Preface - Read this post when I bought a new two-wheeler

So new scooter, Steem is now 8 days old and has covered 393km till now. I encountered a big problem a few days back when the front end started 'juddering' over bad roads. This usually happens in two wheelers when the cup-cone set becomes loose. Had to visit the workshop today and get it sorted. Not a good thing when you scooter is just a week old.

Apart from this, here are the strong points

  1. It looks great for the Indian market and turns heads
  2. Its good peppy performance and is the fastest / quickest scooter in India currently
  3. The brakes are awesome!

Here are the low downs

  1. The suspension is stiff and I mean it. I know handling is good but there are enough bikes in the market that handle well and dont have such a stiff set-up
  2. Lack of features - no under-seat light, no mobile charger, no front storage and a basic instrumentation console for what is an expensive scooter by Indian standards
