Default Update on my new Activa
Milage: about 450 kms

Fuel Effeciency: About 45 kmpl

Problem: Starting problem when the scooter is started after 5-6 days. It requires not less than 25 kicks to start though its no more that cold in Delhi.

Guys planned to get a scooter for myself as well as my dad. So what is your opinion about both new DIO & ACTIVA. I like the looks of DIO very much unlike activa. What are the drawcard & drawbacks of DIO. suggest me.

Change the oil. The mineral we use is good for only 2500 kms.

Other than being zippy in traffic and sexy looks, Activa is far ahead of Dio. Activa has more power with 110 cc engine (in Dio it is still 102 cc engine) and gives 15% more mileage too than Dio. Storage space is also good in Activa than Dio.

You can look at Aviator too and is the best of the lot (lot better than Activa too), but it is a bit pricey.

Is there anyone who has ridden/owned both the Aviator and the Activa? If so, what would be a better choice and why?

Will a full size helmet do into the storage space of the dio
Activa & Aviator both are the best in the lot but look like a crap.(old school)
Whats would be the FE figures of the DIO? DIO has same specs like HH Pleasure it seems.
