Proxima - My Aviator is splendid now that the tyre issue has been resolved! Actually, it wasn't a tyre issue, it was the tube that was faulty. It was not retaining pressure even for a day and hence I had stability issues but now that the tube has been replaced everything is great!

Pros:

1. Comfort - I find the vehicle to be very comfortable. My wife, who is about 5ft tall, found it difficult to move from her Kinetic Honda to the Aviator but she has adapted well now.

2. Brakes - I have the disc brake version (~5K extra) and would recommend it. The vehicle is not powerful by any stretch of the imagination but a disc brake is a welcome addition.

3. Honda - 'nuff said!

Cons:

1. Power - The vehicle is slightly underpowered. It's not exactly small or sleek so a bhp or two more would have been great.

2. Headlamp - Can probably be upgraded but stock bulb is poor.

-----

I'll keep the summary short - its a great little scooter for day-to-day puttering around and carries two people in comfort, albeit a little slowly. Has all the wonderful Honda tidbits like refinement, smoothness etc. Is heavy and not too comfortable (both as rider and pillion) for short (~5ft and lower) people.
