    I reside at Mylapore near Mandaveli and I am Buying through CSD Canteen. My dad is an Ex-ARMY.

    I saw the CSD List and there were 4 scooters. Tvs Wego(No Jupiter), Suzuki Access and Swish(No Let's), Hero Pleasure and Maestro, Honda Activa, Activa -i, Dio, Aviator(No Activa 125)

    The List that I saw is 5|4|2014 Updated list! Activa 125 and Let's Came after that date only! So, They are yet to update the list!!!
    Mylapore! You have a Honda sales & service center in mandaveli(MPL Honda). Not a problem for Honda. For Suzuki you have to come to adyar bridge near malar hospital for service.

    Remember the Honda Activa,Activa-i & Dio, Hero Pleasure & Maestro carries the old leading link type front suspension. This gives you lot of ups & downs on bad roads. In & around mylapore the corporation used to dug the roads often. You know how bad it is. Go for the scooter with front telescopic suspension.

    BTW the Activa 125 & Suzuki Let's is new in market. Not reviewed much.

As swish also carries the same engine, it should be reliable. And the mileage I'm getting is 42+ in the city and 50+ in highways. I reside at the base of the hills so its not plain here. So I'm sure in the plains it will give 45+ in the city itself. But I always use castrol edge 5w40 full synthetic oil.
        Do you own a car too? How much does a litre of castrol edge 5w40 full synthetic cost(MRP)?
        Have you tried any JASO-MB certified oils, like Motul Scooter LE 10w30. It costs about 210/- per 800ml bottle.

        Did a 220 km trip on Access with a pillion. My dad reckons it delivered more than 50 kmpl from that trip.

        We can presume Swish delivers more mileage compared to Access as it shares same engine & weighs 5kg less.

        Activa 125 definitely has an upper hand at price-tag they're offering.

          Is this city mileage? I am going to drive it in Chennai like Nungambakkam, Chetpet, Cathedral Road.

          That's why I asked for.

            I didn't know you were asking for city mileage.

            Of course not, those are highway + newly-laid-tarmac-road figures; Access gave me 43-44 kmpl on average when it was in B'luru.

              Yes I have been using that oil in my old zen vx. Actually I live in Nepal and here a litre of that oil costs Rs. 1400 NPR (Rs. 875 INR). Other than that I previously had used Motul Semi Synthetic in my fz but was not quite impressed. I liked the edge better. Actully I wanted to use the motul 300v but motul is not available here where and I have to get that oil from siliguri which is around 170 kms from here. So havent got a chance to test that yet..:-) But before edge I used to use castrol active 20w40 but not the indian made ones but the imported dubai ones. That oil used to be good for aroumd 1800-2000 kms under normal riding.

              Cheers!!

                No one? Can anyone tell me about the city traffic mileage of the Suzuki Swish?

                      My father's access gives 40+ inside city condition. He used to travel length & breath of Chennai city. He ride around 40-50 kmph.

                      It's all about how you manage the throttle control. Remember scooters is for convenience seekers. If you are looking better mileage, choose 100-125cc bikes.

                        FYI, I am having a hero Honda splendor and kinetic Honda and use them personally.

                        This scooter is for all in our family including mom, dad, brother, uncle, cousin sister and me too.

                        That's why I can't buy a bike. So settled on scooters. My brother, me, and my dad are speed junkies who always rip hard.
                        My mom and sister wants mileage.

                        So the choice is what???

                          Ah..Difficult to say! Speed junkies choose swish/access. For mileage, Honda Activa & i would do.

                          Choice is yours.

                            What about the ride quality of the swish? Also give a short note about their ASS too!

                              Take a test ride & you will know it. Every service centre for other manufactures is not so good.

                                Ride quality is stiffer. Fiber body will start rattling after few years and SUZUKI will not have any answer for this. ASS absolutely pathetic !!. Go for Honda for better ASS.
