This is the 11th bike that I have ridden 20K or more miles on.

Thanks for sharing. And I know you have lots of good rides putting those miles on.

Cool beans!
Your other rides are an ADV and the Majesty?
How many on them?
I think I've noticed that some here ride a lot, DIY rarely. Others - just the opposite.

My DTX360 has just rolled over the 1,000 mark :D

Neil, do you work commute? I'm strictly a pleasure rider. Always felt the daily commuter should be a good source for a machines qualities. The big Burgman scooters are the scooter choice around here for the daily ride in all kinds of weather, and see thousands of miles of use.

Klav - pretty incredible mileage for a small scoot in such a short period of time! Can you give us an ownership update at 20K? I know you’ve had a few small issues, but overall, how would you rate it?

I don’t have the slightest idea who you may be referring to..rarely riding and frequently DIY’ing?…… ::)

Delighted to say not any more Art. 😀. My days of 30K+ miles a year on my bikes are behind me now.
The miles I do now are purely optional and for fun. I can highly recommend it!

When I was ready to downsize from my Burgman 400, I advertised in the Burgman forum.
A fellow in your neck of the woods (Portland, Oregon) Bought it, and paid for shipping from Ohio.
He owned a bicycle shop, and had never owned a motorized vehicle of any kind!
He sent me pics....rode that baby and camped with it all over the northwest 🙂

20K miles is not a lot of miles for 4 1/2 years. If it had been more reliable I'd easily be well over 25K by now. When it's running right it's an awesome scooter but it has been the least reliable bike I have ever owned. Right now its running great. It still runs like new. I haven't ridden it in several days because I was out riding one of my other bikes.

So far this year I have ridden more miles on my like than any of my other four bikes but after nearly 400 miles on my KLX in a couple of days it's catching up fast.

My 2012 majesty which I bought new in 2015 has around 31K miles
My ADV 150 which I bought a year ago has 3800 miles.
I also have a 2012 Kawasaki Versys 650 which I bought new in 2014 which has 33K miles and my KLX250 which I bought three years ago has around 12K

my agility just hit 10,500 KM and is still going strong. Nice to see their are some other kymco Bikes that are well maintained.
