I am thinking about buying a scooter...a 125cc one that goes up to 70mph. I want to know how long these scooters last.

if you maintain it and take care of it then it should last for as long as you need it to...one of my friends got a Honda CH125 scooter that is over 20 yrs old now and still runs fine. Its even been ridden offroad and taken off some pretty decent sized jumps and still runs as solid as it did the day they got it. Just change the oil once and a while and make sure the air filter is clean and that thing run forever...

Well, first, I think you're a little optimistic about going 70 mph. I have a Vino 125, and it tops off at about 50-55mph, and really, that's probably as fast as you would want to go. I do get 70 mpg, however. And that's great.
As for how many miles, the other answers are right, they can last forever. Scooters tend to be pretty simple, and pretty inexpensive, so you (or some mechanic) can keep it going for a long time by replacing parts when needed.

I live in SE Asia; there are zillions of them on the road here. I've rented a few with 50 000 miles that ran fine. Even if it does need a rebuild, so what? It's an air-cooled single that only costs a couple hundred to rebuild.
BTW you will only hit 70 mph downhill with a tailwind. 50 mph is more realistic.

ignore the spare gasoline, it is risky to hold and could weight the motorbike down. as a replace, check out the maps and hit upon each and all of the petrol stations on the course so which you be attentive to you are able to attain the subsequent one formerly you're on reserve. that's a protracted holiday so once you get there that's advisable to take the motorbike to a close-by motorbike mechanic for a normal verify over and repair. realistically you will probable be canine-drained so which you will not choose to do it your self. determine you %. a pair of pairs of earplugs, it is o.k. to experience with out them for some miles however the wind noise is plenty louder than you already know and it will fatigue you.

Not long, because if you're going 70 on that thing, you've probably just driven off a cliff.
