6.I prefer TVS or Honda
7.Want a good mix of Style and Mileage

EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR REPLIES

I think you should look at the TVS Wego as a solution to most of your problems.

This comparo should help you shortlist

Test for the best! Which scooter will bag number 1 title? >> Watch Video

I suggest you to get the new Dio. Looks contemporary and stylish. The 109cc engine is a gem and is more fuel efficient than any other scooters.

i suggest mahindra rodeo.
since you mentioned about bumpy roads it will make you satisfied.

fully loaded.
make sure you do your run in properly. never cross 40 and use the accelerator lightly for the first 1000 km. there after you can increase the speeds
but first and foremost the engine needs to get sealed properly during breaking it in. any scoot or bike for that matter.
the rodeo is fuel efficient too. that said no scooter will be efficient if you ride it hard. be it activa!

my uncle bought a flyte and he is glad he did not buy the heavier activa.

happy hunting or should i say happy shopping

First thing, you said you are in a school? How old are you? It may not be illegal to own a scooter, but riding without licence is surely not good.

Second, your budget is enough for any scooter. Considering the bad road conditions you require telescopic suspensions which is not present in dio/activa, the cost of ownership may be less but the price of maintenance is costlier than others so its really not worth option unless you have resale in mind. Remember here you will be buying an relatively outdated technology, not for its ride comfort but for looks and good resale value. Same goes for Suzuki Access which is little pricy and heavy for you.

TVS wego and Mahindra rodeo Rz are two cool options which come with good suspension and road clearance, great stability while riding. So I suggest you test drive both. Mileage in rodeo is little better also its lighter feel to ride. Choice is yours.

Remember: Always wear a helmet, and no stunts please.

Scooter for High-School ? Are you eligble for a license? I would rather if people proceed with their suggestions after you clarify this...

I think you qualify for a gearless under 50CC vehicle under our archaic laws.

First license then riding.

XBHP promotes safe riding which includes following the rules. ( I think )

Sorry, but unless u are 18years old only vehicle u can ride is TVS XL.
And slow chugging battery operated scooters that I don't like to recommend.

Age-old suspension doesn't mean it is disintegrated. Its still good and does well on our roads. I have used both Activa and Aviator; though Aviator has new-age front telescopic suspension, its on stiff side and it feels as good as the linked-suspension of Activa at slower speeds. Only at high speeds the suspension of Aviator feels superior. Dio has the same suspension, and unlike Activa, has better dynamics (handling).

If you want telescopic suspension, you can go for Aviator. Looks decent and built for male sex. The seating position is excellent than any other scooter and the leg space and boot space is very spacious and practical. The 109cc engine of the Honda is superior than any other scooter engine and is more reliable and fuel efficient.

If you don't like the above, as you liked, you can go for Wego.
