How many miles have you put on your scooter?

I put on 16k on my Buddy125cc between 2007-2012... anyone else have as much or more?

I want to know who has what within a certain amount of time

Bone Girl has 40,000 on one scooter and nearly 30,000 on another. (I swear the girl must ride 20hrs a day! :P) I have but a mere 22,000 on mine since November 2008.

Just serviced my 2007 Buddy 125 at 12,000 miles tonight. These are great little scooters.

I put 16k on an old Scarabeo 50 in just under 3 years.

I currently just turned over 13K on the GTV, and I've had it just over 3 years. Kinda disappointed in myself, I need to ride more!

14,000 miles on my '08 since April '09

I'm at about 8,600 on mine. I bought it in July '09 with 1,000 miles on it, so 7,600ish of those are mine, mostly put on through 5 days a week of 12 mile roundtrip commutes. I know this isn't what you're looking for, but by my quick back of the electronic envelope calculations, had I driven those same miles in my car, I would have spent about $1,200 more in gas.

I wonder how many miles I would have if I didn't live where it snows?......

As of this weekend, I've had my Buddy 50 "Flash" for three years. (His three-year "moped" registration expires at the end of the month.) He had a few miles on him from setup and testing when I picked him up, but not enough to make a note of. He now has 13,800 (plus a few), which works out to 4,600/year. In that time, he's had tires, brake pads, spark plug, fluids, and filters changed, but otherwise he's the same old scoot, and still performing like a champ.

how's this?

approx 4700 on the Blackjack (purchased Nov. 2010) and I think 1600 on the Stella (purchased April 2011) but I remember burning up miles on the Blackjack when I first got it...

I have a very short commute, and I've not done much long distance trips on my scoots. I've put on about 1500 miles per year.

Several thousand on my Agility, 1100 on the BJ i tend to. Had some downtime, too. So probably like 8,000m in 15 months, 100% urban commuting. :ninja:

I have about 850 on the iScoot in 6.5 months....very short urban commute. Approximately 80% of those miles are non-commute, pure fun! :D

I've put 800 miles on my Kymco Like in 1 month, it's my first scooter. I've got a short 1 mile commute to work, the rest has been cruising the back roads of Alabama on the weekends (and weekdays too). CANT STOP SCOOTING!!!

Since getting a part time job I putting about 200 mi/wk communting add another 75 for joy riding and I'm up to 275/wk :D . The one of the only good things about the job is I get to ride my scoot more :wink: .

I've put a little more than 1500 in the 3 months I've been able to ride it.
(October, half of November, half of March, April)
Of course the weather here has been crappy for the last week and a half. I've only gotten to ride it once in the last two weeks, and that was just to go to the cafe around the corner for lunch :(

I bought my Buddy 125 on 5/5/2007 and as of this evening it is at 14,419 miles. 6500 of those miles when on last year alone as my commute to work went from 2 miles to 35 miles round trip. There is a good chance I will hit 20,000 miles by the end of this season. I would say the mileage is pretty evenly split between city and country ridding.

Other than regular maintenance, tires and belts, the only parts I have had to replace have been a fuel valve and two light bulbs. The fuel valve failed on the second day I had the scoot so it was likely bad from the factory. The replacement has been working fine for the last 14,089 miles.

I had 18,500 officially on my 2008 Buddy 50, although my speedometer was broken for 10 months. So I'd add 10,000 miles to that. I decided to part it out since I'd rather save up for a newer used one rather than waste more $ on repairs. I ride all winter so it was pretty beat after 3 winters of riding.

My backup buddy is a 2009 which I bought with 2,500 miles on it. It now has 3,895 miles on it after riding 2 months.

Bought her with 3510 km, she's currently at 3822 km. I hope to have the time soon to venture out of my small town and hit Boulder and the Foothills for some daytrips.

33136km, or 20589mi. now on my 2007 Kymco People 250 (acquired 3/2008 with ~1800km). Getting quite the commuter workout, with the new job! :) Runnin' like a sewing machine, and approaching my best MPG, ever (last ten fill-ups averaged 66.6MPG).

I am just a little over 10,150. I put over 4,000 on it the first few months I had it, but now I have another motorcycle too, so they have to share my time.

the one i had for 27 days i got from 0 to 268 miles ... but since we were getting ready to move i didnt wanna ride it too much, so it would have been more, tomorrow ill get my new one :mrgreen:

Don't know where it is, but I think I was on here (or maybe Modern Vespa) where a guy who owns a Vino does funky stuff on his scooter reaching a certain mileage - the vid I saw of him for 5000 miles it was, I think, he rode in an elevator on his scooter - like rode it in and then brrrr! rode out after getting to his floor (it was in a parking garage)
