Suzuki Access 125 [2007-2016] Mileage

I purchased suzuki access in 2016. While getting the scooter i narrowed down my options to honda activa, tvs jupiter & suzuki access. I visited the dealerships & examined all the scooters, i discarded honda activa because of less boot capacity, small fuel tank & lack of telescopic front suspension & the boot couldn't even accommodate a full-size helmet, the reason i went for access was more powerful 125cc motor & a comfortable sitting position according to my height. I just went to the dealership there was no waiting period & i purchased the special edition model in white colour with brown colour dashboard, tan coloured seat & chrome rear view mirrors. I got free accessories from the dealership including a side stand, floor mat, side footrest & full-body protection bars. The scooter cost me 57000 rupees on-road which i think was a great deal. Moving on to the looks of the scooter, although it is a subjective thing but i do think it looks much better than its competitors because of more use of chrome on its body it doesn't look overdone & looks subtle especially th e chrome cover on the exhaust, grab handle for the pillion & those beautiful looking round shaped chrome mirrors. Moving on to the seat it is fairly comfortable & the riding posture is the best in access with comparison to its rivals. Moving on to performance it is faster than all other gearless scooters because of the bigger engine & lighter weight due to fibre body. I have driven my access 30000 kilometres till the date & moving on to the fuel economy in the city i get around 40 kmpl even after rash driving which i think is good. One of the most convenient features is that i can access the boot from the ignition switch only so i don't need to remove the key it in any other place to open the boot, one other positive point is that the fuel tank is larger than other scooters at 6.5 litres whereas others have 5.5 litres. I do feel ride is a bit stiff & the exhaust makes more noise than other gearless scooters. The after-sales service provided by suzuki is good, service of the scooter costs around 700 rupees including the labour cost, the staff is polite & you get your vehicle within 3 hours whereas if you have an activa the guys at honda take almost one complete day because of more people owning activa & apparently there is more crowd in honda service centres. The instrument cluster gets an analogue speedometer, odometer & fuel indicator, the theme of the instrument cluster is really cool in special edition comprising of white, green & brown colour. Moving on to pros 1) more performance due to bigger engine 2) brown dashboard looks beautiful 3) spacious & well-shaped boot 4) large fuel tank 5) boot can be opened from ignition keyhole mentioning the cons 1) mileage is a bit less because of the bigger engine 2) fibre body is more prone to damage than metal body 3) breaks can be improved. In conclusion, i would like to say that i'm completely satisfied by suzuki access & i'll recommend it to everyone especially those who want a bit more faster gearless scooter.
