Worst experience with activa 125
5 years ago
Haribabu
I have purchased my activa 125 in august 2017. I use to travel around 38 kilometers per day. It is giving 32 mileage and also battery cell got over within 5 months. Even i replaced battery the battery got week within 40 days as there are many front lights are directly connected to battery. It's not worth for money. I'm getting vibration if i ride in 45+ kilometers speed. It costed me 75k on road. Only benefit is suspension is good and will feel comfort while driving.

Worst bike ever, waste of money
6 years ago
Dipa
I bought activa 125 a month ago, it costed me 73k(pune). Buying experience was good, i got the bike within a week. But the worst things comes after that. After one week engine started making weird noises like am driving a tractor instead. The front wheel suspension is of no good, it makes it unstable while riding and when it reaches around 40-50km/h speed, the handle, footrest in fact its whole body starts vibrating and it seems like engine will bust. when i complained about this at service center , they said the engine is quite new, after 2 - 3 servicing it will give give better performance and suggested me to ride at economy speed. Am still waiting for those results to appear but think it will stay the same as other people on this portal has posted same issues even though their bikes has covered >5000km. My bike has covered 1000km and m still riding at economy. Only god knows when i will have the experience of riding it above 55km/h. Summary: do not buy activa 125.

Vehicle vibrates with very poor pickup while accelerate
6 years ago
Venkatesan D M
I bought honda activa 125 from raja honda, koramangala, bangalore in Nov 2017 thinking that i bought the best 125cc scooter. But it is of very substandard quality. Engine makes tickling sound in idle. After 3 weeks, engine raises with vibration while accelerate but very poor pickup not matching with the engine sound. Mentioned these issues in first service but not rectified at all. Going to the service station again. Please do not buy this vehicle.

The all new activa 125cc is worth of buying it
6 years ago
Sudhanshu Gupta
Buying experience-:
My buying experience was the best. I must tell you that their staff were so friendly about my requirement and to be honest i never expected this friendly buying and that good worth of buying. They were also suggested that i could go for loan service with full information. In a simple words" paise wasul of activa125". Thanking you honda.
Marks-: 4.5 in out of 5
Riding experience-:
I enjoyed so much comfortable and thrilling first ride on my new activa125. I was amazed and loved to riding on it. A complete package for everything like shopping,moving,outing, for office etc.
Marks-: 4 in out of 5
Details about looks and performances-:
There were various option for color for me but i went for the blue color with the disc because sometimes we need of immediate break so it fulfilled my purpose. But i feel a scooter with such small tires and flat sitting should have disc brakes just because it is 125 cc. Scooters are the most comfortable at the 45-60 speed range.The automatic gear is great and also the leg space to keep stuff at the front like your small groceries. The hassle of hanging in on the handle is not there. The pick up is generally good but not as good as your geared bike but you cannot challenge that because a bike is always bike and you cannot challenge your scooter to do the same, that would be just unfair. But in its league, the pick up is rather smooth and you do have that confidence level also.
The mileage is now well just after the 1st service, it is rather good at 45-46 levels (i did the full tank theory). The finishing of the metallic and plastics are really good. They could have come up with a small space to keep your cell phone and a charging point which is really useful. The storage space under the seat is suitable for a full face helmet.
Marks-: 4.25 in out of 5
Servicing and maintenance-:
Service is a bit of expensive but it was quite good in service. Quick and reliable service was provided to me. Staffs told me how i could maintain my scooter with so easy and increase the millage and performances. Good services provided to me. Thanking you honda service.
Marks-: 4.5 in out of 5
Pros and cons-:
Pros-:
Multipurpose,easy to maintain,enhanced breaking system,descent metallic design,wide wheals gives more base to body,extra space,top speed 85kmh and millage 53km, bhp 8.5, with bs-iv,much comfortable.
Cons-:
Service a little bit of expensive, no trip meter,no low battery indicator,oil filling outside fuel system.
My opinion-:
Definitely i will recommend to my friends and who will go for buying a scooter.Because i have a great experience and satisfaction about activa 125cc.
Thanks to all of you for reading my reviews.

Pickup is explosive
6 years ago
Ali Mohd
I bought this bike in march 2015. I had been using an aviator at that time. And when i first rode this activa i felt immense power. I use this very rare, it’s been ridden 3.5k kilometres yet. But i had the bs3 engine which was much better than bs4. Guys bs4 literally sucks. So, my activa has the best pickup, it goes from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. But i have given it 4 stars because of less mileage. It runs 100 kilometres in full tank and i use power petrol. And the second con is it’s rear suspension i hate it’s rear suspension i have a jupiter millionr edition too and believe me it has much better rear suspension. And yeah the thing i like the most is it’s pickup. Hats off to it’s pickup

