    Hi XBhpians,

    Need suggestion on buying a gearless vehicle for my brother....My brother has a 2007 model honda activa...and he is planning to take a new one. his height is 5' 9" mileage must be around 50-60 km/l.

    i have a list:

    Hero Maestro
    Honda Dio
    Honda Activa (New)
    Suzuki Access / Suzuki Swish
    TVS Wego
    Yamaha Ray



    Thanks
    Shubha

    Query Approved


    The Suzuki Access should be good for him

        I don't think any gearless scooter will return 50-60kmpl. Only the Hondas (Activa / Dio / Aviator ) and the TVS Wego will come close to that figure.

        How old is your brother? Is he not interested in buying a bike this time around?
        Advice is a form of nostalgia.
        Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

          Depends on what your brother prefers (looks vs performance). For looks, I'd prefer a Wego or a matt-black Dio. A Suzuki 125 (Swish/Access) would give a notch more power compared to the 110s.

          But no scooters returns 50kpl practically. 45 is the best you can expect.

          Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

            mileage 45-50 km/l is ok. my brother is 28 years old. well, he is not interested in bikes.
            Better to try out Honda Activa
