A good friend of mine has asked for advise on this scooter:

I knew immediately that I should turn this over to you guys for your opinion. The person selling this is a mutual friend, so there isn't as much concern about this being a Viet-bodge. However, I don't know the history of this scooter at all. I'm going to forward the link to this thread to my friend who wanted the advise, and perhaps they'll register and chime in with additional questions.
