[replyingto=spandi]spandi[/replyingto]Wow!!..and I was surprised when I sold a kid a 2004 Tank Urban Sporty that had 18,200 miles. All stock..belt ...plug etc. 1,000 miles later he needed a new belt...even the Bando one had its limit. I did a few valve adjustments and replaced the fuel filter once in all those miles. Kid is still riding it..needs rings BADLY..he puts out more smog than Los Angelos.. ;D But 214,000 miles..sounds like my Moms '92 Volvo GL..still going..  spandi..ok..just a guess.. but do you think he has 1 or 2 too many zeros in his post??.. |

[replyingto=spandi]spandi[/replyingto]Yeah..just did the math..he put on about 33k per year. I would quit my job if the commute was that long...cause even on a Scoot the gas cost would be outrageous...  |

Maybe he delivers Pizza and/or Chinese scooter parts? (it would explain a lot)

[replyingto=spandi]spandi[/replyingto]Most likely he delivers Chinese CDI's...Lightbulbs and Belts..but I have been lucky cause most of those will last up to a week or more. 4 months in fact if you store the Scoot for winter.. So for that mileage it comes out to about 214 oil changes..hmm..4 bucks a quart = $856.00. Yikes...Oil cost him more than the Scoot did!!..  |

BS ! Bull Shazz!
No way you're going to tell me that the original engine of what looks to be like a 50cc gets any more than 21k Miles!
Besides, a china bike with 214k miles on does not look new like that bike does!
When you click on the photo it says 214 miles, not 214,000.
lol
It's a farce!

Hold up now man..maybe he uses Turtle Wax and Armor All daily to keep it so fresh..then he added the 3,000 mile shipping to his odometer? Nope that still does not make 214K. Possibly he meant he has a tooth that is 21K Gold?..  |

Believe me, delivering Cheap Chinese pizza parts eats up A LOT of miles! 214K is well within the operating parameters of just such an enterprise.  |

If it had 214k miles on it, I'd ask the owner to pay me money to accept that 'bike', or whatever's left over from it!
