Scooter mileage

So whilst looking for my first 125 scooter, I see a few with fairly big mileage. Does anyone have any experience of high mileage scooters?

I'm guessing the Hondas etc cope with it better than others.

I wouldbt usually buy a sscoot with more than 10k on it, after that mileage things start to get expensive very quickly as you start having to replace parts like wheel bearings, fork seals, bushing etc

My 2003 piaggio typhoon 125 2t has just under 44,000 kms on the clock and still on the main bearings/crank. It did wear the barrel out but other than that the engine has never been apart yet. I have owned her from new though. It's our 10 th anniversary this march.

Honda 125's fairly good/such as innova-ps.but be cautious of any with speedo problems or
needing new cable as a few ex-pizza delivery and quite frankly have the nuts caned off them 24hrs a day.
