While looking at Facebook Marketplace I came an interesting scooter. Not sure what the story on it is but it looks like a 2006 or earlier small headlight Buddy(or PGO Bubu.) It looks like a 50cc, but it has an oil filler so it might be a 4 stroke. It also appears to have a 125/150/170 sized front fender, and a different rear fender. It doesn't have the handlebar mounted turn signals that the Buddy has.
It would be cool to know the story on this scooter. In the ad the seller says it's a 2004 Dong Fang DF, though it says "Junwei" on the front and side. I tried to do some research and I couldn't find anything.

Is this a pre-Genuine Buddy?

Overseas, the Buddy is the Bubu. So I don't know if this a rebrand, a clone, or a one-off relabel.
The the handlebar turn signals are strictly an American thing.
Did you see the description? "This is a vespa scooter ..."
And just looking at the overall scene, those pictures are 100% from the Midwest.

Tipton is bit too far for me. Well, maybe next weekend as I'll be in Indy...scootERIK wrote:If I lived closer I would go take a look just to take some pictures and get some more information.

I have a 2003 PGO MyBubu 125. It also has the turn signals located where they should be. I got interested in PGO/Genuine scooters after renting a PGO Ligero in Bermuda. When I got home from Bermuda, I researched the PGO Ligero and discovered Genuine Buddys..
