    What about, Jupiter with Front Disc Brake?

        Why not the new Suzuki access 125 or the Yamaha fasino . I would choose the access for bigger tyres and a better engine than the fascino. Fascino for the sake of looks of a lambretta.

          This is what my list compromise of. Should I look any further? Say, Yamaha or others?

          Hi, I bought my TVS Jupiter in July 2015, and use it during my vacations, @55 age truly enjoy the twist & go, ownership report below.



          As I have maintained, 12" wheels on both ends is a boon on our cratered/no roads, some like Activa 125 & Maestro Edge skimp on this by giving 12" front & 10" rear wheels. I have no issues with back pain or shoulder pain, I suggest you take him for multiple TD's, and see what suits your father.

          All the best.

            Right the both 12" is a plus but braking and others is a question mark along with Hero's robust build.

              They have changed the color, chrome mirrors, chrome side panels, beige floor mat, Dual tone seat, beige panels, a new colour called Royal Wine colour etc. I dont think everyone will like these new make up. Is it worth these changes with a high price???

                Its definitely worth for the price especially the disc if you know how to handle them.

                    Okay let us stick to selecting one scooter for my Papa here.

                    PS the pricing is just right for Disc and Chrome.
