Reviews of Honda Activa 125 [2016-2017]

Its was a great buying experience it was easier to buy ..Its bean a year but i still love riding my activa 125 ...Look is beautiful except that silver coated below the headlights that i don't like ...I love digital speedometer ...And if i talk about performance it has a very very grateful performance .. Pickup is awesome ..It doesn't give services again and again and its maintenance is cheaper ...

I bought my honda activa 125 bs4 about 2 months before from ambikapur, chhatisgarh at the price of rs -78000/ without charging kit(you have to pay rs 400/ extra for that).

And here is my review:-

1-looks- look wise it is good enough, especially the front part. Grab rail on back is little longer than previous activas. In front you get two led lights which looks very catchy. You get a black panel on top of the headlamp just like maestros which is very trendy.

2-features- you will get some cool features like: digital+analog console, front telescopic fork,led lights,front disk break, combi brakes, usb charging kit, front 12 inch wheel with tubeless tyres on both wheels.

3-performance-the pickup is very good, engine is very responsive.It goes 0-60 kmph in just 14 sec(with a passenger of weight 60kgs).

4- top speed- 80kmph with passenger of minimum of 60kgs without passenger it reach upto 85kmph on full throttle.

5- mileage- it gives around 45 kmpl ( with moderate traffic that means not the heavy traffic).

Now lets talk about the advantages & disadvantages( you can say pros & cons)-

Advantages:- a) engine and the pick up is very good.

b)brakes of activa 125 with front disk and combi brakes is just awesome.

c)front suspension is also good in it because it has telescopic. Good enough for city's path holes.

d) most of the body parts are of metal so it can be more strong.

e)in digital console you get trip meter, fuel gauge, low fuel indicator,odometer.

f) honda vehicle has higher resale value than others especially the activa.

Disadvantages:-

a) mileage is not the great , it gives you around 45 kmpl.

b)rear suspension is stiff so it is not so good.

c)activa 125 bs 4 has a higher price.

d)if you ask for comfortability then i don't think that it is very comfortable. If you ride more than 15-20 km continuous then it gives you bump pains.

e)headlamp is not the brighter.

f) little unstable on sandy roads.

This is all....

Hello dear friend s......

I am saying about honda activa125cc, activa is more than reliable for daily ride with 100 kg above lagged but not any issues in engine,body & performance.

Body parts are long performance with metal body,very powerful pickup & run smoothly on straight road,but mileage is not bad 45-50 mileage on my activa, activa have many space on under seat,i well put on many variant using .Battry performance are very very good ,service in every 2500 kilometres for best performance, pickup

I am happy with honda activa for last 7 year ,this is my true experience.

I brought a new honda activa 125 on 10th Aug 2015 by paying 70, 000 and i started getting problems from the next week. While riding this vehicle vibrations and jerking problems are higher.

My bike started to jumps like an horse at a speed of 30-50 and due to which i get a severe shoulder pain. To add on i even have jerking problems. I don't get control over my bike in highways due to heavy air. I don't get a safe and smooth ride due to these problem and i am totally fed up. I have raised complaints regarding this to honda, and honda team convinced me for the last time assuring that they will personally check my vehicle. During my last visit dealer informed me that honda's technical team has tested my vehicle and all is fine now. But again in 2 days all the problems were back.

So at this point i have few questions.

honda activa 125 is an failure model

I bought this bike from my wings. No problem in buying. I use daily there are nice experience with riding

Colour of bike is white it looks like fresh always i service four times on the basis of free service they called me after 3 month for servicing every time experience with the showroom is nice

The bike & showroom is best

We chose this bike and later on we knew that it has deficiency. Its fiber parts lack quality if compared to price. Fuel tank location is faulty. One has to show the box to all while filling. The box itself is very small. A smart box could have been attached to the front curve. One stylish hook would be better somewhere on the handle. Last but not the least, its kick start system is very bad and not suitable for ladies at all.

All and all.. I'm impressed by its performance,its a great bike according to speed, shape, engine power, and other great features, but the company guys must produce a kind of body parts (as my bike have some scratches and bumps on its body,definitely by my driving mistakes) to replace some parts, which can be easily available to the market.Thank you honda motors... I appreciate you and your industrial members to manufacture such a great product...

Activa 125cc is honda's experimental entry into the 125cc variant. Looks like the engineering team behind this scooter never bothered to test the bike on Indian roads.

I have been using this bike for almost a year now and i have had terrible experiences with this scooter.

Cons:

1. Terrible mileage: honda promises 65km/l but we only get around 35km/l.

2. Servicing: one word horrible!!

3. Safety: the scooter is unstable and unpredictable when there is a pillion rider on board. The new cylindrical shock absorbers provided for the front wheel are not sturdy and gives you a bouncing feel while riding the scooter. The weight distribution is another concern when there is a pillion rider. The front wheel of the bike starts galloping like a horse which makes it difficult to control the same.

4. Breaking system: the vehicle starts to wobble when we apply breaks.

Pros

1. Built quality.

I am writing this review based on my personal experience and the interactions i have had with other owners of this bike.

I would not advise you to buy this bike!!

I have purchased this bike 4 months ago, at a on road price of 70k. Before this bike i own a activa . As compared to it activa 125 gives me a great pleasure of ride. It has an absolute pickup of covering 70 speed in less than 30 seconds. It gives 52kmpl with a great levels of comfort. It has day lights also. Finally amazing bike with in the budget.

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
