    I have purchased the top model with disc brake version. Only 3 colour options are there that's a selection limitation. Grey colour is not easily available.
    Pros:-
    1. For riding in city traffic it's a blessing. It has feature of idle stop and start with gentle throttle. It's very handy.
    2.Silent start and unless the side stand is up it won't start are some attractive features.
    3.Trip meter and watch in digital instrument is a plus point.
    4.Acceleration pick up and load carrying capacity is very good.
    5.Mileage is far better than most of the bikes. It gives overall 55-57 km/l in city with gentle throttle. On highway it gives 58-59 km/l in economy driving.
    Cons:-
    1.I am unhappy with it's stiffer suspension setup as bikewale also mentioned. It hurts the butts after 2-3 hour long riding. Therefore long riding without intermediate breaks is very painful.
    2.Due to disc brake and weight on rear wheel side it skids and slips on road with dirt, sand or mud in case of panic or hard braking and due to this i hurt my knee.
    Servicing and maintenance is almost zero cost just oil change and you are ready to go.

    Mohammad Aayan Warsi

    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.

    It is a very good bite for daily travel. It has very good mileage, but because of some people doing stamps on it, its popularity has gone down since I remember I really liked by my family members. Have many of these bikes, love, riding, and love, traveling, but I feel cheated because I would have gotten another better bike at the same price. For example Dio

  • A bit expensive reliability

    5 years ago


    Gibin

    It's a reliable bike as I have driven this bike from all the way Chennai to yelgiri with was a total distance of 630 km include up and down but the area in which it sucks is mileage, it gives only 30 kmpl. And about the comfort it's not that much comfortable but still okay. seats are a bit hard which will be a drawback while long drives. I do admits it's not meant for long drives but for daily commute but still we can rely on its for a long distance ride... I love it because it's my first bike and it was with me for fulfilling my dream of long drives. #MyFirstBike#LoveIt.

  • Nice and trustworthy...

    2 years ago


    Hariharan S

    Bike costs around 87k for basic drum variant and additional 4k for disc model. The bs6 activa 125 is classy and reliable with side stand-engine cutoff mode.
    I bought this bike to ride with ease in road traffic congestion. It basically satisfies all your needs expected from a 125cc scooter. The big bikers will surely turn their head when you cruise over them in traffic areas where it's not one-a-go with frequent gear shifting bikes. It depends upon a rider wish there.
    I regularly get 45km/l in city traffic conditions where u may get 50+ in highways. The minimum fuel of one litre(fuel indicator) should be maintained since its a fuel injection engine.
    Comparing other scooters in the range, honda really manages to provide better design especially to the front looks and automatic dual-led light headlamp setup along with two side light beam mimics the r15 in night time.
    I had two services since i bought bike in 6-7 months cost me around 850rs for only changing engine oil along with dye finish that makes look bike fresh new one.
    Honda service people are well responsive and kind. Maintenance looks free to own the scooter. The service time can be tracked via service booklet provided.
    I bought only drum variant as i didn't feel the need for disc brake. But any elderly people can opt for disc variant due to safety sudden braking.
    Personally i liked the dark grey variant of this model.
    I didn't find any disadvantages with these scooter model.

    Mohammad Aayan Warsi

    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.

    It is a very good bite for daily travel. It has very good mileage, but because of some people doing stamps on it, its popularity has gone down since I remember I really liked by my family members. Have many of these bikes, love, riding, and love, traveling, but I feel cheated because I would have gotten another better bike at the same price. For example Dio

    This is the only scooty in 125 cc category right know and the ride is awesome.Its suspension is pretty good for Indian roads and the engine is powerful too.The look is good but could be better.Among all the activa scooty. Honda is far ahead of its competitors and they are thinking long-term in this version of activa. Cheers..

  • A bit expensive reliability

    5 years ago


    Gibin

    It's a reliable bike as I have driven this bike from all the way Chennai to yelgiri with was a total distance of 630 km include up and down but the area in which it sucks is mileage, it gives only 30 kmpl. And about the comfort it's not that much comfortable but still okay. seats are a bit hard which will be a drawback while long drives. I do admits it's not meant for long drives but for daily commute but still we can rely on its for a long distance ride... I love it because it's my first bike and it was with me for fulfilling my dream of long drives. #MyFirstBike#LoveIt.

  • Nice and trustworthy...

    2 years ago


    Hariharan S

    Bike costs around 87k for basic drum variant and additional 4k for disc model. The bs6 activa 125 is classy and reliable with side stand-engine cutoff mode.
    I bought this bike to ride with ease in road traffic congestion. It basically satisfies all your needs expected from a 125cc scooter. The big bikers will surely turn their head when you cruise over them in traffic areas where it's not one-a-go with frequent gear shifting bikes. It depends upon a rider wish there.
    I regularly get 45km/l in city traffic conditions where u may get 50+ in highways. The minimum fuel of one litre(fuel indicator) should be maintained since its a fuel injection engine.
    Comparing other scooters in the range, honda really manages to provide better design especially to the front looks and automatic dual-led light headlamp setup along with two side light beam mimics the r15 in night time.
    I had two services since i bought bike in 6-7 months cost me around 850rs for only changing engine oil along with dye finish that makes look bike fresh new one.
    Honda service people are well responsive and kind. Maintenance looks free to own the scooter. The service time can be tracked via service booklet provided.
    I bought only drum variant as i didn't feel the need for disc brake. But any elderly people can opt for disc variant due to safety sudden braking.
    Personally i liked the dark grey variant of this model.
    I didn't find any disadvantages with these scooter model.

  • Perfect city commuter

    3 years ago


    Chintankumar Shihora

    I have purchased the top model with disc brake version. Only 3 colour options are there that's a selection limitation. Grey colour is not easily available.
    Pros:-
    1. For riding in city traffic it's a blessing. It has feature of idle stop and start with gentle throttle. It's very handy.
    2.Silent start and unless the side stand is up it won't start are some attractive features.
    3.Trip meter and watch in digital instrument is a plus point.
    4.Acceleration pick up and load carrying capacity is very good.
    5.Mileage is far better than most of the bikes. It gives overall 55-57 km/l in city with gentle throttle. On highway it gives 58-59 km/l in economy driving.
    Cons:-
    1.I am unhappy with it's stiffer suspension setup as bikewale also mentioned. It hurts the butts after 2-3 hour long riding. Therefore long riding without intermediate breaks is very painful.
    2.Due to disc brake and weight on rear wheel side it skids and slips on road with dirt, sand or mud in case of panic or hard braking and due to this i hurt my knee.
    Servicing and maintenance is almost zero cost just oil change and you are ready to go.
