6700 on the MP3 in the last year and a half.
4500 on the Scarebear (Scarabeo 500 ie) during the 10 months I rode it.
4800 BDU (Blur Distance Units) mostly during one season (details getting foggier). This might come out to somewhere between 300 miles and 5000 miles. The BDU is a yet undiscovered measurement of distance.
3500 on the Buddy during first year.
um... 1500 on the Concours in the last 3 years. It's just not as much fun as the scoots for everyday use. FANTASTIC for blasting around on cool back roads, though.
This is mostly utilitarian use. I'm not really one for just hoping on and riding; my brain is wired for purpose. If I don't have a destination, I can't justify riding. Well, most times anyway.

1 year and 6 days: 5017 miles. (Meant to post on its birthday: 4837? but we were having too much fun.) I hit my estimate for how many miles I'd do about right on. I was blessed with the best winter ever for riding and got to ride nearly every day! I averaged 20 miles or so 5 days a week this year, but will be upping that to 35 mi / 5 days a week, but also just inherited my husbands old car and don't expect to have the same winter, but still I'm thinking this year will add another 7500 miles.
Not a single mechanical problem so far. Did the first service around 500, second around 2500, and the last one at 4500. All at the dealership- I plan on keeping that schedule up and riding it until the wheels fall off.

So far 1,250 miles over 2 months I've owned my kymco mainly for my daily commute of about 30 miles round trip.

As of yesterday afternoon, this many:
Took me almost 38 months. Because we usually have winters here.
P.S. My max speed is only 40mph, so that means I've had 50% more time having fun doing this than a 60mph scooter that's gone this far.

My Kymco People S200 I had 7836 before I sold it. The Kymco Xciting 500 I've got 15483 (my spring, summer, fall daily driver rain or shine). The new Genuine Roughhouse 50... only 43. Haven't had posession of the RH50 a full week though. When it hits closer to 200, it will stay at that point for a little while while I do some serious modding.

2009 Stella 2t- Received Mar 2010
I got 2500 on it the first summer.
By the end of the second one I got almost 600 more on it before the engine blew up. 6 months out of warranty. Well under mileage.
Its been nothing but a headache ever since. I have learned a vast amount of knowledge about it.
I'm at 3100 now on the odometer. Don't see many miles in the near future as the replacement engine has been less than perfect.
I wished the first vehicle I bought new was a better experience.
Edit: I wouldn't want any other scooter more. I really do like it.

Oh yeah? I go through that area once a week! Should say hi!Dirvin wrote:My 2008 Buddy 50 has 9600 miles, primarily local driving back and forth to work. One new spark plug, and will need a new rear tire pretty soon, but other than that, trouble free. Drive all year in Boulder County, CO, unless there's snow on the ground, which isn't all that often.
Anyway, just about to hit 2800 since mid Jan...

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

I just rolled over a puny 3,000 on my way in this morning, and that's since Jan 2011. My commute is short (5-6 mi) and I usually don't get out much for longer rides on the weekends. But hey, that's 3000 less miles I put on my minivan. It's all about the attitude adjustment / stress relief!
