Story why I choose Pleasure
*I wanted a scooter for my wife. I had three choices Pleasure, Scooty pep and Activa. I loved the looks of Scooty pep but couple of my friends who have pep advised against it. So the choice came between Activa and Pleasure. I went to Activa shown room and when my wife tried the bike she felt that the bike was heavy to her so I had no options but to go in for Pleasure.
Specification of the bike
*Displacement: 102.00 cc
Engine type: Single cylinder
Stroke: 4
Power: 7.00 HP (5.1 kW)) @ 7000 RPM
Torque: 7.85 Nm (0.8 kgf-m or 5.8 ft.lbs) @ 5000 RPM
Now coming to the performance
*Till now I have driven around 1500kms. I feel this bike is suitable for city traffic (I leave in Bangalore and every one know how bad Bangalore traffic is) where you can zip zap around. It has a max speed of 65 kms and a decent pick up. The steering is light which I should say suitable for heavy traffic. It has both electric and kick start and it starts immediately in the early mornings without any problem although I feel the kick start is awkwardly positioned.
Suspension
*Both front and back suspensions are little hard. I felt it’s a night mare driving on pot holed roads. I feel hero Honda should look in the
Looks
*Looks wise it looks like younger sibling of Activa but it has a decent looks but Young and peppy.
*Luggage
*It has a decent space beneath the seat and it can easily hold a helmet.
*Mileage
*I have done our first service and it is giving us a mileage of 30 to 35 kmpl. I would say it’s pretty less. Need to see if the mileage improves after the second service.
*Cost
*I paid 39000/-(On road Bangalore). I felt its little bit over priced. I can say its VFM for 35000/-
*Overall
*I felt that it’s a decent bike for city commuting and its ideal for ladies.
