I bought this Jan 2012 after learning that waiting period for Activa is quite high. The advantage I saw is bigger wheel and Easy balance on bad roads. Two problem I faced with this Scooter is, it starts a Tickling noise after few Kms drive, like after getting heated up or some thing like that. I do not know exactly where the sound is coming from and Petrol Over flows through pipe to rear wheel.
Today I have given it for 1st service at VeeGee, Chennai and I have informed the problem to them too. Let us see if the problem is still persist after first service. Otherwise I like the scooter for smooth ride and easy handling.
