Like most of the other owners of Activa dilemma started with choosing the right Scooter for me.
I had short-listed the requirements I was looking for in a Scooter, I had carried a test ride of Activa, Eterno and Nova, all came close but the ultimate choice was Activa.
The main motivation behind buying Activa was its utility and the brand HONDA, it has a reasonable space under seat to hold my full face helmet, the foot board can easily carry the required luggage, design even though old looks pleasing and I like it, fuel tank is good enough to do 250 Km atleast at full (6 Litres), mileage of around mid 40?s is reasonably good for a variomatic scooter. The metal body has a good fit and finish with reasonably good instrumentation and click.
The only thing I did not like was to wait for almost 40 days before I could start using this beauty. But believe me after getting the delivery and my first long ride there was nothing to regret (as good things come by time). Ride quality is really good the engine with its soft firing sounds better. Starting the Activa in morning is not a trouble once you get used to it, getting it on and off the stand is also easy.
Regarding servicing I cannot comment because it isn't still due but I believe it will be upto the mark.
I really recommend this scooter to all my friends, (legal driving) Age and sex seems to be no bar for riding this machine.
I really like to thank MS for providing such a good platform to express my views which might be useful for someone someday.
