Bought Honda Dio a few months ago. Ive driven scooty. scooty pep. activa. and access before and I personally feel Dio was the best of the lot. Its not that heavy. but its highly stable. easy to maneuver in traffic. looks huge. but you dont feel the weight because of the fiber body. Decent pick up. and I dont have difficulties even after 60+. feels nice and smooth.
On the other side. im not sure if its just my bike or all dios. ive got starting problems with my bike. it wont start until I use the choke n throttle for about 5mins. after which it gets pretty stable. but until it does the engine just turns off midway. But this is only for the 1st time I start the bike for the day.
The bike. I would go to the extent of saying has NIL shock absorbers. you can feel even the smallest of pit holes you drive into and the large ones give you a major shake.
The headlight is the biggest blunder. I can hardly see the light on the road. I dont know what the manufacturers were thinking when they came up with that idea.
There is one usual complaint people riding with me give. there is no leg room for the person sitting behind you. There are no provisions for resting your leg. They have to reach in front to rest their legs but that sort of takes up my leg room and is disturbing.
One more thing is that the manufacturers dont provide a front basket. A locker is available but it isnt as comfortable as a basket in a lot of aspects.
These are few of the small things I face difficulty with. If you are okay with all this then go ahead with dio. cos overall I would definitely recommend dio.
