The Honda Activa is an amazing bike. Ask
anybody who owns it and they will vouch for it. Let me introduce you to
this 2 wheeled marvel and show you why Honda is a master of their art
of building 2 wheelers.
A Winner Among the Masses:
Since its launch in 2001 the Honda Activa has become a hit with both
men and women as it caters to the needs of both genders. Practical,
comfortable, convenient, reliable, durable, maintenance and stress free,
workhorse, family carrier etc… are some of the adjectives associated
with the Activa.
The Engine: The bike
has a 102 cc engine with v-matic 4-speed transmission and 7 bhp of
power. The only shortcoming is, the bike gives only 40 km/ltr in city
and 45 on highway. I am sure this is a small price to pay as once you
ride the bike and feel the refinement of the engine even at 70 km/hr you
won’t mind about mileage at all.
Lots of Storage Space: The
bike has plenty of storage space for little knick-knacks and for those
trips to the market and grocery stores. You have an optional storage
compartment box to fit beneath the handlebar for extra storage space.
Beneath the seat you can keep your full-face helmet and save money, as
you won’t need a helmet lock.
Wings of Change: Activa
has a 6-liter fuel tank and has a range of 240 kms on highways before
needing a refill. The bike has a metal body that is sturdy and because
of this the bike weighs almost 110 kgs. The weight is an advantage to
you as, cross winds won’t affect you when you are driving in city or
highways and the bike is stable and steady on all kinds of roads. The
suspension and the wide comfortable seat keep the rider and pillion
isolated from the bumps and other irregularities.
Have you got your Honda?
The Activa is the best bike for those crowded rush hour traffic and
nothing even comes close. You can out maneuver anything else with this
bike and I think you should call it “traffic buster”. The bike is in my
opinion the easiest 2 wheeler to drive. No gears, no clutch, self-start
for easy starts. The bike has tuff-up tube tires on both wheels, which
are puncture proof. I feel the bike is even easier than a cycle as you
have to just sit and twist the throttle and zip away. Remember in a
cycle you have to pedal and it’s a pain while Honda Activa is a pleasure
to drive.
Honda has always been a
top automobile company and their products are the best. Just take a
look around you and you will realize that some of the best bikes in
India are from Honda. Unicorn, CBZ Xtreme, Hunk, Activa, Splendour,
Passion, Dio, Shine, the old CBZ, CBF Stunner, Pleasure etc. to name a
few.
If you guys can remember some time back
you will realize the gearless scooter which made Kinetic Famous was also
a Honda under the skin. Later we had the 4s edition which was also
courtesy of Honda.
You see even Pleasure is also a Honda
underneath. What I am trying to tell you is that Honda tech is the one
of the best in the world why else do you think companies like Kinetic
and Hero had collaborations with Honda.
So obviously when Honda releases a
product it will be truly world class. Honda entered the Indian market
with the active and soon the bike became a hit. Honda established itself
in India as a major 2 wheeler force. Later we had Dio, Unicorn, Shine
and now Stunner.
An absolute review shard here.Honda Activa is a perfect combination of reliable and durable scooter with high performance engine.The only cons are high price and low mileage.
