Does this Scooter Make my Butt look Big?

Over at our site we have the images up from the Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows® Chicago. It was fun, but I got to say a little disappointing on the scooter front.
First off there were not a lot there, the “Scooter Pavilion” was like 7 scooters and the home town favorite Genuine Scooter only had two scooters there.
Talking with the Genuine rep I asked about the two new models of the Buddy set to come out this year; the Eco Buddy and the Blackjack. I was told that the Eco version was delayed as they are trying to build most of it from recycled materials and also to get it fuel injected. I give them points for this, I mean if you’re going to stamp Eco on your product might as well do it right the first time.
As for the Blackjack, Genuine’s bad boy Buddy, earlier specs showed it with a stock Prima pipe, however, this will not be the case. The Prima pipe will now like with other scooters be an add on option. The Genuine rep went on to tell me that the Prima pipe would be offered at a discounted rate for the Blackjacks but that they were still working out those details.
So the show was a great way to kill an afternoon, but as far as seeing new things in the scooter world it was kind of a bummer.
