Happy with the purchase. Review on Hero Honda Pleasure

I had bought a Hero Honda Pleasure around 3 years back, as a b'day gift for my wife. Though this is not the best scooter in the market(my opinion), reasons I selected this scooter over the others is because it met my below criteria at that time:

1. I wanted at least 100cc

   
   




2. My wife is around 5ft2in and hence the seat height of the scooter should not be too high.

   
   




3. Proven in the market

   
   




4. Not too heavy

   
   




5. Good looks

   
   




6. Not too costly

   
   




7. No waiting period

   
   




8. Good service network

   
   

Bought a purple/silver combination one. My wife is pretty happy about the scooter and has no complaints as such.

Below are a few negative points about the scooter:

1. Shock absorbers are too hard. If the road is not good, then riding this scooter is real pain

   
   




2. If you don't use the scooter for a few days and getting it started is a big task. Battery start will almost not work. Only after some 10/15 kicks it starts

   
   




3. The engine is not smooth/refined as other costlier scooters

   
   

I bought it from Ideal motors Bangalore. I have had good experience with this dealer(manager is Mr Hegde). I remember he had given a few freebies and also delivered the scooter on time(I had asked for a rare colour combination).

Overall I am happy with the purchase.
