1, the Keeway Venus. $50 on chrome.
2, the Triton probably around $600 on power and grip and $20 on paint.
3, the Kymco around $500 on power and grip.
4, the KZ $200 on esthetics. No more power needed...
Still have 3 out of 4 of those rides and the triton is sitting at the dealer. Very tempted to buy it back...

I spent about $300 on CVT upgrades, and another $150 on body panels, new trunk and paint.
$250 on an exhaust I've yet to install, that was for looks, stainless steel. $60 on repairs to the Baron. Oh, $300 for the new engine in the Baron.
So probably about $1000 on both scooters, not counting riding gear. But I saved $400+ a season on gas for 5 years....

I'm not gonna post what I've spent on the drag scoot due to prying eyes over my shoulder at times. What she don't know won't hurt me. LOL I just don't really remember what was for the drag and what was for everything else. I spend to much to remember it all, according to momma.

I'm not sure, but would you count it as spending money on your scooter, if you buy a new scooter so you can still ride while you fix the first one? LOL.
