re: Need Advice for Buying my first Scooty

Brother, the more powerful 125 scoots will give less mileage as compared to 110cc scoots.
The mileage on 110cc motor is around 50, so naturally for 125 cc you will not get over 45kmpl.

So you should choose on the basis of your usage. If you plan to tour a lot on the scoot, get the 125cc motor, so that it may not get out of breath or overheat on using all day long.
And if you plan to use it in city most of the time and tour on it once in a month or less, then choose any 110cc motor. It will give you good mileage and can handle long rides occasionally.
Among the 110cc new maestro edge is a good choice. ticks all your requirements. Among the 125 cc, Activa would be a good choice.
Ride safe.

2016 Suzuki Access 125 (Disc) is your best option.

From the given list, I Could choose any of them blindly and wont ever repent. Height is not a problem at all. My wife is 5' and she rides my Jupiter with ease(Jupiter has one of the highest seat heights). Or you can choose Mahindra Gusto, which comes with Seat adjustment.
Expect 125 CCs to deliver around 35-40 kmpl and 110 cc around 45-50 kmpl. All are same. Test ride, and buy which ever makes you feel better.

1) Yeah 125cc will give less mileage. But what about 2016 suzuki access 125 ? Their claimed mileage is 64km/l.

2) Again agree with you sir, Maestro edge is the best choice in 110cc. As far as the service is concerned i will get good service as i stated above one of our relative works there. But the engine is newly developed so don't know how reliable will be it.

+1 from me.

Thank you very much.

yeah but Here in my area there is no suzuki showroom. I am still searching the nearby places.
Also i have heard about their spare parts problem and also about their bad after sales service.

I saw a video at youtube. There are some wires under the vehicle. you can use those to unlock the under seat storage and the fuel filling tank cap without the keys. Is it true? I am not able to find the video again

Re: Need Advice for Buying my first Scooty

Hi,

I am also in the same boat as you are, in market to buy a new scooter for me and my wife, recently i sold my CBR250 as i was not able to drive it much and now wanted a scooter which will be used for short trip to markets and crowded area. I test drove :-

All New Access 125, It is a wonderful scooter great pickup, seating and feels agile. Engine seems very refined

Activa 125, it also has the good pickup and power but slightly lower and new access 125. felt some vibrations when driving under 20 and after that it is okey. Suspension seems little hard.

Maestro edge : It contains lots of feature, before TD i was zerod on this vehicle, but when i drove it, engine was a big let down, above 40-50 it gives up and take time to increase speed and too much vibration when in slow speed below 20kmpl.

Jupiter , Wonderful scooter, decent pickup, breaking etc. Handling is great, and 12 inch wheels front and back. But the old gen console is a big thumbs down. Also the color which i like (blue) comes with beige interior to which i feels hard to maintain in long run.

Now i am confused which one to go for .

All new Access 125: Heart says to go for it. But not sure about Suzuki after sales support and parts,

Activa 125 : Expensive than access 125, didnt like much the hard suspension setup as i want comfort too due to back pain issue. So i am very doubtful as this will be a hit or miss for me.

Jupiter : All round scooter but old looking console, beige interior. And around equal (1k less) than all new access 125.

So currently in dilemma on which scooter to pick. Any suggestions

Thanks

@rajpandey10 +1 for you.
Bro my heart also sets and did not want to move from Suzuki Access 2016 version( I did not get chance to test drive as of now). but the problem is that in my area there is no suzuki showroom. And also the after sales service and spare parts availability issue is there with suzuki.

If you have any suzuki showroom/dealer in your nearby area you can go with it.

i also had many doubt about maestro edge pickup because of higher rpm torque and power which is not in the case of jupiter. it have lower rpm torque than maestro edge. But you are right about the old age meter cosole which is a big let down.

One suggestion from me :- just enquire about some spare parts at suzuki showroom like new access air filter and oil filter etc. If available than one doubt will clear.

Yes, Maestro Edge have that vibration sound under 20/25kmph speed, at higher speeds the scooter runs very smooth and efficiently. But once it cross above 1000kms or above, then the vibration goes away. See the other thread of Hero Duet ownership experience where it is clarified (Maestro EDge & Duet have same engine).

All Scooters are good but it depends on what features you want etc etc..

Jupiter is good but some dont like the old age meter console . Likewise every scooter will have plus or minus..!!

Looks like when i was posting, some of the words were deleted, actually i meant to say that :-

Maestro edge : It contains lots of feature, before TD i was zeroed on this vehicle, but when i drove it, engine was a big let down, above 40-50 it gives up and take time to increase speed, and too much vibration when in slow speed below 20 kmpl.

Re: Need Advice for Buying my first Scooty

See below thread on Hero Duet, incase you have not seen it yet. You will get some more idea how good the engine and performance is: (both Duet & Edge engines are same)

Hero Duet - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Share what you think about the motorcycle you own or have owned in the past.

Thanks Both Raj and Nairrk Bro. I think it will be good if i can arrange test drive (i will try). Sometimes the test drive vehicles are not tuned properly so it will be good if i can arrange test drive. Actually in my area there is no test drive vehicle available, but one of our relatives work there so i will try to arrange a test drive through him.

Re: Need Advice for Buying my first Scooty

Bro GO FOR MAESTRO!!!!

But I believe we should buy these gear less scooters if we want to drive them in a Happy Go Lucky mood I mean to say drive them in constant speed and about 40-50 or max 60 kmph.

I have an RTR180 I have been driving it since April 2011 to til date and you know I never driven it below 60/70 kmph. but now I love to drive my Maestro at 40-50 kmph. Its really smooth but yes it gives vibration at starting 10 20 kmph.

Thank you Bro,

I will drive it @40-50 kmph and on highway 70kmph will be my max speed that too occasionally. Bro can you tell me the performance after 60kmph is there too much vibration after that? Also is it feels too much Powerless after 60-70kmph?

Thanks
