Longest trip was 25 miles there, and then 25 miles back a few hours later, so 50 roundtrip.  On my agility.

longest trip on agility was 200km and I'm planing to go into a 500 km trip when I will have money

Have trust in little scoot it will go whatever your destination will be ...don't forget to put gas in tank and that's it ...:)

Very well said...  So far, my scoot feels almost bulletproof, and seems to be willing to go as far a I am willing to ride.

Sometimes I just get on my scoot and ride country roads, without any particular destination in mind.  I put over a hundred miles on it one afternoon.

650 kms in one direction on Kawasaki 750 cc, without problems.
With People 250 S, 250 kms in one direction, two up, all the time on the highway, indicated 140-155 km/h.

When I had 50 cc, the longest trip I did was around 300 kms in one day, but I was much younger then. :)
Mind you, 300 kms means traveling through three states in my case (Croatia, Slovenia, Italy) and crossing corresponding number of borders.

Agility 50 is Honda Goldwing compared to what I rode at the time (Peugeot Zenith 50 cc with 10" tires :).
