Honda Grazia vs Suzuki Avenis 125

It's been a month since the Grazia has been with me. With over 3000kms done, the scooter has been a part of my daily life, shopping for groceries, riding to work or taking the lady on dates. In this report we will see how Honda’s premium scooter fared in everyday use.

I was thrilled to know that I would be given the keys to the Honda Grazia for a few months. After all, a scooter promises higher fuel efficiency and the luxury of a footboard to carry baggage. I liked how the scooter looked in photos and couldn't wait to see it in person.

The Grazia is an Activa 125 which spent some time in the gym and likes to dress up like 50 Cent. 

The Suzuki Avenis 125 did manage to impress us when we sampled it for a road test review a few moons back. So, if you are in the market to buy a sporty 125cc scooter, here are the positives and negatives about the Avenis 125 that should help you make an informed buying decision.

Looking at the Ntorq’s success, Suzuki too has attempted to emulate TVS by bringing its own 125cc sporty scooter, the Avenis 125. So, how much has Suzuki succeeded in doing that?

Gone are the days when scooters had to be simple, convenient, and utilitarian. Nowadays, tech-savvy buyers expect their scooters to offer the best of features, unique styling and zippy performance. So much so, that we have an entire segment dedicated to sporty scooters. Suzuki wants to join the bandwagon with the all-new Avenis 125. Now, in a broader scheme of things, the Avenis is nothing but an Access 125 in sportier clothing. But, is it any good? Does it offer similar or better performance than its rivals? And does it set any new benchmarks in the segment? Well, let’s find out.
