I have bought this vehicle from Bangalore Airport Road Suzuki when Suzuki launched it in 2007.(Delivery in Nov /Dec 2007).
I went for this new model because of my association of quality with Suzuki(Cars). I visited Honda & Bajaj showrooms. even though I have driven Kinetic Honda for long time, I still respect it for many aspects.
But I trusted Suzuki.
Now, After 2 years, I cannot afford to sit back & relax(pun intended) as my lower back is aching if I go for a 15km continuous drive.
I drive approx 40 kms average per day from home to office & return+ some customer visits. The braking is very average and if compared with Active OR Deo, is poor.
Pickup is good, so is the average mileage, 35-40 in city roads.
When my 22000 service was done, some engine sound started coming immediately after wards.
The mechanics did some engine work for 3-4 days. This engine problem happened even though I have religiously done all my 2000 km services with Suzuki service centre only and not with any roadside mechanic.
I also want to compare the boot space with other scooters I have used and find the boot space is much smaller.
The ride quality like suspension is very hard. The suspension hits you even on decent roads.
I plan to buy the new activa or Dio soon to get rid of this pain in the back.
