  Parts not available locally. Ride is uncomfortable. Speed is awesome and looks are cool. Body is fiber, not very strong. Sometimes it feels wavy while driving the scooter. Average mileage is okay.

  The Honda Dio is an excellent scooter with smooth performance and good mileage. Everything about it is well balanced. The earlier Dio model was also very good, but the current version has improved a lot and feels quite different in a positive way.
