I've had my spree for awhile and it has about 4200miles on it. Its stock and never been apart, and runs very well and I take care of it. It's my to and from work vehicle. My question is how long will the engine go for? What kind of mileage are people getting from there scooters with normal usage?

Just keep an eye on the compression, when it drops below 100 PSI replace the rings.
A stock Spree can run a long time if you take care of it. At 2.5 HP, they don't make enough power to damage themselves.

as long as you take care of it. do proper matnece, replace gaskets and seals. it should last for ever. i mean it is a litle 2 stroke

I had a 86 black spree that had 8,000 miles. Yup them HONDAS will go forever, IF you treat them right.
