Dear Arun
I have purchased Honda Activa (KA-04-EG-7880) after much deliberation, I did read lot of reviews here on Mouthshut also, We are a family of five members including a three year old kid, except my father, all four of us ride for short distances, even after such a tremendous payload (totalling 177 kilos of all four members) my dear old activa wont protest or creak under pressure, only problem is parts are quite costly, recently I changed the old stickering to the latest great looking new stickers, it cost me Rs.450/-, I came to know from the mechanic who fixed the stickers for me that the lastest fashionable stickers are in great demand and in less supply, tho be warned that because of small wheel base, please do not attempt to turn corners at high speed, it most assuredly skids, It been nearly two and half years since then (19-02-2004). Fantastically steady vehicle, smooth and vibration free, never crosses above 70 kmph, average fuel eficiency, not a single puncture since two and half years even after riding on the roughest roads of Bangalore (Dodda Bommasandra Road, Near BEL), one amazing fact is that there is a nail lodged firmly inside the back tyre for more than a year, I havent bothered to remove it, Thank you, Tuffup Technology. Overall a very good vehicle, worth every rupee you would have invested.
