Scooter buying advice time:

I have been looking into buying a scooter for some time. I have a 7 Mile commute on one road every day. I can go down a more residential road that is 30mph speed limit for half of that commute, but the remainder is 45mph. No uphills and traffic lights every mile type of deal. I also want to go to the gym with it (1 mile away, and perhaps my local dinner joints and such around the corner)

I found this ad on craiglist:

2008 genuine co. buddy italia - $1000 (32 st 202)

great scooter, 50 cc, almost 7,000 miles.
do some research on these scoots. runs frigg'n awesome, always has.
I got a DUI so i can't ride it for a year & I don't want it to sit. thx
good tags thru march 2012. clean title, don't buy a crappy remote starting, 3 dollar alarm having offbrand.
vespa genuine scooter company honda yamaha kymco are the only scoots i would ever buy.



I wanted a genuine scooter for a while, does this seem like an okay price? Also - I am concerned that on the genuine website it says speed restricted to 30, I was hoping to get 45mph ( I am only 150lbs) any way boost the speed a bit cheaply with out damaging the engine. I feel for safety it would be good to be able to accelerate a little quicker to get myself out of danger and keep pace with traffic as the road I take is a 45mph road.

Thanks!
