    Pleasure is a good product having old activa engine if you use it only in city.
    (-)points:- It is not as responsive as Dio and ride quality on not so smooth road is terrible as it has only one shock absorber in the rear side(aah!..it's not Unicorn's Mono-shock buddy!). Electrical parts quality,especially switches, is not the best. Why should boys have all the fun? tag . But it does not look so feminine man!
    (+)points:- Handling is better than activa as it is lighter. It will give average of 40-45kmpl. Good quality plastics. There is enough spaces to put groceries bags, water bottle on to it. Why should gals have all the fun thought!
    New Activa is kinda same machine with little more weight, little more powerful, little more manliness and Metal replaces the plastics of pleasure. But Pricey!!

    If your father in law does not care average then close your eyes and go for Suzuki Access!

      There is gearless scooter thread in team-bhp. There are multiple users there who bought Flyte with same experiences of mine. Ground clearance is a big issue.
      reffered their website

      Spec sheet says

      Flyte and rodeo ground clearence is 115 mm any way let me test drive it.

          Aviator and TVS Wego are the best of the options.

          Though, Rodeo is good product, I would stay away from it due to its low mileage, less ground clearance, and Service issues. Rodeo is not very comfortable to ride with pillion, especially for people who are a bit obese. The foot well is very less. Nobody knows what is the exact volume of the fuel tank in Rodeo. The service manual itself says 'approximately 4.5L'. Difficult to infer how much of fuel is left. Needs frequent visits to fuel station. Difficult to estimate the FE of the vehicle. If any of the above negatives are okay for you, go ahead and buy the Rodeo. It has excellent smooth engine with good grunt. Moreover, it is feature rich. The handling is very good too and will be excellent in city.

          Now, decision is yours.

            It seems suzuki doesn't have tie up with Army Canteen
            have to check it out for mahindra (i believe they also doesnt have tie up with Army)

            so have to select from any other manufacturers

              Aviator all the way. You can't go wrong with Honda quality. Even Activa. Beside being bullet proof they fetch the best resale values.

              The service network of Suzuki is pathetic in most of the places. I ride an Access...It's has excellent built quality, ripping performance(I smoked out a few 125CC bikes), great handling and decent milage. The filp side is I have to Travel 70 KMs to get the scooter serviced. By the way I stay at Kolkata, a CAT A metro city and believe me Suzuki does not have a dealership here. It beats me till date how is this possible but it's a reality. And I own both Access and GS150, so smitten I was by the Suzuki quality. Great products are being wasted for lace of sales and service support.

                Honda is not even going to be my last choice,

                you know why

                >> It has good quality
                >> It has good resale value
                >> .. ... .... service support
                and so many in the positive side

                but i need one thing you know whats it

                * Respect: the Dealers are rude and hard to understand, and they never respect customers, behave as they dont have time to listen to us

                I was in Bangalore was hunting for a 150cc bike gone to honda showroom to book unicorn, their treatment forced me to go for something else which doesn't have the Honda logo. (any way thank them for letting me get the best bike from suzuki the GS150R )

                See TVS keeps a bike in yellow color and calling it as demo bike (am talking about TVS Jive), but Honda doesn't even have a bike or scooter to test drive.

                the same treatment i got from trichy Honda dealer while inquiring for Activa.

                If i ask for full cash they are insisting me to go for installment

                I am not a beggar i don't need to loose my self esteem (respect) to buy a Honda,

                I am customer if not treated as king i should be treated atleast on par like all
