Bought Pleasure 1 year ago. Review on Hero Honda Pleasure

Please refer to my earlier review which was done only after 3 days of buying Pleasure. Now, it has been a year since I had bought Pleasure. I hv got 3 service done and hv drove nearly 4500 kms till date. During this 1 year I hv found the following problems in Pleasure.

Problems:

*1. The biggest problem with Pleasure is its mileage. In the starting i.e. after 1st service I was getting a mileage of nearly 50-53 kms a ltr but after riding it for a year I have been facing a lot of problems in mileage. After 3-4 months of my purchase, the mileage of pleasure fell drastically to 40 kms/ltr and now currently it is giving me a mileage of just 36-38 kms/ ltr and this mileage comes to me after finishing the petrol tank and then refilling it with 1 ltr petrol (thrice I hv tested it on Delhi roads). On highways / continuous driving with 40 kms/ hr it is giving an average of 45kms/lt. When I visited the service centre for this problem, they said that pleasure cannot give mileage more than 40 kms/ltr.

1. Its speed is not good. If I increase the speed to 60 kms/hr, it consumes more petrol. Comfort level is OK. *

Earlier, I had recommended flyte of Kinetic but now 1 year has passed since I am riding pleasure but till date I hv not seen any flyte on the roads so I don't know how it is doing.

My earlier review on pleasure is given below:

I had purchased this scooter only 3 days ago after reading reviews on it on various sites including this site. And the last two which came to my mind were Kinetic Flyte & Pleasure.

I**test ride both of them and found that Kinetic Flyte was more comfortable and was better than Pleasure in every sense. But still I bought Pleasure because of the brand name Kinetic on it and secondly Kinetic has only 3 dealers in Delhi and only they r the persons who can give service for the scooter. But when I visited the service centre I found that it was not in good shape. Last but not the least, I could not find any scooter on the roads of Delhi. In short I found that I could not rely on the co. Thus I thought to go with H.Honda Pleasure.

Pleasure is a good scooter. In the last 3 days I hv used it for 130 kms and have found that 3.5 ltrs of petrol is used till now. Its seat is OK but not as comfortable as Flyte seat was (but I could also be wrong as I hv test ride Flyte and had not traveled 15-20 kms in a row).

Balancing etc in the scooter is good. Overall till now it is a good scooter. I will give my review after a few months again thinking it can help you all ....
