Hello friend, happy to tell u about my opinion on honda activa. I used this scooter for eight months. Normally people think this is a best scooter. Actually it was a best of its kind when launched in india. Indian auto industry has no such kind of scooters when it was launched. Only bajaj sunny n tvs scooty were on top of the list. So with a bigger size n more powerful engine activa attracted people, so got a good brand image. It still continues till today. But now activa is not coming with old strong body or comfort. Todays activa gives much back pain, shoulder pains if one drives it more than ten kms in a single drive. Traffic became huge now a days. Thre is no fuel efficiancy as well. Spares are costly. Engine gets heats up soon on a short travel. There is no match between activa n indian roads. There r much more models of same catogery that suits indian roads n indian people. Main disadvantages of honda activa are, shoulder pain, back pain, less mailage, costly spares, less durability, scooter vibrations. I strongly recomend not to buy honda activa.
