Used Buyer Review

The 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.
