In the marketplace for a gearless scooter and aft going done reviews of BS6 scooters, I've realised that I person massively underestimated the enactment process.

My emblematic usage is astir 200km/month (about 6-7km/day).

My requirements, successful bid of precedence are:
1. On roadworthy fund upto 1.10L max
2. Reliability and hassle escaped ownership
3. Ride quality
4. Fuel efficiency
5. Storage abstraction
6. Service enactment

Not peculiar astir power, cubic capacity, resale, etc.

I had shortlisted, successful bid of preference:
1. Access 125
2. Activa 110
3. Jupiter 125
4. Dio 110

I've excluded Yamaha Ray-ZR arsenic I consciousness it's plan suits amended a people assemblage mode younger than I am.

From the reviews I've watched, looks similar each scooter shortlisted supra was comparatively reliable successful their pre BS6 avatars, but each of them look to person reliability issues (mostly starting and missing issues) successful their BS6 forms. Is that truly the lawsuit with BS6 scooters?

People who own/use BS6 scooters, however has your acquisition been, and what would you suggest for my requirements

I volition urge following:
Retro: Access 125 - caller dual code looks good
Big: Burgman 125 - ample capable for man, but not updated since eternity
Big: Jupiter 125 - caller 1 looks bully but I haven't tested it
Slim: Activa 125 - truly bully with keyless entry, precise creaseless engine
Suzuki Avenis 125 - Smaller mentation of Burgman.

Check your requirements, whether you request large carrying capableness oregon tin bash with a tiny one. Top proposition volition beryllium Burgman oregon Activa 125 keyless introduction version.

As an proprietor of the latest Activa 125 and the Access 125, I'll stongly urge the latter
- much almighty motor (I've felt it erstwhile I instrumentality a pillion and kids)
- feels sturdier (The mechanics to unfastened the under-seat feels sturdier and the beforehand hook feels sturdier too)
- bigger spot and level board.
- perfectly occupation free

This whitethorn beryllium unpopular but I urge the mentation WITHOUT keyless entry, touchscreen and beforehand discs. In my opinion, scooters request to beryllium reliable and these truthful called "value adds" whitethorn not enactment large aft respective years. I'm besides against beforehand disc brakes for scooters due to the fact that its much unsafe successful the hands of inexperienced users and is frankly not needed.
