Hello, everyone! I am pushing 71 and have been riding since I was 16. I have been retired from school teaching AP Physics two years now and am riding all the time. I am trading my 650 Burgman scooter tomorrow for my 2013 Honda with about 5700 miles on it. The Burgie is a 2011 and has 28000 miles on it, all mine. I also have a 08 Sportster that I bought in 2012 with 1949 miles on it (ha!) and now has 68000 miles on it. I'm not through yet......I have a Suzuki 1981 GS650G that I bought in 06 with 26000 miles and it now has 92000 miles. I'd have more miles but an SV650 and a 1250 Bandit have come and gone since 01 also.
The Burgman never gave me any trouble but I was just getting bored with it......it's so hard to keep the front wheel off the ground for more than a few feet!
I found my Honda on CL at a dealer about 70 miles away and he was willing to give me 4000 for the scooter.......so the deal was done. I am actually picking up the Honda tomorrow, Wednesday. Ironically, the dealer told me the guy who traded in the Honda walked out with a scooter!
