The Buddy Black Jack utilizes the air-cooled 150cc 4-stroke Single powering the Internationals.
Hitting the streets aboard the Buddy Black Jack scooter.
The Buddy Black Jack can park just about anywhere...
The Black Jack is marketed to the younger riding crowd.
The Buddy Black Jack ergonomics are better suited to smaller riders.
The centerstand is easy to use on the Black Jack, but the sidestand is more convenient for quick stops.
The Buddy Black Jack is good for an easy pace out to the vineyard, provided there are no Interstates or fast divided highways in between.
The Black Jack is ideal in an urban setting.
The small size of the Genuine Buddy Black Jack comes in handy when looking for some downtown parking - in particular when communities provide motorcycle-specific parking.
The Black Jack may not be the most stable ride, but it gets the job done in the city.
A grown ass man does not an ideal Buddy Black Jack companion make. At least a 6'1" 205 lb grown ass man...
After hitting the red it only took 0.85 gallons to fill the supposed 1.8-gallon tank, leading us to question either the gas gauge or the Black Jack spec sheet.

The Black Jack features an adjustable rear shock, with settings for preload and rebound.

Can I park this here? Yeah? No? Yeah? I'm parking right here.

Yes, the Buddy Black Jack can be flogged out on the country lanes, getting up to a brisk top speed near 60 MPH.
NCY brakes stop the Black Jack, with the single disc dual-piston caliper up front far more powerful than the mushy rear drum.