After 2+ years with suzuki access, it was time for replacement. Though i initially considered jupiter, bought access 125 with basic expectations. The delivery experience was not something great to write about. Honda sales people think they are doing us a favour by selling their products.
Comfort is not something that should be expected from this scooter. Suspension is just decent, seat comfort also is just about good. Ride quality and handling is good for short commutes. Daily commute for distance more than 20kms will take a toll on your body.
The thing i hate most about this scooter is the cold start. Be it any season starting the scooter after few hours rest is always an effort. You have to crank it for at-least 10 mins before it cranks up after a lot of retaliation. I actually noticed this issue with a lot of activa's.
The one thing i like about activa 125 is it's styling. I prefer it to any other scooter in the market today. It seems timeless and will age pretty well.
Refinement has always been a positive point in a honda and it is the same even for activa 125. Performance is ok, but we shouldn't expect significant difference between activa 4g and activa 125. Low end and mid range power is good. After speeds about 80kms the power tappers off and though you wack-up the throttle completely, you barely see it being translated to speed, all you feel is the scooter respond with discomfort.
Brakes especially the drum variant are a major disappointment. Please don't get convinced withe sales person's advise of "disc variant is not suited for ladies...." i urge anyone considering activa 125 to go with disc brake variant. Drum brakes are not confident inspiring.
Activa 125 comes with either tvs or mrf tyres. Mine came with tvs tyres which are again not confident inspiring i would suggest to upgrade them.
It is easy to maintain activa 125. I never had to pay more than 600+ rupees for a service. Spare parts are reasonably priced. But again honda service personal feel they are doing you a favour by servicing your scooter.
Overall, activa 125 is a refined, good looking simple scooter best suited for short sprints. Don't expect too much out of it.

Just requires 25 - 35 min to start the engine everyday even if you use regularly
6 years ago
Chandan Kds
Myself and my colleagues have 2 honda activa 125 and one activa 4g. This review is based on my first hand experience.
Let me start what i don't like first,
1.Starting problem:
All gear-less bikes do have little starting problem and that's understandable. However no can beat honda activa 125 in having terrible terrible starting. It just requires 25 to 30 minutes of desperate kick starts,chokes, everyday be it morning or **afternoon.
I use my bike daily, regularly service, and fuel is more than 3/4 th tank always, yet i have to do this everyday while going to office, like literally 30 min , continuously. I'd be in office by the time it starts if i go by bus
2. Frequent engine turns off when coming to halt or decelerating
Imagine, there is traffic little ahead of you, and you are decelerating, and your bike stops.
Seriously, this is the main drawback to this 2 wheeler.
**note : i have given for service multiple times, yet no improvement in the conditions except false promises.
Honda is great, there is no doubt in it, but buy anything other than activa 125. Activa 4g is great, no such problems and very economical at the same time.
What i like once it starts and gets going
1. Great comfort provided by its suspensions and seat position.
2. Looks stylish with all the colour, design etc.,.
I just hope , honda takes responsibility for failing to deliver the basic requirement and rectify the same.

My buying experience was the best. I must tell you that their staff were so friendly about my requirement and to be honest i never expected this friendly buying and that good worth of buying. They were also suggested that i could go for loan service with full information. In a simple words" paise wasul of activa125". Thanking you honda.
Marks-: 4.5 in out of 5
Riding experience-:
I enjoyed so much comfortable and thrilling first ride on my new activa125. I was amazed and loved to riding on it. A complete package for everything like shopping,moving,outing, for office etc.
Marks-: 4 in out of 5
Details about looks and performances-:
There were various option for color for me but i went for the blue color with the disc because sometimes we need of immediate break so it fulfilled my purpose. But i feel a scooter with such small tires and flat sitting should have disc brakes just because it is 125 cc. Scooters are the most comfortable at the 45-60 speed range.The automatic gear is great and also the leg space to keep stuff at the front like your small groceries. The hassle of hanging in on the handle is not there. The pick up is generally good but not as good as your geared bike but you cannot challenge that because a bike is always bike and you cannot challenge your scooter to do the same, that would be just unfair. But in its league, the pick up is rather smooth and you do have that confidence level also.
The mileage is now well just after the 1st service, it is rather good at 45-46 levels (i did the full tank theory). The finishing of the metallic and plastics are really good. They could have come up with a small space to keep your cell phone and a charging point which is really useful. The storage space under the seat is suitable for a full face helmet.
Marks-: 4.25 in out of 5
Servicing and maintenance-:
Service is a bit of expensive but it was quite good in service. Quick and reliable service was provided to me. Staffs told me how i could maintain my scooter with so easy and increase the millage and performances. Good services provided to me. Thanking you honda service.
Marks-: 4.5 in out of 5

Pickup is explosive
6 years ago
Ali Mohd
I bought this bike in march 2015. I had been using an aviator at that time. And when i first rode this activa i felt immense power. I use this very rare, it’s been ridden 3.5k kilometres yet. But i had the bs3 engine which was much better than bs4. Guys bs4 literally sucks. So, my activa has the best pickup, it goes from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. But i have given it 4 stars because of less mileage. It runs 100 kilometres in full tank and i use power petrol. And the second con is it’s rear suspension i hate it’s rear suspension i have a jupiter millionr edition too and believe me it has much better rear suspension. And yeah the thing i like the most is it’s pickup. Hats off to it’s pickup

