Just recently saw an xciting 500 with 32k while out riding and today saw a super 8 with 43k in the parking lot. Impressive I would say.

A whopping 210 miles on my new AK550. Loving it more every day.

Today filled 19 000 km on Like 50 4t 2011, 45 kmh moped EU version. New used cylinder on 18 750 km because of the lack of compression due to no oil change/add in 7 000 last km.
Runs fast enough, and now with also variator service done I will use this at least this season/year, and hoping for goos used Honda Vision 50 after this. With EFI starts better than carburator, and low gasoline also ( 2.1 liter/ 100 km)

My both LIKEs 200i, northern Italy,
 but I have to admit only a few kilometers on those scoots are done by me. Both came from south of Italy, where there is no salt or gravel used on roads.
-the red one MY 2010, 49.000 kms, bought sept 2020 with 47.000
-the blue LX MY 2013, 44.000 kms, bought  just a few weeks ago.
Both have been refurbished by me and running great.

Ruffus, the body panels look great on both of your higher mileage scoots! Did you do anything to them to get them looking like that?  Most higher mileage scoots (heck, even low mileage scoots) around here usually show a lot of damage from being scratched, bumped, dropped, etc.

Did you do any paint touch up, buffing, polishing, etc.?

Finally, what product do you use on your black plastics? Those floorboards look brand new...not the usual faded gray of most scoots that see the sun.

@Iahawk,
both scoots have minor scratches, I'm using cheap AREXXON car polish to do some body buffing. For the greyish-black parts I use fine stainless steelwool to roughen the surface and get rid of scratches, then the whole part gets a warming with a hot air pistol to melt and recolor this tiny fibers again. But needs a light hand and patience.

well, from a distance the scoots look flawless!  So you're using the 'heat gun' trick on your black plastics? I've heard that can work very well. Do you find it only lasts a certain length of time before the plastics start looking gray , again?

[Ruffus]

..hmmh, I treated former motorcycles and "vintage-youngtimer" car with this heatgun remedy, I might say it lasted always until I gave them away. So, for sure 2-3 years with garage keeping.
