Honda Activa The Gearless Wonder By Vishnu on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I bought an activa on Feb 2007 and its not even an year and I've covered around 17000 Kms in that. The scooter offers a good ride quality, Ample space for foot rest, and a decent ride for pillion as well.
The 7bhp engine is silent and quick, and offers a displacement of 102 CC, The maximum speed attainable is around 80KMPH. The brakes are 30 MM drum(have adequate braking power) and the suspension doesn't live well to the expectation. The quality of material used to build this beauty is firm and the plastics used throws an impression. There is only a single version. and the main drawback is that even the side stand is "Optional" that means you have to pay to get one. The price tag is also a little bit high for a scooter like this one. Another area of concern is the mileage. My activa offers a maximum mileage of 45 Km/liter when I am riding in trhe green band (30-50 KMPH). Overall I like this scooter than any other I have ever rode.

I was just going to ask this myself Shark, when I looked up and saw you asking:) It looks like a sharp little scooter Vishnu, and it gets pretty good mileage. Thank you for including a rupee to dollar conversion here
same question here.. the look is great as well the mileage..
This looks like a nice scooter, and with good gas mileage- something very important these days. Thanks for sharing your experiences with this product!
Goodness gracious-you have to pay for the side stand?! It's too bad the mileage isn't better.
Cute scooter. How can a side stand be optional? That is wacky!
Honda are reowned for buliding good motorbikes, glad that you bought it. Thanks for sharing.
I would like to get one to save on gas just to ride around locally.
You may have paid a little more on this product, but it is a HONDA, if you take care of it - it will last a very long time!!
