Was in a dilemma what to purchase: Hero pleasure, hero maestro and Honda activa, which one to purchase. Reputation wise pleasure and activa are head on to each other. Mastro was a newcomer. But finally Activa 125 was selected as it really stands for its reputation and precedes hero pleasure in many ways. Its 125cc means it can zip from 0 to 60 in less than 4 second. It is taller than pleasure and more comfortable. Comes with a pretty good mileage and have a huge below sheet basket to keep helmet and any other things of that volume. Sitting position is very comfortable as handle bar is high. You do not feel thrown out of the corners while on high speed. Front cylindrical suspension is great on rough road as well as the softer back suspension. But if two passengers are moving then softer back suspension is really a worry compared to others in the segment. It dampens so much if 2nd passenger is of 80kg so that there will be no more suspension to absorb any more bump. Any way it is a great scooter and maintenance wise no issues at all. Combi brake system is added value to it as you all knows stopping from high speed to zero is a beat of tricky thing for them who are not a front brake lover. On highway it veers so smooth with no hand rattling engine vibration or noise. Top speed is between 85 to 92. Petrol tank should have more capacity. Tubeless tire are very reliable. Digital plus analog dashboard is fine. Plastic body feels like little sluggish. But its a horse for long run.
