TVS Jupiter

You are correct to be concerned about Aprilia's aftersales service as it is generally on the more expensive side, and the experience can also be hit / miss. Sticking with offerings from other brands like TVS, Yamaha and Suzuki would be our recommendation for a hassle-free ownership experience. 

Among your shortlisted options, the Jupiter, Ray ZR and Access are typical family scooters which will be comfortable, fuel-efficient and reliable in the long run. Our pick would be the Jupiter because it is the most rounded product, although the Access comes very close and is also noticeably quicker. 

Between the two sporty scooters, the TVS Ntorq makes for a better all-rounder because even though it is sporty, it doesn't sacrifice practicality or comfort. 

Take a test ride of all options you consider before making your purchase. 

Since you are familiar with the TVS bike ownership experience, you could stick with the brand's products and go for the Jupiter 110 / 125, depending on your preference. Both are smooth, practical, fuel-efficient, reliable, feature-rich and lightweight products. Their 33-litre underseat storage area is a particular highlight, something no other rival can match. 

On the other hand, the Honda Activa, while a dated product in some areas, is also a hassle-free scooter. It's a product you really can't go wrong with. 

If you want to look elsewhere, the Suzuki Access 125 is also a fantastic all-rounder with a little more pep in its step than the two 110cc family scooters mentioned here. 

A test ride of all three will help you decide what is the best option for you.

In the family scooter space, consider the TVS Jupiter 110 and 125, Honda Activa 110 and 125, as well as the Suzuki Access, which are our top picks in the category currently. 

Since you haven't mentioned a price cap or displacement range for the motorcycle, we will provide options from both the 125cc and 160cc commuter classes. They will be easy-going, frugal, comfortable, and affordable machines to buy and own. 

In the 125cc class, bikes like the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Xtreme 125R / Super Splendor / Glamour and TVS Raider warrant strong consideration. 

Coming to the 160cc class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda Unicorn / SP160 and Yamaha FZ models are worth taking a look at.

Take a test ride of all before you make a decision. 

Both the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Suzuki Access 125 are good options to consider. The Jupiter is a more modern scooter and offers far more features than anything in its class. Also, it's very practical thanks to its huge 33-litre underseat storage area. The Access has all the strengths of a traditional family scooter, but it has peppy performance that will put a smile on your face during daily errands. 

You can also take a look at the Honda Activa 125 since you are familiar with the Honda ownership experience. The bigger Activa is a smooth, comfortable, practical and fuel-efficient scooter which will also be reliable and easy to live with. 

We suggest you take a test ride of all three scooters to see which one you find more comfortable.

Since your daily usage is quite high and you also frequently travel with a pillion, we'll recommend you look at the Suzuki Burgman Street EX. With its spacious seats, well-balanced suspension setup, peppy yet fuel-efficient 125cc engine and 12-inch wheels at both ends, the Burgman EX will make for a good companion. 

If you want to stick to 110cc scooters, we'd recommend the TVS Jupiter 110 because it comes with 12-inch wheels at both ends and has supple suspension, which will help you since you travel a lot with two people on board. 

It also has a handy winged preload adjuster for the monoshock, which will help you tailor the suspension with added load easily. 

Take a test ride of both these options before you decide.
