I bought this bike 10 days back. I went for the Blue Color without the disc because somehow I feel a scooter with such small tyres and flat sitting should have disc brakes just because it is 125 CC. The whole purpose of a scooter is not long rides and very fast riding at 100 or more like how most bikes are rode daily. Scooters are the most comfortable at the 45-50 speed range. They are not to be used for long rides and your sport style riding. They are to be used subtle and with automatic gears it is pretty decent to ride one.
I started riding a bike when I was 18. I have always rode a bike with gears. Now being 35 and usage of a 2 wheeler to be different, I opted for a automatic scooter. But my love for the geared bike will always remain. Right now priorities are different.
Coming back to the bike, as I said earlier, the automatic gear is great and also the leg space to keep stuff at the front like your small groceries that your wife might just call up on a late afternoon. The hassle of hanging in on the handle is not there. The pick up is generally good but not as good as your geared bike but you cannot challenge that because a bike is always bike and you cannot challenge your scooter to do the same, that would be just unfair. But in its league, the pick up is rather smooth and you do have that confidence level also.
The mileage well currently just before the 1st service, it is rather good at 45-46 levels(I did the full tank theory). Stability at tight corners are a bit hazy and I have this feeling that negotiating those tight corners and U Turns, you might just slip. But hey! we are not riding a race bike, are we?
The finishing the metallics and plastics are really good. They could have come up with a small space to keep your cell phone and a charging point which is really useful. That is a set back for 70K onroad Std version scooter. The storage space under the seat is NOT suitable for a full face helmet and again thats a put off.
so activa 125 cc is good and mileage also good
