I am planning to buy a gearless scooter. My monthly run will be about 100 kilometers and bike will be used for occasional trips to market and leisurely rides during weekends. The usage will be mostly inside city. After some market research and test drives I have shortlisted two scooters. Activa 125 DLX and Vespa VX. I am slightly inclined towards Vespa because of its looks and cult status. Below are my priorities
1. Performance :- There is a very steep incline just in front of my apartment. The scooter should be able to handle this with two persons on it. It should have good pickup and high low end torque.
2. Fun to drive :- The ride quality and handling are important criterias for selection. Got some feedback that Vespa has some stability issues. In short the scooter should be fun to drive.
3. Hassle free ownership :- I am planning to keep this scooter for long (5 plus years). Long term reliability and maintainability should be good. Being a best seller, I guess Activa has an upper hand here
4. Test rides :- I am a newbie driver and were not able to differentiate much between the two in the test rides
