Mine only has a whopping 1206km/749miles!!  Dont quote me on this but i think Blue had one last like 29,000 miles before he hit a pothole and tore the shiz out of it, so i guess 6000+ isnt much.
WTF, i have a Ninja 650!!

I've seen some big mileage numbers from a few people, both here and elsewhere. 30,000+ miles.
As long as you're being religious with maintenance and upkeep, it should run a good, long time.
Just keep good oil and gear lube in it, and change it regularly.
Check the spark plug at regular intervals, and replace in when needed.
Check and adjust the valves when they need it.
Also, make it a point to check for loose bolts and loose wire connections as often as possible. That can save you all kinds of headaches down the road.

Take good care of the scoot, and the scoot will take good care of you.
Don't take care of the scoot, and it will take a huge dump on you in return!

I had about 22,000km on my Kymco 50 before she died and had to push it home for a bit.  This was back in early March (2014).  Rode her hard and 365/24/7 for almost but not 5 years.  Not a leisure scoot.  Work and errands (no car).  I put her up on Craigslist and it sold for $175 "as is" and I was lucky that a local Scooter repair shop bought it.  They were kind enough to let me know what caused her to die, which was the motor had no compression.  By this time, the muffler had just rusted through and having sat for 6 weeks, the bearings in the wheels and some other stuff dried out (IMO).  She was almost DOA.  As far as I know, they have brought her back to life. She was a good a scooter and hated to see it go.  They put a new motor in it and still working on it, but she will be providing someone else now with reliable transportation. 

As a side note: I am no mechanic and maintained her as best I could which included only changing gear oil and motor oil and about 2x a year cleaning the carb, replacing belts - rollers, etc. But I rode it hard and was a good scoot.  First two years where all under warranty maintenance and paid for.

It was hard to see her leave.  Much gratitude for my Kymco Agility 50.

Not sure, I only changed mine just for good measure, when I put the new one on, I compared it to the old one (the old one still looked good) and it had stretched by 2 mm or so, didn't put a tape on it.

At roughly 75 MPG I fill up twice a week. Been doing that for about 3 years on the same engine.

2x75 = 150
150x52 = 7800
7800x3 = 23400 miles

Cool.
