Yes, I know...this is only my second post, but in my defense - I have been lurking and reading.
Back to the question, those of you with 150cc-300cc trikes, how many miles do you have on your machine?
Have you heard of others with hefty numbers?
I'm just trying to justify the $4k in my mind with longevity....
Thanks in advance - Dave

Cool. I read somewhere on here also that one of the members had 6400 miles or so on his.
I was curious if anyone has gone over the 10k mile mark yet.

My new trike has 1400+; not even broke in yet. The Silver Wing has 21k, and the old Elite 250 39k. It will be interesting to see how the Chinese holds up compared to the Japanese.

I just put 39 miles on mine yesterday...LOL...and damn proud I didn't brake down, as I did the PDI myself!! Chain became loose, but that was expected. I hope to ride this baby to work soon to save gas, even tho my car gets around 35-38 miles to the gal. I am taking the bike, Snow Leopard, to a motorcycle mechanic this coming Saturday and have him check out my work, then off with the wheels to be balanced and off I go! BTW, still haven't received that "lost" off front axle nut, guess I'm gonna have to search further for that replacement. I DOOOOO hope I haven't spoken too soon. "Fingers and toes are crossed."

So 6500 miles is the winner? Not bad, and I know these are somewhat new.

My Silver Wing isn't under 300 cc's. It the truest sense, it isn't even a trike. It is an '08 Silver Wing I purchased used and had a Tow Pac trike kit installed on it. The original drive wheel remains to run the scoot, so it is actually a quad, hense the name, Mod Quad. On my way home from my trip to MI, the odomete rolled over 6,000. It had less than 2,000 when I bought it about a year and a half ago.
