I bought an activa way back in September 2012. I am generally a person who waits for other people to review a new product before buying it. But at that time, there were not many options around. So I took the risk and bought this. Do I regret the decision? not at all.The first thing that struck me was the refinement of this package. The accelerator is easy on your hand and the vehicle responds instantaneously to your inputs. Also the pick-up is pretty decent.The next thing I noticed is the lack of vibrations. You feel you are doing a forty when the speedo shows sixty. And on empty roads you can easily pull it to 75+ speeds without almost no vibrations. You can also do lean angles on this vehicle without it losing grip with the ground. More so, you feel some level of confidence doing this. The vehicle stays in line on hard braking. Also the handle does not become light at high speeds. Must have some thing to do with the 60-40 weight distribution.In the early days, it was pretty much noiseless also. You had to strain to hear the engine running. But after the last free servicing at the end of the first year, the service guys tuned it to deliver a little more power. Now the engine is audible though not intrusively.So is everything perfect in this package? well, I don't think so. Honda and other websites says that these are the best brakes in this class. However, I still feel that they are not as effective as they should be. There are vibrations at the lower speed range, though these vanish when the speed goes above 20.The switchgears are not very well located. You really have to reach to switch the high-low beam buttons. Also for ladies the seat is just a bit high and weight a bit heavy. Also i would have liked a city light option on this package. You can just switch on the tail light but not the head light. It would be very good for evening rides.Lets summarize all that I said (and some more points also):Pros -(1) refinement(2) stability (straight line and at angles)(3) absence of vibrations (at 20+ speeds)(4) pickup(5) head light is really goodCons -(1) braking(2) vibrations at low speeds(3) position of switch-gears(4) height and weight (for ladies)(5) no city lightOther observations(1) mileage 45km/l even with a heavy hand on accelerator.Overall, i would rate this scooter with 4 stars.
Superb scooter

I have ridden it for 13 years from 2007 to 2020 and did 1,05,000 kms with regular services with no major repairs. the mileage was around 48 till 2017 and 40 kmpl after that. I used it for a daily commute of about 40 kms. Was a pleasant experience to own it. But the service center experience was as usual poor sometimes.I bought 6g in 2020 and currently using it.

Everything except the suspension was good. The engine is butter smooth, has great brakes, and has little maintenance.You feel safe driving around in an Activa. The scooter doesn't feel as nervous at higher speeds anymore and changing lanes is a lot easier, but there’s still a slight flighty feeling above 60kphPathetic suspension after the first 3 years of use.

Above all things are good. I usually used this bike since 2015 but the bike is awesome. I'm riding this bike only. From that day to still had no major problem not getting it. Maintenance cost is less the oil change process is completed in just 300 to 400 rupees oli Change in 1500 km to 2000 km within range of the vehicle is awesome.

I purchased a Honda Activa in 2011 and used daily without any problem. As of today, meter reading is 80500 km . I am very happy to drive Honda Activa and proud. I want to ride my active over and above 1.00 lakh km.I recommended to my friends to buy only Activa. It is very smooth driving and easy to drive and less maintenance expenses compared to other vehicles.

Four years before when I plan to buy a scooty. I ask so many people and I got mixed responses. After a deep review, I finalize activa 125 3g. It riding was a mazing experience. Its pickup, speed and comfort are unbeatable. Now really I can say I love activa. This one is truly 100% maintenance-free scooty. I recommend to all my well wishers to get it and enjoy the amazing driving experience.

Only one scooter with get old and stay better

It's good to have a new scooter from Honda. I'm using it for my office. Sometimes it happens to misunderstand mileage. But it's okay as servicing gets on time. One time engine oil gets 500km and runs smoothly.Suspension is too good for the long drive. Never feel to have a other vehicle than my honda activa.

