter that all others are compared to in that engine size.
I am leaning towards the Agility (price-wise), but buying a Chinese manufactured scoot concerns me for reasons from slave labor in China to overall quality and value.
The Genuine is manufactured in Taiwan (PGO), a company that used to build for Piaggio, and has received many reliable reviews.
MSRP price difference between the two is $700 higher for the Genuine ($2700 OTD). The MSRP for the Kymco is $1999, but every dealer that sells them in the area charges Freight and setup (another $300-400).
I realize that I'm questioning on a potentially biased forum, but please give me your thoughts.
Thanks,
Hugo
