New Look Bubu

Is this the future look of the Buddy? Since Genuine picks out of the PGO stable, I wonder if this might be in the future.

The rest of the PGO page. http://navi.pgoscooter.com.tw:8009/engl ... asp?id=121

I'm not sure I like it yet.

Nah. That's been out awhile. It's their 115cc. It won't be coming here.

Looks like Stella and Buddy made a baby.

I would honestly rather see this than the current buddy. The curved floorboard on the buddy just irks me to no end.

I like it! As kitty said "Looks like Stella and Buddy made a baby." Nothing wrong with that!

It looks too much like the Fiddle or Like. To generic-modern-Vespa-clone-y for me (which is how I am now feeling about the Fiddle).

To be honest I really haven't found a modern scooter that really appeals to me. The Fiddle is alot like this, and both are a little generic-ish. Even the Buddy still has yet to visually grow on me. I love the engineering, but still ...eh... on the body style. But, that's why Genuine has the Stella

It always seems as if the choice when coming up with a new scooter is "to Vespa or not to Vespa." There really WERE other scooters out there way back when. I realize Vespa was first but of course there's always the Lambretta, the Truimph Tiger, the German scoots, etc.

And that's just if one wants to model on the classics.

Then there's other neat looks, like the Honda Joker.

To say all scooters have to copy Vespa is like the MC chauvinists who's only comment is "nuttin but a Harley."

To me, the Buddy looks just fine like it is but there's always room for something new.