*buying experience and riding experience-* the buying experience was good. Riding and handling are better. The looks are amazing & also the performance is fabulous. Service and maintenance are good. Its pros are power, stability, road capabilities etc. And its cons are suspension & fuel tank are decent. It should be improved. The company should provide disc. Bracks and adjustable suspension.*details about looks, performance etc.*His scooter now looks a little sharper from the front thanks to the sleeker-looking headlight and redesigned chrome accents on the apron. All thanks to better suspension and a larger front wheel, the activa 6g now feels more planted at high speeds. While the scooter used to wobble a bit earlier after crossing speeds of 70-75 kmph, we didn’t feel the same on the new 6g model. Over potholes and broken surfaces, the scooter now offers better comfort and the impact transferred to the rider over uneasy roads is now lesser. In city traffic, the activa 6g continues to feel manageable and is easy to maneuver and we hardly noticed any change in the handling characteristics as well.*servicing and maintenance*Honda activa is best scooty .L chooses the honda. Maintenance cost is low. Mileage is well.*pros and cons*3-year standard warrantyTelescopic suspensionLow service cost -550 ml engine oil change during service earlier it was 900 ml10% mileage increaseSilent start - no noise of startingAuto start-stop - above 3 seconds stop at lights or anywhere the engine will stopFull metal body - more reliableFuel tank filling from outside - no need to get down for refillingSeparate mobile cabin storage spaceMore km service duration earlier - ( 1–4–8–12 month or km in 1000) now (1–6–12 month or km in 1000 )Ecu-controlled - more accurate and precise engine than earlier carburetor controlledF.I system - more smooth rideCons - 8000 more expensive than 5g which is much less than the company giving with this product.Best to buy this vehicle ….Go for it.

Best bike ever ride
1 year ago
Sari
Hi, I have been riding the 1st gen honda activa for about 8 years now. The scooter has clocked about 83,000kms and still running well.No engine work yet. I am amazed, all I have done is the regular service and ensure you do not rev the engine unnecessarily.Authorized honda service will advise you to get the engine work at about 50k-60k kms , however, I can assure you that if the scooter has been used well, it has a lot more life in it before it can go for an overhaul.Even with 83000kms on the odo, the scooter pulls 2 full-sized adults gracefully on steep roads too. I use the vehicle for my everyday commute roughly about 35kms/day.Average fuel consumption is about 34-37kms/liter.Good engine oil, gearbox oil, and regular checks on the carb, filters, spark plug, and drive belts will ensure this scooter is really built to last.Keep in mind, that this is not a race scooter, so kindly ride easy and you can go a long way.If anyone out there is looking to add a new scooter, I think honda activa is a great choice.

Honda activa - the king of scooters
1 year ago
Bhavani Brahma
Activa old looks good and ride quality is great. It is a good vehicle it can fulfill the requirements of the family easily. The weight of the vehicle is moderate and could be driven by all. Good scooter. Needs low maintenance even after 5 years. Honda always has a good resale value. You can sell it again at a good price. You can buy this scooter without any second thought.Best features: the body of the vehicle is highly durablePros: 1. Super build a quality lot of metal-less plastics 2. Doesn't feel old every feature is similar to a new model, 3. Long lifespanCons: the cons are noneServicing is very good and completed on time, the staff is also very humble, and their hospitality is very satisfying.

Riding experience is very good, pick up is 9 mark out of 10 but at the time of starting try many time self and vibrate when giving exalter. These are two minor problems. No major complaint is seen. The average compared to other scooters is good, and maintenance cost is very lower. Spare parts are easily available.

Riding experience is very good, pick up is 9 mark out of 10 but at the time of starting try many time self and vibrate when giving exalter. These are two minor problems. No major complaint is seen. The average compared to other scooters is good, and maintenance cost is very lower. Spare parts are easily available.

Superb scooter

Zakir
I have ridden it for 13 years from 2007 to 2020 and did 1,05,000 kms with regular services with no major repairs. the mileage was around 48 till 2017 and 40 kmpl after that. I used it for a daily commute of about 40 kms. Was a pleasant experience to own it. But the service center experience was as usual poor sometimes.I bought 6g in 2020 and currently using it.

All great but..

Everything except the suspension was good. The engine is butter smooth, has great brakes, and has little maintenance.You feel safe driving around in an Activa. The scooter doesn't feel as nervous at higher speeds anymore and changing lanes is a lot easier, but there’s still a slight flighty feeling above 60kphPathetic suspension after the first 3 years of use.

Above all things are good. I usually used this bike since 2015 but the bike is awesome. I'm riding this bike only. From that day to still had no major problem not getting it. Maintenance cost is less the oil change process is completed in just 300 to 400 rupees oli Change in 1500 km to 2000 km within range of the vehicle is awesome.

