I'm right around the first year anniversary of getting my Buddy 125. I paid for it last April (ordered it as I didn't want a 170i with fuel injection) and din't pick it up right away when it came in, but its close enough for the first year of ownership. Anyways, I just clicked over 7,500 miles. The Buddy has been flawless. I get around 90 mpg on it as well. The original rear IRC tire still looks good and the Buddy passed its State Inspection no problem.
I have a free flow stock looking exhaust for it, a knurled clutch bell, hit style clutch, aftermarket variator, extra valve head (I always get the valve heads ground and flow tested) and a bunch of small like main jets, idle jets, etc. but everything is still in the packaging. It runs great as it sits. I do have a complete tune-up in the wings. New belt, rollers, v-slides, etc. |

I don't know if things have changed but back in the day a two stroke wasn't associated with longevity. Oil mixed with gas doesn't lubricate as well as the straight oil in a four stroke. Depending on how long you'll use it that might be the only advantage of a Ruckus for you.
