14,782 miles on my NRG

How much longer do you think it'll last? I bought it when it had 21,000 KM 3rd hand LOVELY condition £750. It's had a service every 5,000 KM. It's been treated well with top notch oil and hasn't really been ragged until I got my hands on it and now it's full throttle everywhere.

Err hang on a sec,when you bought it it had 21,000 on the clock and it now has 14,782...have you gone everywhere in reverse then?

Clever things these mopeds...they can travel back in time

Oh yeah...that'll teach me to not try to be so bloody clever AND to read posts more carefully

Well my Piaggio Typhoon is on 14,261 Miles right now and it is still sounding fine, had to replace the Spark Plug again this week as it started sounding rugged again. If the Italian electronics are anything to go by, the engine wont last much longer.

Piaggio engines are rock solid, as long as you're servicing is done by a good dealer and you are using fully synth oil it should be alright. Maybe change the piston rings at 25k or so, just to be on the safe side, depends if this has been done on any of the services though.
