Amen brother. The eco-tech engine is bullet proof. Just change the oil every 3K and normal maintenance. 251K and all I replaced major was a fuel pump. Likes my Chebbys. That '96 is paying you every day.

I’d forgotten about that, you’re probably right. I have always maintained it and kept tire pressures correct so I’m doing my part.

I need one of those, is that mileage verified?

[Scutter]

Yes, but it’s not surprising you can get that sort of mileage with the relatively small scooter or a motorcycle. I’m amazed, though, that a much larger vehicle (a car) is able to approach that mileage.

The Virago was a 2 wheeler, too. It was an-unusual-in-America V-twin Yamaha of a configuration not sold much in the US because it had an enclosed chain which Americans don’t like due to of aesthetic considerations.
