  • Activa 125 - the best scooter you can buy

    5 years ago


    Avik Banerjee

    In the saturated world of scooters, i was completely lost. I had a very hard time deciding which one to buy. After various research and analysis, i decided to go for honda activa 125.I would like to start from the buying experience as that's the start. I bought my scooter from shah honda, kolkata. The executive was very friendly and guided me with the whole buying process properly. She also helped me to get a finance quote. However i changed my mind to buy it in full. 100% satisfied with buying process. Looks & durability: first thing first is the durability. The metal structure gives double plus points when compared to other scooters available in market. The metallic midnight blue colour is good and perfect for those who is not looking for too much style statement. I bought it for regular commute and the look is very official, nothing fancy, just what i was looking for.First ride review: initially i was taken aback with little bit rough suspension ride but once i took the accelerator control properly, i found the smoothest ride i ever had. After that i never had that first rough suspension issue. Maybe i was wrong or maybe first ride was like that only. Now my ride experience is very good and got better with first free service.Mileage: my average mileage is around 46-47 kmpl in normal city road condition. After 1st service the mileage got little better around 49 kmpl. But the above-said average is what i am getting.Servicing: shah honda service centre is good. Despite small space, they are working diligently to make sure the vehicles are properly taken care of. Please note the first service is free but you have to pay for parts & engine oil, when required. Best thing would be to buy a pressure nozzle and do a complete water wash with car shampoo like 3m or motomax periodically. Then apply a small coat of bike wax and polish it nicely. You scooter will be brand new every time. One thing- make sure to ask them to service the brakes, as once asked they did tighten up the brake system a little bit. Usually it is on a looser side when you get it from the showroom. Also make sure to book slot one day before you plan to visit; that will save your time. Saturday & sundays are rush so if you are planning on weekend visit, keep a good amount of time free and visit early around 8-8:30 am.Pros: all mentioned above.Cons: only thing i didn't like that there is no indicator buzzer. It is not available with honda and you have to get an aftermarket product to get that beeping.

  • Good product but service is bad

    4 years ago


    E Ram

    Good product but dealers are taking extra money 1600 rs registration and 800 rs for extended warranty makes around 94k on-road and after buying mandatory accessories it 98k. Buying experience is not great you need wait two weeks for number plate and service is horrible not even cleaning done properly. product is good and start stop works really well. honda showrooms are like some government office only, their honda needs to improve a lot.

  • Honda activa - feels like its part of your own self

    4 years ago


    Shuvodip Paul

    I bought honda activa in 2014 but actually started using it from 2015. The reason being, i have never rode a two-wheeler in my life. Not even a cycle. I still won't be able to ride a cycle. I started learning to ride this activa mostly by myself. I actually bought it for my better half. But she met with a small accident and never drove it. So, i gathered all my courage and started driving it. It actually took me only 3/4 days to learn how to drive. It's that simple. Now it's above 6 years and i still love it. I go to work on this scooter and the ride quality is great. Being an old scooter, mileage is not that great but it's manageable. For me, within or outside city it gives mileage of around 46 kmpl. I even drove on highway and it's good there too. But at 75 kmph with some wind it's a bit shaky. I bought it for rs. 60000 all inclusive in west bengal. After the initial servicing for about a year, i usually go for servicing once or twice a year only and it costs me around rs. 700 per servicing. The best thing about honda activa is it's robust engine. I have even seen people who have driven activa for more than 10 years and 60000 km plus.I will advice anyone to buy honda activa without any doubt for tension free rides. And now with bs6 and advanced features, it's giving mileage of 60 kmpl approx. Which is awesome.

  • Amazing activa all-time

    4 years ago


    Piyush Meshram

    The buying experience was really hassle free as we had previously sorted out which vehicle and brand to buy and took the quotation.When we went to the showroom , we got our desired color and also took delivery in less than 2 hours.Coming to the riding experience,the height of the vehicle is slightly more than usual scooty which previously prevailed in the market.The weight is balanced which makes it a perfect ride for all ages from teenagers to senior citizens.The power is also more compared to other vehicles and you can definitely place it in top 5 scooty if you wanna purchase this.The looks are amazing as it's not a very simple and not a very fancy scooty which attracts many people to buy it at first glance.The performance of the scooty is good in terms of mileage.Servicing at the right time truly increases the life of any vehicle.At the end , all in all its a good ride to buy for an Indian whether you wanna reach office in time,drop your kid to school in 10 min for a 8 km stretch,buying vegetables from a crowded place and all.Thanks.

  • Honda Activa 125 review

    3 years ago


    Chirag

    I bought this activa for daily commute. Engine is really powerful than normal 110 activa. Mileage is very less. You have to struggle for its parts as it is not available in the local market. Service is costly. Top end is not great Starting pickup is great. It is not built for rough and tough usage but to drive carefully.

