2011 Jonway, YY150T-29, purchased March of 2012. Miles covered to date... 11,292. and not a single breakdown....not even a burned out light bulb. The only parts that have worn out are tires and belts, and the original battery. It is truly a wonderment how well it starts, idles, and runs.....it has been a pleasure to own.

"Minnie Mouse"... A 2007 Kymco Grandvista 250. 18,355 miles on her clock. Sadly, I only put on the last 3,000... The original owner "broke her in" nearly 100% on the highway. He said the mouse has been from New York to California, and from Canada to Mexico. All ridden near WOT riding 2-up with his Wife and loaded down with luggage.  Only maintenance needed was done by my dealer when the original owner traded her on a new fuel-injected Kymco 300. That included a new belt, battery, brake-pads, muffler and tires. All hoses, electrics, etc. are original '07 stuff and soft, pliable and good as new. She doesn't use a drop of oil or coolant... All electrics are still perfect including that irritating "Darth Vader" digital dashboard with bar-graph tach and temp gauge. Even the electric folding mirrors still work as-new. Perhaps the MOST amazing "bullet-proof" part is the SEAT upholstery... Zero wear showing after all these hard years and miles!
She's as reliable as my family Honda Accord.Like Kat, some health-issues and bad weather have kept me from riding much this season, but here in Texas, we do get a good number of riding days even in the winter... So... I'm looking forward to putting some miles on the mouse yet this year. This particular Kymco has proven to be an excellent buy even 9 years old, and with 15K miles already on her clock when I got her. Only mod done by original owner is a one-tooth up-gear in the final drive. She'll still do an honest 80-mph+ on the flat with no wind, and cruise 65-70 up and down hills in the wind. Unfortunately, THAT is still NOT fast enough to be really safe in local  - -mph freeway traffic, but she can still get me down the road if I REALLY "watch my six" while "crawling along" at 70...
I rode Harleys for a half-century, and am AMAZED at how satisfied I am with a decade-old Taiwanese SCOOTER!
Ride safe, mile after mile!Leo in Texas

I'm coming up on 7000 miles. With about 4000 on the NCY 61mm bbk. My scoot has been great and only once has it left me stranded, but I can't complain it was my own fault. I wanted to see how many miles I could get from a cvt belt... ya, not one of my better ideas.

9k on my Phoenix
5k on my nephew's Icebear
6k on my other nephew's Rocketa
The Icebear just broke down, and appears to have a crankshaft problem from the noise. Plan on splitting the case this weekend to see what's up.
Blew the spark plug out of the head a few months back on the Phoenix, can only assume it was my fault with improper spark plug installation. Went ahead and put in a BBK and new head, no issues since.
The Rocketa had a bad installation of the drive face opposite the variator, allowed the teeth to grind off. Replaced and haven't had any issues since.

Well there are 29 votes by 20 users. Hopefully many more miles to everyone, too.
I guess I should lock this soon?
