I'd like to hear of the highest mileage achieved on a Spree without having the engine rebuilt.
I'll start it off although I don't think it's that high.
2445, then a ring broke.

3550 miles on an original engine, and it still runs strong!

Pff, im at 8289.
I know the motor was replaced at one time about 4 years ago with another old original motor. My friend daily drove it for about 4 years, so he racked em up.

Sorry I didnt pay too much attention to the topic title. Sorry its not a Spree but a Elite SR.

Those miles are iimpressive. Gives me hope.
With 10,000 on the Elite perhaps longevity is better with that model.
I've thought about going to a Honda dealer and buying a new scotter. A friend recently bought one, don't know the model, but she said the sticker price was $1999 and she took one with all the options, final price was around $3000. I dunno what options you'd get on a scooter .... power windows, power door locks and air conditioning perhaps.....lol.