  • Its getting more noise all body frames greeting noise its getting irritating on riding its seems to getting noise like old scooty

    1 year ago


    Ramesh

    1. Cost compared to other lesser
    2. Riding is good but the front suspension transfer more shock vibration compared to the old activa, In my opinion, the old activa front suspension is good compared to the new.
    3. My activa 125 getting noise on normal rods compared to my old access 125 . I think honda company will take a decision on this noise getting from body frames
    4. Fuel system it's useless in this vehicle because the fuel door getting more noise on riding, In my opinion bottom of the seat is better compared to the new one.

  • Activa is active on your wallet . Style is on costly side

    3 years ago


    Rk

    1) buying experience- bought when it launched in october 2019 , no discount (still in 2021) , full cash paid for purchase(might get when you have emi )
    2)riding experience and performance- i've been using this since oct 2019 ,very stiff ride , unstable ride above 60kph, suspension quality is bad, it has power but it has its limit, only get about 40 to 45 mileage, low petrol tank capacity I mean c'mon 5 litre tank( 1.5 for reserve) , at least they should have given 6 to 7 litre tank
    3)Details about looks- looks are good but small plastic and rubber(mid button is gone) elements are worn out very quickly, very bad paint quality , accessories are very costly, my scooter came with maxxis tires (china tyre).
    4)servicing and maintenance - servicing cost is higher than competitor , spare parts are not available even its been almost 2 years since its launch, minor and deep scratches when scooter is in showroom servicing (mine is rebel red color)
    5) pros and cons
    Pros - good engine , brand name, comfortable seat, good riding posture
    Cons - spare parts availability, bad rear suspension , ok mileage , heavy , vibrations on highway (above 60kph) , high maintenance cost , every small issue with scooter has to brought to the showroom (you can not get it repair outside ) ,misses few key feature
    Front storage space, no usb charging port etc

    4. Fuel system it's useless in this vehicle because the fuel door getting more noise on riding, In my opinion bottom of the seat is better compared to the new one.

    3)Details about looks- looks are good but small plastic and rubber(mid button is gone) elements are worn out very quickly, very bad paint quality , accessories are very costly, my scooter came with maxxis tires (china tyre).
    4)servicing and maintenance - servicing cost is higher than competitor , spare parts are not available even its been almost 2 years since its launch, minor and deep scratches when scooter is in showroom servicing (mine is rebel red color)

  • Activa 125 - the best scooter you can buy

    5 years ago


    Avik Banerjee

    In the saturated world of scooters, i was completely lost. I had a very hard time deciding which one to buy. After various research and analysis, i decided to go for honda activa 125.I would like to start from the buying experience as that's the start. I bought my scooter from shah honda, kolkata. The executive was very friendly and guided me with the whole buying process properly. She also helped me to get a finance quote. However i changed my mind to buy it in full. 100% satisfied with buying process. Looks & durability: first thing first is the durability. The metal structure gives double plus points when compared to other scooters available in market. The metallic midnight blue colour is good and perfect for those who is not looking for too much style statement. I bought it for regular commute and the look is very official, nothing fancy, just what i was looking for.First ride review: initially i was taken aback with little bit rough suspension ride but once i took the accelerator control properly, i found the smoothest ride i ever had. After that i never had that first rough suspension issue. Maybe i was wrong or maybe first ride was like that only. Now my ride experience is very good and got better with first free service.Mileage: my average mileage is around 46-47 kmpl in normal city road condition. After 1st service the mileage got little better around 49 kmpl. But the above-said average is what i am getting.Servicing: shah honda service centre is good. Despite small space, they are working diligently to make sure the vehicles are properly taken care of. Please note the first service is free but you have to pay for parts & engine oil, when required. Best thing would be to buy a pressure nozzle and do a complete water wash with car shampoo like 3m or motomax periodically. Then apply a small coat of bike wax and polish it nicely. You scooter will be brand new every time. One thing- make sure to ask them to service the brakes, as once asked they did tighten up the brake system a little bit. Usually it is on a looser side when you get it from the showroom. Also make sure to book slot one day before you plan to visit; that will save your time. Saturday & sundays are rush so if you are planning on weekend visit, keep a good amount of time free and visit early around 8-8:30 am.Pros: all mentioned above.Cons: only thing i didn't like that there is no indicator buzzer. It is not available with honda and you have to get an aftermarket product to get that beeping.

  • Good product but service is bad

    4 years ago


    E Ram

    Good product but dealers are taking extra money 1600 rs registration and 800 rs for extended warranty makes around 94k on-road and after buying mandatory accessories it 98k. Buying experience is not great you need wait two weeks for number plate and service is horrible not even cleaning done properly. product is good and start stop works really well. honda showrooms are like some government office only, their honda needs to improve a lot.

