User Review of Activa [2000-2015] by Gopinath

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.

About the Reviewer

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 60kph
Pathetic suspension after the first 3 years of use.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

*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*

Cons - 8000 more expensive than 5g which is much less than the company giving with this product.
Best to buy this vehicle ….Go for it.

About the Reviewer

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.
