Wonderful thread Srinath.. a big cheers to you for this.. because Priya was also my first ride.. My dad's first scoot and in which I learned riding when I was 15.. A mild green beauty which where with us for more than 17years.. My dad still recalls the memories of buying her and taking her home from the showroom 230 km's away

that too after a booking period of 6 months

Everything with her is a lovely memory.. going to school, weekend trips etc.. but good things never last long.. my dad had to sell her for some reason.. but now I'm on a constant search to find her and retain her so that I could keep her as a token of my childhood memories.. Hopes God will help me in this.

Best of luck for the rebuild.

Nice asset !! Marvel was very good scooter (don't know about 110cc), my brother used it for 89K kms and sold it off due to rip-off svc charges, the only -ve point was front headlight housing, used to crack off on bumpy rides and used to irritate the ride.....all said Marvel was excellent machine. And to me it's styling is far better than present scooters, I am sure similar styling will come up in future !!

yep,i have changed it 3 times

.since the body parts are of fibre,the whole scooter vibrates which is very irritating.
