Hi ,
After returning from Kuwait for good, I looked for a gearless two wheeler
so that even my wife can also use. ( as I have a plan to go far a car soon.)
I gone through most of the reviews on Mouthshut.com for all gearless vehicles
and was very convinced to go for Kinetic Nova 135CC as the reviews
are good.fortunately or unfortunately I hardly find good reviews for Honda
Activa.that is reason I went to Airport RD Kinetic showroom, Bangalore and enquired
about the Nova 135cc and was about book the vehicle within couple of days.but started observing Bangalore roads to my surprise found lot of of Activas, but hardly I find couple of novas in a days observation during my travel to/from office/home.
Then I decided on Activa and brought one, assuming if Activa is not satisfied by customers there can’t be 10lakh Activas sold till now.offcourse one review in mouthshut.com by my friend Rajagopal’s helped me rightly about deciding Activa.
Thanks to Him.
I am writing this review based on my knowledge and experience with Activa, I brought it on 27th Feb 2006, in Bangalore till now (18th Apr 2006) I covered around 2000KM on Activa and great point I would like to share is Mileage of 45KM( sometimes even more 47KM ).completed my first servicing only paid 154Rs for change of Oil.Initially Mileage is less starts with 35Km and gradually now reached and is stable at 45Km so far.
One puncture happened for rear tube and it is neck cut, so replaced the tube.that
is the only major problem I faced till now.I recently travelled continously for 100KM along with my wife and kid without much difficulty on Activa.
Hope this review helps you.
