Yamaha Aerox vs Hero Xoom 160

I'm currently riding a 110cc scooter and looking to upgrade to something with more performance. Should I buy the Yamaha Aerox or wait for Hero Xoom 160?

Manav, via email

Autocar India says: The Yamaha Aerox is a very impressive scooter, with strong performance, great dynamics and signature Yamaha build quality. At present, it has no direct rivals in the liquid-cooled 150-160cc scooter space, but it does have a few drawbacks. Ride quality is a shortcoming, and it is fairly expensive. The Xoom 160 looks like a very promising package, and even gets segment-first features like keyless operation. And this being Hero, it should be a rather cost-effective product as well. We'll have to ride it to get a full idea of what it brings to the table, but it definitely seems like a product worth waiting for before making a purchase decision.
