I own a hero honda pleasure since last two years.and till now I drove it 28000 km.its really an affordable, maintenance free scooter.till now only maintenance is rear wheel bearing changed for rs 100, and labor charges 120rs.
I serviced my scooter every after 2500 km.and it gives me an average of 54kmpl genuinely (city with pillion rider ).riding it is really pleasurable.good for city driving.the spares are affordable.so if u plan to buy , go go go for it rather than bulky body of activa. as the average of activa is only 40-42(tested in various condition).
BEST POINTS ABOUT PLEASURE----1) 100 CC 4 STROKE ENGINE, GOOD AVERAGE, GOOD PICKUP.
2)LOW MAINTENANCE COST(ALMOST NO )
3)REALLY LIGHT WEIGHT BUT POWERFUL
4)GOOD FOR MEN, WOMEN BOTH.
5)HANDLING IS VERY COMFORTABLE.
6)WIDER SEAT FOR BEST COMFORT
7)GOOD STORAGE SPACE(UNDER SEAT)
8)REALLY ECONOMICAL HAVING DECENT LOOKS.
9)HEAD LIGHT IS GOOD FOR NIGHT WITH MULTI REFLECTOR
.
BAD POINTS ABOUT PLEASURE----1)FRONT SUSPENSION IS NOT SO COMFORTABLE IT SHOULD BE TELESCOPIC
2)BRAKES ARE NOT SO GOOD..(PROBLEM WITH EVERY SCOOTER AS THE WHEELS ARE SMALL).
3)THE BLACK PORTION OF IT BECOMES FADE...
TIPS TO MAINTAIN AVERAGE AND ENGINE LIFE---1) CHANGE ENGINE OIL REGULARLY AT 2500-3000KM.AND SERVICE IT.
2)ALSO CHANGE GEAR OIL (THE MECHANIC WILL SAY IT IS GOOD BUT TELL HIM TO CHANGE.IT DOESN’T BECOME BLACK BUT LUBRICATION VALUE DECREASES)
3)DO NOT USE SIDE GUARD AS THE SCREW SPOIL THE PLASTIC HOLES OF THE PLEASURE AND THERE WOULD B NO OPTION RATHER THAN CHANGING THE FIBER PART.OTHERWISE IT WILL MAKE NOISE.
4) MAINTAIN TYRE PRESSURE FOR GOOD PICKUP AND AVERAGE.
