    I have ridden one for some time. It is nothing special. Best to avoid one. Keep this one as the last choice.

    Don't know why you don't like HH. I would suggest HH Passion. At least give it a test drive.

    Else Disco/Star City will be a good choice.
    Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

        The YAMAHA's build quality will be of real value considering your Dad wants a no nonsense low maintence machine.

            @ Apacherenator: As thunder said test ride both bike & choose which one is best for your dad & do check the honda shine for upgrading from 100cc bike

            Ps: Yesterday i was there @ vellore eve time seeing the traffic there i understood why are the people stick to executive segments than premium segments.

                Ya, the traffic is horrible ever since this stupid Golden Temple came up..People from all over TN,AP and KA are flooding Vellore everyday.
                The Outstation traffic has outnumbered the local traffic!!...And these AP taxi drivers do some extremely reckless driving even in these kind of traffic conditions!! The worst part is that they stuff upto 15 bald headed people inside a single Tempo Trax and drive like mad men!!..

                We natives of Vellore are so FURIOUS!!..
                It used to be such a peaceful town!!

                      Xcd?

                      How about XCD mate? Even my dad is 50+ now and he switched from Kawasaki KB100 to XCD and he is finding it comfortable.

                          how about Honda shine?...it's frugal,comfortable,maintainance won't be a headache...I guess it's one of the best options

                            Updates:

                            1) Test drove the TVS Star City ES today and i should say I was impressed by the bike..it has a gem of an engine..but I was finding it hard to get used to the hard gear shifts..may be it was because it was a brand new bike..

                            2) Yamaha G5- is now out of the picture because i have not received any positive reviews from my Friend's circle as well as here on Xbhp..also Yamaha servicing seems to be a problem here in my place.

                            3) After reading a lot of positive reviews about Bajaj Discover 100, i need to test drive the bike to make my final choice..

                            so its now finally between Bajaj Discover 100 and TVS Star City ES !!

                                Good! My choice from these 2 is the Disco 100.
