I was using tvs victor for 7 years but due to full tear of acl I had to bid farewell. My main purpose was button start and light weight but no compromise on performance. moment I did test ride I was really in love with it as I could very well handle and feel the light weight. Also the pick up was good. I didnt go for activa as I felt it was heavier.
After riding for 600kms I give the following review. Handling is superb. Mileage is 40kms in city with pillion and child in front. Suspension is stiff on potholes. Lacks power in 30 to 45 with pillio. Engine is refined. I went upto max 60km with no vibration. Braking lacks teeth. Its ok at speed of 25 to 30. Mirrors could have been little long.
I got vega turbo full face helmet. It fits in underseat with say small pressure while locking on seat.
Well one suggestion do inspect the scooter any one before finalising. Actually I opted for polish and after 1 week I observed that there were scratches on mudguard. Since it was way inside I asked dealer for replacement. The supervisor argued it was my fault as I must have wiped while there was dirt. But I politely approached the higherups and it was replaced. So dont go for polish as any dents or scratches doesn’t show up.
Some friends suggested to go for activa due to strong resale value and availability of spares.
Regarding availability of spares and dealer network may be activa has advantage. But I presumed that suzuki may not be that worse.
To conclude its light weight, no compromise on performance, good for city ride with decent roads.
Will give additional observations post 1st service.
