OK, here's my two cents on this topic. Will a Chinese GY6 last as long under the same conditions as a Chinese SYM GY6 or Honda PCX. No. That's why you have to observe the limits. Cruise all day at 45 mph and 3/4 throttle on a Chinese GY6 150, it will last a good long time. Someone mentioned Acworthpatricks Automoto, he just passed 40,000 miles. What he didn't mention is his Baccio GY6 scooter. he's well above 45,000 miles on that and, yes, he just replaced the rear gears but not the engine bits.
What I find interesting is this "My expensive 50cc scooter will outlast a cheap GY6". I would think so. At $2000 for a 50cc Piaggio Typhoon or Aprilia, I would hope so.
Here's my point. Plenty of people out there are nailing down incredible miles on cheap GY6s by riding with their heads. Truth be told Chinese GY6s are like Harleys. Mod and ride them hard-they blow up. Leave them stock, do the maintenance and ride sensibly and they get high mileage.
It's a Universal Formula.
