My Met Squirt went to a new home with a mom and daughter who BOTH now ride Red Honda Metropolitans! I will miss my Met, but it's time to move into a new phase of riding: faster and further in less time.
I almost bought a Honda PCX, but I just found I prefer a smaller, more traditional scooter platform (which means floorboard) and riding experience.
I am hoping this will be a nice all around scoot for town and back road exploring.
More adventure, more fun!

The loud horn makes me think it is a Genuine Buddy Scooter and the matte black paint points to the Psycho Limited Edition model....
ReplyDeleteHowever, Trobairitz just piped up and offered her suggestion.
Regardless, congratulations on the new ride!
Damn you're GOOD! :=)
DeleteIs it a new Yamaha Zuma... I purchased one from a friend of mine during a divorce sale.. Great little scooter.. I use it mainly to run to the gym late at night.. The short wheelbase and the so little weight is so much different than the Triumph Tiger I usually ride, which makes it so much fun.
ReplyDeleteVery close second. What kept me off was the seat comfort factor and seat height. Just felt too hard and high up for me. I agree it is an AWESOME scooter! Was my top choice for quite a time since it debuted in a 125cc.
DeleteDeb:
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Honda Grom but it has 12" tires

No, not a Grom.
DeleteBut I DID get to see one and sat on it. Loved the look, very small, but no place to carry ANYTHING!
But cute and a reported "performer" at 125cc.
My guess was a Zuma as well.
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is congrats on the purchase.Looking forward to seeing pics.
Thank you so much!
DeleteSo cool that you are getting a Psycho. We saw one in person at the Triumph shop and they sure are nice.
DeleteAnd hubby is that smart at figuring out puzzles. He loves those brain teasers.
I saw stuff about the Psycho when it first came out 2 years ago and thought then that it was rugged like a Ruckus for rougher back roads, small and nimble enough that I would feel comfortable on it coming from smaller scooters, and fast enough to get me out to some distant places for day explorations. In other words, a great "all around" scooter.
DeleteNever thought I'd own one due to cost and availability, but now it is happening and I am SO excited!
I'm really excited for you Deb; you will love this thing and be able to do the exploring you enjoy most!
ReplyDeleteDarn tootin' and believe it or not one of your posts "somewhere" on the internet sold me on the Buddy for exploring the back roads!
DeleteWas it "Adventure Rider"? Can't recall...
Ah, the wonder of the in-between times. The first step is making space, you've done that. Now waiting to see what fills it up.
ReplyDeleteWell, it all worked out and here it is!
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteHere's looking at you, kid.
Eager to go and pick it up! Hopefully next weekend or the next if my pal is unavailable with his trailer.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! I love the psycho eyeball on it. Have fun on this little beastie!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this puppy will work for me. Ya never know until you give them a chance out on the open road ("back road" in my case).
DeleteIt seems like a good choice, though I was also keen on a Yamaha Zuma 125 and even the Yamaha Morphous.
We'll see....
