Honda Activa on the highway? Yeah! I had to transport my wife’s Activa (Aug 2012 model) from Lucknow to Bareilly (about 275 KM). The courier guys demanded Rs 1900/- while the railways RS 1000/- with no responsibility for damages. I decided to drive it myself. I have driven my bike pulsar 180 cc several times on long hauls but never a scooty!
I left (solo) at 4:30 AM with a full tank and in no time the vehicle was in-charge of the highway. I maintained an average speed of 60-65KMPH. It negotiated very well with all categories of vehicles. About 50% road was quite good. The rest was average. The Activa gave me no worries at all. I halted twice for snacks etc. but the vehicle never demanded any rest on its own. Nearing Bareilly I filled some more petrol and over all 450 Rupees worth of fuel took me 276 KM (mileage of 40 plus). So my verdict? Don’t kill the Activa in the city.
Stretch her legs! She’ll take you all the way!!
