        Agree with Prince here - Wego seems to be a better VFM scooter in the present market.

          From Honda the only change I can suggest is Pleasure, any other scooter will be a degrade(in terms of reliability, engine refinement). Test drove Wego last month, the engine refinement is nowhere close to Honda.

            Thanks for all advices...my wife test driven rodeo and she liked it. so we have bought white color rodeo. it is light weight than Dio and good riding experience in roads.

            today is the first day and we drove scooter around 65 kilometer and we like Front Fueling , Telescopic Suspension , Mobile charger, Light under the seat and light weight. My wife is 5 feet only and she can handle rodeo better than Dio

                Great choice.... Contrary to perception, Mahindra-Sym scooters are pretty refined. The Rodeo in White is the best looking scooter IMO. Congrats on your purchase. But do make sure you get it serviced only at an authorized A.S.S. not too many mechanics around are not familiar with these things.

                  TD Wego and u both will change idea about Rodeo, Wego is miles ahead compared to Rodeo. Vehicle is slim-trim, petite, very easy to control in traffic. Your wife will love it no matter if choice is already made among.

                  I've one since last 11 months and clocked 4k, still I think its very recent that we'd purchased it. No tensions, no gimmicks, no screw-loosening, nothing... Just the usual service as per manual and its always feel like touchwood the day it returns from servicing...
                  You must be the change you wish to see in the world

                    Sorry for the OT.. Vipin, please stop going over the board with Honda.. we all know they are refined & reliable, but there are other scooters like Suzuki Access which are even better. Ride them to get an idea. Honda is not the only one offering scooters. The engines used in Mahindra line up of scooters (made by Sym) are the most dominant ones in South Asia (excluding India of course).

                      I don't deny!!! But what's the point to have best engines & products when service is poor?

                      My co-brother bought a Rodeo 3-4 months ago & are requested by dealer to live with the problems. Don't ask me what, that's was one last sentence he said when I asked him about his ride. But for sure, they're niggling one & nothing related to engine, carbs or engineering.

                        I'm not sure what kind of problems your brother is facing, but my friend is using flyte for last two years and he is very happy with product & service. That too in a smaller city like Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh.

                          Like I said before, those are niggling issues & not major ones. That's least expected out of a vehicle just out from showroom. May be Mahindra fixed them quietly now just like what they did for Stallion.

                            No, it's not stopped. Flyte is still in production and doing decent numbers, thanks to long waiting list of competition.

                              +1 to that.

                              My sister's using a Flyte since 2 yrs as well and it is as refined as it was on day-1. It still does a 80kmph on the speedo without any hiccups (Can't say the same about my discover 125 though). It's clocked 30k Kms now. Most people seem to think Honda is the only scooter maker in the world. Honda is good, but other's are not bad either.
