The reason behind that was, scooter can carry more luggage than a bike. So, the search for a scooter began (on the internet, of course!!) in the month of September 2015 and decided to buy maestro for it's big appearance.
One day while just going through the Hero website, there were 2 new launches viz; the Duet and the maestro edge. I liked the Duet then and there for no reason. After a few days, me and dad went to Hero showroom to see the scooter. For our surprise, the scooter was launched a day before (in Tiruvannamalai) and we were offered a test ride too. I was satisfied with the smoothness, build quality, and the sweet engine note. Dad too felt the same. On inquiring further with the showroom guys, we came to know that there were 2 models namely the LX and VX.
The VX model has body coloured mirrors, telescopic front forks, analogue- digital speedo, boot light and USB mobile charger. The boot light and mobile charger is optional in the LX model. We booked the VX model on November 18, 2015 and the waiting period started. I use to visit the showroom for more than 5 times a week. The LX model was available but the VX was not!. Later in December, due to heavy rains the load was further delayed and the sales manager was clueless about the next load.
On december 27th when I went to the showroom as usual, to my surprise an RJ registered container was standing there. Our scooter was also in it. Talked with the showroom guys and went home after they promised me to deliver the scooter the next day. On December 28, I got a call from the showroom guy that the scooter had come and we may take it. So, went to showroom with some family friends and rode home. The machine is really too much smooth. Hero offered us a Rs.2000 discount (cash back) since I own a hero vehicle.
Fitted brake lever cover, floor mat, handle bar grip as extra fittings. Did not fit the grill set as i hate it and are prone to rust. The side stand is yet to arrive and will be fit at 1st service. Clocked some 70 kms on the odo and happy as the scooter is a pleasure to ride. Will post the pics soon.
