About the Reviewer

Buying experience was quite good and hassle-free . Bought the drum variant from an authorized Honda showroom .You do not have to bear any waiting period in most of the cases. Just go and you'll get the scooter on the same day.
Coming to the riding experience i can assure you that this is the smoothest 125 cc scooter currently available in the indian market .No other scooter can give you such levels of engine refinement. Completely zero vibrations up to 60 km per hour. You might feel very low vibrations post 60 km per hour but those are also very well maintained. You can easily cruise at 60 to 70 km per hour on open highways ;post 70 km per hour the engine feels stressed. But after all this scooter is not made for highway riding. It is made for daily commuting and it does this quite well without any complaints.
Talking about the looks the scooter looks clean and the build quality of the scooter is also excellent thus providing a premium feel. The scooter is also quite comfortable for both city and highway rides . You get ample space on footboard and the seat is also will cushioned. Underset storage is decent you can easily keep one medium sized full face helmet in it. The suspension is also well maintained and thus does a good job in absorbing bumps and potholes in the cities.
Coming to the performance it has decent performance for daily city use and occasional highway use. Throttle response is very crisp because of the fuel injection. On highways you can easily get above 52 km/l and the city you can easily expect something between 45 to 50 km/l.
Servicing and maintenance cost is also well priced and as it is an activa you can get its parts and components everywhere in India.
Pros- very refined and smooth engine ,excellent build quality, comfortable for commuting.
Cons-not suitable for highway riding, disc variant is quite expensive, the halogen headlamp of the drum variant is weak.
After all if you want a 125 cc scooter which will use for daily commuting and occasional highway ride then activa 125 should definitely be considered

I bought my Honda 125 drum alloy from Todi Honda, which is in Elliot Road - Nonapukur tram depot. As the names suggest it is one of the best scooter from Honda and the segment is superb Activa. Honda Activa 125 looks absolutely classy specially in this price and the performance is awesome, the road grip is as usual incomparable at this price.
Service and Maintaining this scooter is very pocket-friendly.
The only cons which I have noticed is the look could have been more updated.
