Just test rode the much-talked Aviator.

Looks:
Lookwise I did not like it at all, may be it will take more time for me to accostom to the new look. The scooter looks a bit bigger in size. I am 5'8" and not able to put my legs completely on the ground sitting astride (I was able to do that but not comfortably). The front rim size is bigger (12 inch), but the rear wheel size remains 10 inches. The scooter looks a bit huge, and rear look elevates the tiny tyre size.

Engine:
Same old 102cc engine, same pickup, same smoothness. NOt much to say. The bike really needs a bigger heart. I am really disappointed in this aspect.

Handling and Breaking:
The bigger front wheel, telescopic front suspension, and disc brake definitely helped in good breaking. Handling and maneurability are good, but not as Flyte. I could not test on potholed road to check the suspension capabilty.

The bike is available on the spot for Rs. 49000 OTR (disc brake version) and all colors are available (JSP honda, kukatpally, hyderabad).