  • Honda activa - feels like its part of your own self

    4 years ago


    Shuvodip Paul

    I bought honda activa in 2014 but actually started using it from 2015. The reason being, i have never rode a two-wheeler in my life. Not even a cycle. I still won't be able to ride a cycle. I started learning to ride this activa mostly by myself. I actually bought it for my better half. But she met with a small accident and never drove it. So, i gathered all my courage and started driving it. It actually took me only 3/4 days to learn how to drive. It's that simple. Now it's above 6 years and i still love it. I go to work on this scooter and the ride quality is great. Being an old scooter, mileage is not that great but it's manageable. For me, within or outside city it gives mileage of around 46 kmpl. I even drove on highway and it's good there too. But at 75 kmph with some wind it's a bit shaky. I bought it for rs. 60000 all inclusive in west bengal. After the initial servicing for about a year, i usually go for servicing once or twice a year only and it costs me around rs. 700 per servicing. The best thing about honda activa is it's robust engine. I have even seen people who have driven activa for more than 10 years and 60000 km plus.I will advice anyone to buy honda activa without any doubt for tension free rides. And now with bs6 and advanced features, it's giving mileage of 60 kmpl approx. Which is awesome.

  • Amazing activa all-time

    4 years ago


    Piyush Meshram

    The buying experience was really hassle free as we had previously sorted out which vehicle and brand to buy and took the quotation.When we went to the showroom , we got our desired color and also took delivery in less than 2 hours.Coming to the riding experience,the height of the vehicle is slightly more than usual scooty which previously prevailed in the market.The weight is balanced which makes it a perfect ride for all ages from teenagers to senior citizens.The power is also more compared to other vehicles and you can definitely place it in top 5 scooty if you wanna purchase this.The looks are amazing as it's not a very simple and not a very fancy scooty which attracts many people to buy it at first glance.The performance of the scooty is good in terms of mileage.Servicing at the right time truly increases the life of any vehicle.At the end , all in all its a good ride to buy for an Indian whether you wanna reach office in time,drop your kid to school in 10 min for a 8 km stretch,buying vegetables from a crowded place and all.Thanks.

  • Honda Activa 125 review

    3 years ago


    Chirag

    I bought this activa for daily commute. Engine is really powerful than normal 110 activa. Mileage is very less. You have to struggle for its parts as it is not available in the local market. Service is costly. Top end is not great Starting pickup is great. It is not built for rough and tough usage but to drive carefully.

    Regular servicing as prescribed by the company time to time and your vehicle will surprise you by after all the years of service and still not failing you in the mid of road.

  • Honda Activa 125 review

    3 years ago


    Chirag

    I bought this activa for daily commute. Engine is really powerful than normal 110 activa. Mileage is very less. You have to struggle for its parts as it is not available in the local market. Service is costly. Top end is not great Starting pickup is great. It is not built for rough and tough usage but to drive carefully.

    1. Cost compared to other lesser
    2. Riding is good but the front suspension transfer more shock vibration compared to the old activa, In my opinion, the old activa front suspension is good compared to the new.
    3. My activa 125 getting noise on normal rods compared to my old access 125 . I think honda company will take a decision on this noise getting from body frames
    4. Fuel system it's useless in this vehicle because the fuel door getting more noise on riding, In my opinion bottom of the seat is better compared to the new one.

    1) buying experience- bought when it launched in october 2019 , no discount (still in 2021) , full cash paid for purchase(might get when you have emi )
    2)riding experience and performance- i've been using this since oct 2019 ,very stiff ride , unstable ride above 60kph, suspension quality is bad, it has power but it has its limit, only get about 40 to 45 mileage, low petrol tank capacity I mean c'mon 5 litre tank( 1.5 for reserve) , at least they should have given 6 to 7 litre tank
    3)Details about looks- looks are good but small plastic and rubber(mid button is gone) elements are worn out very quickly, very bad paint quality , accessories are very costly, my scooter came with maxxis tires (china tyre).
    4)servicing and maintenance - servicing cost is higher than competitor , spare parts are not available even its been almost 2 years since its launch, minor and deep scratches when scooter is in showroom servicing (mine is rebel red color)
    5) pros and cons
    Pros - good engine , brand name, comfortable seat, good riding posture
    Cons - spare parts availability, bad rear suspension , ok mileage , heavy , vibrations on highway (above 60kph) , high maintenance cost , every small issue with scooter has to brought to the showroom (you can not get it repair outside ) ,misses few key feature
    Front storage space, no usb charging port etc
