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

Coming up on 2,000 on my Buddy 125. Just got it last year.

Bone Girl has 40,000 on one scooter and nearly 30,000 on another. (I swear the girl must ride 20hrs a day!

) 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

pdxrita · Post by **pdxrita** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 2:47 pm

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.

3,700 on my 2012 170i since October 2011.

26,172 as of yesterday's fill-up. Bought in July of 2008.
I wonder how many miles I would have if I didn't live where it snows?......

Dammit, only 4400 on mine and I bought it the same month.

I got mine in October last year and reached 1495 miles today.

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.

Tam Tam · Post by **Tam Tam** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 1:39 am

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...

skully93 · Post by **skully93** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 2:59 am

Just over 1200 on mine.

deathbytray · Post by **deathbytray** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:21 am

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.

tenshi · Post by **tenshi** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:38 pm

6,300 miles since August 2011.

pugbuddy · Post by **pugbuddy** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 3:56 pm

Just passed 20k a day or so ago. That is from 2007 to present although I took the trip from Tulsa to New Orleans for AV on a different scoot.

Almost 4000 here..

jijifer · Post by **jijifer** » Tue May 01, 2012 12:20 am

Just rolled over 24K this weekend. It had 1350 on when I bought it used in March of 2009. Under 23K for me alone since March 2009. Avg of 7550 a year. honestly first 2 years I did 20k. this last year as been the slow riding year.

Hwarang · Post by **Hwarang** » Tue May 01, 2012 1:17 am

Approaching 9,000. I'm hoping to break 10k this summer but I'm splitting my time between two bikes now.

Keys · Post by **Keys** » Tue May 01, 2012 6:31 am

Had 14,000 on my Buddy when I sold it...now have just over 11,000 on my SYM HD200..

JHScoot · Post by **JHScoot** » Tue May 01, 2012 8:06 am

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.

scubadoobie · Post by **scubadoobie** » Tue May 01, 2012 1:49 pm

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!

BeefSupreme · Post by **BeefSupreme** » Tue May 01, 2012 3:57 pm

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!!!

2wheelNsanity · Post by **2wheelNsanity** » Tue May 01, 2012 4:15 pm

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

. The one of the only good things about the job is I get to ride my scoot more

AWinn6889 · Post by **AWinn6889** » Tue May 01, 2012 4:22 pm

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

Mutt the Hoople · Post by **Mutt the Hoople** » Tue May 01, 2012 4:28 pm

312 miles... And I have not had the chance to ride it since April 16th... I've been helping a friend out with a gallery how that she is doing.... And no time to scoot. Can't ride the scoot to her place as she lives at I-70 and Hwy 157 and I only have a 50cc. Waaaaaa

I miss my Buddy

mia_mali · Post by **mia_mali** » Tue May 01, 2012 8:54 pm

about 10,000 in the last year

minuteman · Post by **minuteman** » Tue May 01, 2012 9:30 pm

i put 8-10k/yr on mine. got my 06 blur in oct 08 and she had 1,500 on her. by end of 2011 i had 30k. i ride all year, though, except in snow.

350kmi · Post by **350kmi** » Tue May 01, 2012 10:43 pm

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.

adorkable8605 · Post by **adorkable8605** » Wed May 02, 2012 2:03 pm

Almost at 15,000 and I've had it since the end of last July

Well, I just hit 1500 this morning. Glad I have 10x easily ahead over the next year

looking at these numbers, I'm feeling pretty lucky I got my 2006 with only 5000 on it !

Tam Tam · Post by **Tam Tam** » Thu May 03, 2012 1:02 am

Just hit 4900 tonight on the Blackjack! - yet to crack 2k on the Stella.

kooky scientist · Post by **kooky scientist** » Thu May 03, 2012 1:33 am

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.

Marly1312 · Post by **Marly1312** » Tue May 15, 2012 2:45 am

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

that leads me to another question,
do you do anything special for a BUDDY BIRTHDAY ? like every 1000 or 10k miles??? i used to give my car a VIP premium wash,wax and polish every 10k miles

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)
