About the Reviewer

Ridden for (If Owned)	5000-15000 km
Got mileage of	52 kmpl

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

Tips for Honda Activa 125

Follow the user's manual for maintaining your vehicle . Keep the proper tyre pressure.

We bought a Honda Activa bs6 125 last month. This is an excellent product and it is well known for its comfort and smoothness while riding it is an excellent product. and it is worth for money instead of buying any other bikes I would suggest this bike. And its mileage is also very good and its appearance attracts. A lot many people in our town are buying the same scooters. its spring test is also very good.

amazing experience with my active. bought it in 2021 and so far rode it for 30000+km. even. I travel on it from Noida to Solan Himachal Pradesh almost 350km 3 times. Mileage 30-35 max. After riding it for over 30k km engine is still smooth. Maximum speed I got 95 but now it doesn't accelerate over 85kmph

it looks good overall but its instrument cluster may be better. Service is good and efficient. It gives about 50-52 kmpl mileage in traffic, which is better in competition.it is so much smoother to ride. In this price segment if you want a smooth scooter then you can buy the Activa 125.

Activa 125 is a good reliable scooter. The tyre that comes with the scooty is bad though, it will slip/skid at any moment which will be bad for your confidence. Suspension is hard/medium so back pain could be an issue. But the resell value of this scooty will be very good and the acceleration is very good.

Sturdy Design. The basic variant with drum brakes meets the requirement. Riding comfort is also good. Insurance can be purchased separately to reduce the total cost. Overall a good scooter perfectly designed for Bangalore roads. The seat and petrol unlock feature should be improved in future variants.

Activa 125 is a good reliable scooter. The tyre that comes with the scooty is bad though, it will slip/skid at any moment which will be bad for your confidence. Suspension is hard/medium so back pain could be an issue. But the resell value of this scooty will be very good and the acceleration is very good.

Activa 125 Review

Sturdy Design. The basic variant with drum brakes meets the requirement. Riding comfort is also good. Insurance can be purchased separately to reduce the total cost. Overall a good scooter perfectly designed for Bangalore roads. The seat and petrol unlock feature should be improved in future variants.