After 2+ years with suzuki access, it was time for replacement. Though i initially considered jupiter, bought access 125 with basic expectations. The delivery experience was not something great to write about. Honda sales people think they are doing us a favour by selling their products.
Comfort is not something that should be expected from this scooter. Suspension is just decent, seat comfort also is just about good. Ride quality and handling is good for short commutes. Daily commute for distance more than 20kms will take a toll on your body.
The thing i hate most about this scooter is the cold start. Be it any season starting the scooter after few hours rest is always an effort. You have to crank it for at-least 10 mins before it cranks up after a lot of retaliation. I actually noticed this issue with a lot of activa's.
The one thing i like about activa 125 is it's styling. I prefer it to any other scooter in the market today. It seems timeless and will age pretty well.
Refinement has always been a positive point in a honda and it is the same even for activa 125. Performance is ok, but we shouldn't expect significant difference between activa 4g and activa 125. Low end and mid range power is good. After speeds about 80kms the power tappers off and though you wack-up the throttle completely, you barely see it being translated to speed, all you feel is the scooter respond with discomfort.
Brakes especially the drum variant are a major disappointment. Please don't get convinced withe sales person's advise of "disc variant is not suited for ladies...." i urge anyone considering activa 125 to go with disc brake variant. Drum brakes are not confident inspiring.
Activa 125 comes with either tvs or mrf tyres. Mine came with tvs tyres which are again not confident inspiring i would suggest to upgrade them.
It is easy to maintain activa 125. I never had to pay more than 600+ rupees for a service. Spare parts are reasonably priced. But again honda service personal feel they are doing you a favour by servicing your scooter.
Overall, activa 125 is a refined, good looking simple scooter best suited for short sprints. Don't expect too much out of it.

Just requires 25 - 35 min to start the engine everyday even if you use regularly
6 years ago
Chandan Kds
Myself and my colleagues have 2 honda activa 125 and one activa 4g. This review is based on my first hand experience.
Let me start what i don't like first,
1.Starting problem:
All gear-less bikes do have little starting problem and that's understandable. However no can beat honda activa 125 in having terrible terrible starting. It just requires 25 to 30 minutes of desperate kick starts,chokes, everyday be it morning or **afternoon.
I use my bike daily, regularly service, and fuel is more than 3/4 th tank always, yet i have to do this everyday while going to office, like literally 30 min , continuously. I'd be in office by the time it starts if i go by bus
2. Frequent engine turns off when coming to halt or decelerating
Imagine, there is traffic little ahead of you, and you are decelerating, and your bike stops.
Seriously, this is the main drawback to this 2 wheeler.
**note : i have given for service multiple times, yet no improvement in the conditions except false promises.
Honda is great, there is no doubt in it, but buy anything other than activa 125. Activa 4g is great, no such problems and very economical at the same time.
What i like once it starts and gets going
1. Great comfort provided by its suspensions and seat position.
2. Looks stylish with all the colour, design etc.,.
I just hope , honda takes responsibility for failing to deliver the basic requirement and rectify the same.

Worst experience with activa 125
5 years ago
Haribabu
I have purchased my activa 125 in august 2017. I use to travel around 38 kilometers per day. It is giving 32 mileage and also battery cell got over within 5 months. Even i replaced battery the battery got week within 40 days as there are many front lights are directly connected to battery. It's not worth for money. I'm getting vibration if i ride in 45+ kilometers speed. It costed me 75k on road. Only benefit is suspension is good and will feel comfort while driving.

Worst bike ever, waste of money
6 years ago
Dipa
I bought activa 125 a month ago, it costed me 73k(pune). Buying experience was good, i got the bike within a week. But the worst things comes after that. After one week engine started making weird noises like am driving a tractor instead. The front wheel suspension is of no good, it makes it unstable while riding and when it reaches around 40-50km/h speed, the handle, footrest in fact its whole body starts vibrating and it seems like engine will bust. when i complained about this at service center , they said the engine is quite new, after 2 - 3 servicing it will give give better performance and suggested me to ride at economy speed. Am still waiting for those results to appear but think it will stay the same as other people on this portal has posted same issues even though their bikes has covered >5000km. My bike has covered 1000km and m still riding at economy. Only god knows when i will have the experience of riding it above 55km/h. Summary: do not buy activa 125.

Vehicle vibrates with very poor pickup while accelerate
6 years ago
Venkatesan D M
I bought honda activa 125 from raja honda, koramangala, bangalore in Nov 2017 thinking that i bought the best 125cc scooter. But it is of very substandard quality. Engine makes tickling sound in idle. After 3 weeks, engine raises with vibration while accelerate but very poor pickup not matching with the engine sound. Mentioned these issues in first service but not rectified at all. Going to the service station again. Please do not buy this vehicle.
