If you maintain your stuff it will obviously last much longer than neglecting it. Common sense. And I've seen brand name scooters die from neglect as fast as any "China" bike. Here's my take on the whole longevity issue with any brand of scooter. I tend to want something new/different after four to five years. Since I take care of my scooters they are easy to sell or I just pass it on to someone who needs cheap transportation. Not saying that I'm rich, its just when I feel I got my money out of something its just easier to replace it. Usually 40,000 miles on a scooter. I passed my Burgman 200 on to a friend when I downsized to a Liberty 150. Burgman was hard and expensive to service, plus when I started parking in the garage it was just to big for my tight parking spot. Now, I keep cars forever. I'm a Subaru and Toyota fan. I expect 300,000 miles out of cars before its replacement time.
