doesn't mention mileage but has keys so at least its not a screwdriver ignition. paint job seems not standard??

anyway has anyone driven the riot? i liked my roughhouse more than the buddy based on looks, but could be seen on this.

thanks

Definitely not stock paint. Looks like a quick rattle-can job.
Riots were Matte Grey.

Looks laid down on both sides.

What in the crap is that speaker mounted to?

It does say 28K miles in the ad which would be surprising and impressive on a 2015 50cc.

Not a bad price if they have the keys and paperwork if you don't need it to look nice.

Very odd though.

I have seen better (stock) condition Buddy 50's go for the same price but they sell pretty fast. The one you have posted has a Krylon paint job that is not factory. If everything is straight (forks, rear end, bars) and it has a clear title it may be worth a look. It would be the perfect winter rehab project to get it to look how you want it to look. I dont know what very fast means. Maybe very fast next to a China 4 stroke, but outside of being de-restricted and having the trans tuned its still stock, so no worries about it having a poorly tuned 70cc on it that is a few miles away from failing.

I'd say 28K is a lot of miles on a 50cc Buddy. How many 50cc Buddys have made it beyond that mileage? I don't think that bike would be my choice.

That's 2,869.8 miles, not 28K.

If the actual mileage is 2,869.8, I would definitely consider this bike even with the non-standard paint job. ;-)
