Dear Experts, I am Planning to buy a scooter for day to day use about 100 km per week, After some research have found these following options, 1. Demak 125cc - Visited their show room, A Malaysian built- sri lankan assembled, Good bulid quality though not as hondas or tvs. Specs are far better than the others listed here. Asking price lkr 162k 2. Honda Dio 110cc - asking price 212k 3. TVS Wego 110cc - asking price 200+k 4. Mahaindra Rodeo 125cc - asking 195k I think a 125 cc engine would give a better pick up. Fuel wise all are pretty much the same. Thinking of going for a Demak 125 cc. mainly because of their specs. The company had been around for a few years my worry is for after sales service. I would like to know the experts' opinions on this? Thank you

Hello, I'm planning tourist visit Sri Lanka in couple of weeks. I was searching for information about scooters in Google, but couldn't find any reliable and current info so I was wondering if you could help me out. 1. Do I have to have driving licence category A to rent a scooter with 125cc or less engine? I don't want a powerful motorbike, just a small automatic scooter What is official and unofficial law (for example it's illegal but noone checks it)? Do renting companies check if I have driving licence? Do police check it? 2. Is it easy to find a scooter renting point? I'll travel accross the country and I'm sure in less popular spots it's less possible, but is renting scooters popular there? I want to rent a scooter in one spot for a one or two days and give it back in the same spot. I don't want to ride from Colombo to Jaffna 3. What is a average price for a scooter for one day? What is the price of gasoline? Oh, I'm aware of your road condition and anarchy on the road