Very good vehicle

I purchased a Honda Activa in 2011 and used daily without any problem. As of today, meter reading is 80500 km . I am very happy to drive Honda Activa and proud. I want to ride my active over and above 1.00 lakh km.I recommended to my friends to buy only Activa. It is very smooth driving and easy to drive and less maintenance expenses compared to other vehicles.

I love activa
1 year ago
Dharmesh Singh
Four years before when I plan to buy a scooty. I ask so many people and I got mixed responses. After a deep review, I finalize activa 125 3g. It riding was a mazing experience. Its pickup, speed and comfort are unbeatable. Now really I can say I love activa. This one is truly 100% maintenance-free scooty. I recommend to all my well wishers to get it and enjoy the amazing driving experience.

Only one scooter with get old and stay better
1 year ago
Vivek Kumar
It's good to have a new scooter from Honda. I'm using it for my office. Sometimes it happens to misunderstand mileage. But it's okay as servicing gets on time. One time engine oil gets 500km and runs smoothly.Suspension is too good for the long drive. Never feel to have a other vehicle than my honda activa.

Big fan of activa

Priya Sasankar
*buying experience and riding experience-* the buying experience was good. Riding and handling are better. The looks are amazing & also the performance is fabulous. Service and maintenance are good. Its pros are power, stability, road capabilities etc. And its cons are suspension & fuel tank are decent. It should be improved. The company should provide disc. Bracks and adjustable suspension.*details about looks, performance etc.*His scooter now looks a little sharper from the front thanks to the sleeker-looking headlight and redesigned chrome accents on the apron. All thanks to better suspension and a larger front wheel, the activa 6g now feels more planted at high speeds. While the scooter used to wobble a bit earlier after crossing speeds of 70-75 kmph, we didn’t feel the same on the new 6g model. Over potholes and broken surfaces, the scooter now offers better comfort and the impact transferred to the rider over uneasy roads is now lesser. In city traffic, the activa 6g continues to feel manageable and is easy to maneuver and we hardly noticed any change in the handling characteristics as well.*servicing and maintenance*Honda activa is best scooty .L chooses the honda. Maintenance cost is low. Mileage is well.*pros and cons*3-year standard warrantyTelescopic suspensionLow service cost -550 ml engine oil change during service earlier it was 900 ml10% mileage increaseSilent start - no noise of startingAuto start-stop - above 3 seconds stop at lights or anywhere the engine will stopFull metal body - more reliableFuel tank filling from outside - no need to get down for refillingSeparate mobile cabin storage spaceMore km service duration earlier - ( 1–4–8–12 month or km in 1000) now (1–6–12 month or km in 1000 )Ecu-controlled - more accurate and precise engine than earlier carburetor controlledF.I system - more smooth rideCons - 8000 more expensive than 5g which is much less than the company giving with this product.Best to buy this vehicle ….Go for it.

Best bike ever ride
1 year ago
Sari
Hi, I have been riding the 1st gen honda activa for about 8 years now. The scooter has clocked about 83,000kms and still running well.No engine work yet. I am amazed, all I have done is the regular service and ensure you do not rev the engine unnecessarily.Authorized honda service will advise you to get the engine work at about 50k-60k kms , however, I can assure you that if the scooter has been used well, it has a lot more life in it before it can go for an overhaul.Even with 83000kms on the odo, the scooter pulls 2 full-sized adults gracefully on steep roads too. I use the vehicle for my everyday commute roughly about 35kms/day.Average fuel consumption is about 34-37kms/liter.Good engine oil, gearbox oil, and regular checks on the carb, filters, spark plug, and drive belts will ensure this scooter is really built to last.Keep in mind, that this is not a race scooter, so kindly ride easy and you can go a long way.If anyone out there is looking to add a new scooter, I think honda activa is a great choice.

Honda activa - the king of scooters
1 year ago
Bhavani Brahma
Activa old looks good and ride quality is great. It is a good vehicle it can fulfill the requirements of the family easily. The weight of the vehicle is moderate and could be driven by all. Good scooter. Needs low maintenance even after 5 years. Honda always has a good resale value. You can sell it again at a good price. You can buy this scooter without any second thought.Best features: the body of the vehicle is highly durablePros: 1. Super build a quality lot of metal-less plastics 2. Doesn't feel old every feature is similar to a new model, 3. Long lifespanCons: the cons are noneServicing is very good and completed on time, the staff is also very humble, and their hospitality is very satisfying.
