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.
