Good morning everyone! Just wanted to ask how many miles an xciting 500 could go if well taken care of? I know what high milage is on a car and when to start looking for a new one, but no idea on our scoots. Also If I may ask, What is the most milage you've seen on an xciting? Any light you could shed on this matter would be wonderfull! I thank you all for your time!!

HAPPY SCOOTIN !!!!

I've seen an XC500 with over 80K miles on it through craigslist.  Don't know if it was true or not... but that's one hell of a significant riding if you ask me.

500 cc thumper without manufacturing defect should see trouble-free 100.000 kms at least.
