I got my Access a year ago from Swargate motors, Pune. I had only 2 options either Activa or Access. The latter won hands down.
THough both the scooters have an uncanny similarity in design, what they differ is in engine capacity, power and suspension.
The Access has 25 cc more capacity than Activa with a higher bhp and torque rating. All this translates into quick acceleration & lugging power on inclines like flyovers.
The engine is smooth, fuel efficient and starts without any hassles though its advisable to use the kick during coldstarts.
The scooters’s equipped with powerful halogen lamps and the electricals are quite robust. But installing the optional indicator beeper should be avoided as it sometimes dislocates the wires of the indicator lights causing it to malfunction.
Another helpful feature is that the dickey opening and the engine ignition are operated from the same slot. So its counter clockwise to open the dickey and clockwise to start the scooter.
The dickey is bigger than the activa which is another boon.
The front suspension is telescopic with anti-dive mechanism, another boon.
The only drawback in an otherwise good package are the brakes. It takes some seconds to bring the scooter to a halt which means some planning is required before application.
On the whole its a reliable urban commuting vehicle offering great value for money at 44000/- onroad pune and .
I recommend a buy.
