Tvs Star City Plus
The Tvs Star City Plus has a top speed of 85–90 km/h, produces 7.8 hp and weighs 114 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
The TVS Star City was first introduced in 2004 as an entry-level commuter motorcycle for the Indian market, targeting budget-conscious riders seeking reliability and fuel efficiency. The 'Plus' variant was launched around 2015 with upgrades including a more refined engine, improved styling, tubeless tyres, and better ergonomics to stay competitive in the highly contested 110cc commuter segment. It remains one of TVS Motor Company's key volume sellers in rural and semi-urban India, known for its low running costs and durability.

What Buyers Should Know
Strong Long-Term Reliability
The TVS Star City Plus is known for its robust 110cc engine that can comfortably cross 60,000–80,000 km with regular oil changes every 3,000 km. It's a popular choice for daily commuters due to minimal unexpected breakdowns.
Watch the Carburetor
A common issue reported by owners is carburetor clogging, especially if the bike sits idle for extended periods, leading to rough idling or hard starting. Regular cleaning every 10,000 km can prevent this problem easily.
Decent Resale Value
The Star City Plus holds reasonably good resale value in the Indian used-bike market due to its trusted TVS brand reputation and widespread service network. A well-maintained 3-year-old model typically retains around 60–65% of its original price.

"Bulletproof commuter that earns its keep daily."
I put nearly 40,000 km on a 2006 Star City Plus doing daily office runs and the occasional intercity haul, and this thing simply refused to die. The 99.7cc motor pulls cleanly from low revs and sits comfortably at 65–70 km/h all day, though asking it for 85+ on a highway stretch has it buzzing your palms into numbness within twenty minutes. Fuel economy is genuinely stellar — I averaged 55–60 km/l in mixed city traffic, which matters when you're filling up twice a week. The drum brakes are adequate if uninspiring; they fade noticeably on long downhill stretches, and first-time riders sometimes panic at how much lever travel is needed before anything dramatic happens.
Pros
Cons
Refreshed styling, improved engine efficiency, updated graphics, enhanced fuel economy, minor ergonomic improvements introduced.
BS6 compliant engine, fuel injection added, digital-analogue console, updated body panels, improved braking system.
Used Buyer Review
"A dependable city workhorse that earns every rupee of its asking price."
$500-$900 usedThe Star City Plus is TVS doing exactly what TVS does best — building a sensible, no-nonsense commuter that just refuses to die. The 110cc single is properly refined for its class, pulls cleanly from low revs, and returns fuel economy that'll genuinely surprise you. Previous owners rarely thrash these, so finding a clean used example isn't hard. Check the chain tension and sprocket wear first — neglected maintenance is the usual culprit on higher-mileage bikes. Riding position is upright and comfortable for city work, though anything beyond 80km/h gets buzzy and tiring fast. The drum rear brake is adequate but inspires zero confidence in the wet. Suspension is soft, which suits broken urban roads but makes it feel wallowy with a pillion. Electricals are typically TVS — mostly bulletproof, but inspect the wiring around the headlight housing on older bikes. For pure city commuting on a tight budget, there's genuine value here. Don't overthink it.
