I have been using yamaha avantiz 125 for a few years. Very reliable, no issues at all. It can fit 1 open face helmet, I use Givi cielo 30.1. Max speed is 95 km/h, fuel is some 2.5 litre per 100 km. Maintenance is oil every 2000 km and gearbox oil every 4000, the rest is by usage or by owner’s manual timing.

I think for your usage this scooter is good enough. Can find second hand at good price, I paid 4.5K in 2018.

Honda SH 150i/300i



Step through maxi, 17" wheels front and back.

Too bad it will never see the light of day here. Ironically, available in vietnam....sold for 120k VND. rm22k for the 150cc. Its pricy, but its made to compete with the Primavera in terms of pricing.

I wouldn't mind this if they brought this in, especially with the 300 engine. While the forza has much bigger storage space (the SH has a much smaller trunk because the fuel tank is under the seat), the SH trumps it on handling and ride comfort due to the larger wheels. Have ridden it a few times, feels as close to a normal bike that a scooter can get, minus the CVT and brakes.
