I bought a Mahindra Duro in October 2009. I have run 9000 kms. My verdict is....
Good features
1. Fuel Tank 6 lts
2. Space below seat
3. Leg Space
4. Front Boot space
5. Pickup
Bad Features
1. Just loves speed breakers. Does not leave any speed breaker untouched
2. Parts quality very bad. Seat has already taken bucket shape. Center stand vibrates causing lot of vibrating noice.
3. Breaks need very frequent re-fit
4. Service quality is pathetic and worst
5. Mileage has never crossed 40 even after service center claiming to have tuned it
6. Faulty fuel guage reading
7. The acclerator handle comes off the scooter
8. I am now experiencing drop in pickup and speed i.e. response to acceleration
9. After 40 kms speed the scooter gives a strange engine noice of woowing
10. I am also experiencing wobling, to which service center says fork is loose. I wonder if they have fixed it.
At current levels of service, please dont buy one. If your service center is Mahaveer Mortors in Bangalore, never ever buy it.
Thank You
