Honda’s Activa is the highest selling scooter in the country and the scooter comes in three avatars. The most powerful version is the Activa 125, which as the name suggests is a 125cc scooter. We have ridden the Activa 3G and the Activa-i previously, now we lay our hands on the Activa 125. Lets find out if it is worth to buy a 125cc Activa or whether the 110cc is good enough.
The Activa 125 is more premium than the Activa 3G and it shows. It gets the Y chrome apron and bigger headlamp. The Activa 125 also gets larger 12-inch wheels, which seems to have been taken form the Aviator. Then there are the alloy wheels that made the Activa 125 look a lot more premium. Even the tail lamp is new and the rear grab handle has been elongated. The Activa 125cc looks bigger than the Activa 3G, and this has more of subtle styling while the Activa 3G is sleeker
The Activa 125 features a 124.9cc engine that makes 8.7PS and 10.12Nm of torque. Honda has managed this increase in displacement by increasing the bore and stroke dimensions of the smaller 110cc engine. The bottom end as well as the CVT system is identical to the smaller Activa. With these small changes it comes as no surprise then that the Activa 125 feels similar to the 110 when you’re riding it too.
bike started to jumps like an horse at a speed of 30-50 and due to which I get a severe shoulder pain. To add on I even have jerking problems. I don’t get control over my bike in highways due to heavy air. I have visited the dealer’s place 6 times regarding all this problems. But at the end I face the same problem and pain.
