Help in deciding a scooty for my gf.

Looks like all of Mahindra scooters barring the Kine i.e. Rodeo, Duro and Flyte use the same 124.6 cc engine which produces 8 Bhp power and 9 Nm torque.
I'm sure all of these are good performers. The Duro appears to be a more decent package in terms of looks.
If you decide to go for a Mahindra scooter at all then do consider the Duro.
Otherwise, both the Suzuki Access 125 and Honda Activa are fine scooters but as someone pointed out correctly, they would have a long waiting period.
Don't bother with the TVS Scooty unless your girlfriend doesn't want to handle slightly heavier scooters like the Activa or Access.Signals which are timed for 50 Kmph are also timed for 100 Kmph :)

This is news to me. My sister owns a Flyte (The Kinetic one) and is extremely pleased with it. There were a few initial niggles, that were sorted out. I do take it out, whenever I feel like having a relaxed ride. The power and pickup is good. On par with my Discover. Of course both have the same cc.Originally posted by animeher View Postvrugonnab: Even my friend is using Flyte for more than 3 years. The Flytes that came from SYM Kinetic were good. But somehow, if you see reviews of latest Flytes, the owners are not happy. Also, useful feature like lamp in the dicky are now disabled to make way for Rodeo. That's why I said Mahindra has ruined Flyte.Some of the Happiest people in the world don't have everything. They just make the best of everything life brings their way !!! Stay happy, Smile always :)

Thanks everyone for all the valuable inputs... It has indeed been a big help in making my decision...
We took a test ride and finally zeroed down on HERO HONDA PLEASURE
I was not too keen on any Mahindra scooter... Wasn't keen on getting an Activa/Aviator due to its waiting period/exorbitant "ON" price....
Booked Red Black color and there is a wait period of 1 month. The price of the bike is 48,800 including all the accessories...However the dealer informed me that the price might increase either by Rs 800, 1000 or 1500 or NIL... Will be confirming that today..
But Thanks all of you guys for putting down your suggestions and helping me out...

One suggestoin: Don't buy any accessory from them, and you will save further 1-1.5k rs. See comparison:
Accessory | dealer price | Open market price
Metal guard | 1500-2000 | max 900 + 100 fitting charges
foot rest | 500 | 250 + 50 fitting charges
Beeper | 80 | 30 + 10 fitting
As you can see, all prices are marked up by 100%!

Thanks for the info mate.. The price that FortPoint quoted i.e. 48,800 is inclusive of all the accessories.. I ll check with them what is the discount that they will offer if I do not want any accessory and then will take a call to decided whether I should go for the accessories or no....
But Thanks a lot ...
