As Indians we only want simple things not complicated machinery Activa has improved a lot by also keeping it user friendly so that every family member can drive it with ease. It's a scooter not a car so let that smart connectivity of seeing scores,watching videos in cars only we are riding a two wheeler not a car. Activa is best of the best ❤.

[@MrSMK21]

In a country as demographically diverse as India, you'll always find a few million scooter buyers for whom scooters are nothing but a tool to get from point A to point B. They dont ride it for fun (that's a luxury!), and no matter how aspirational our population gets, thanks to the diversity, honda will always find buyers for their Activas. So many have tried and failed to beat it. This is what happens when you read the market right and place your product perfectly. I feel Honda knows they can get by with minimal updates and are like, if it ain't broke.... We as a country still have a long way to go before the targetted audience for Activa turns aspirational enough to demand more from Honda and till then, the Honda cash register will keep ringing.

[@motorinc]

Good points @mrkszz! Change though, it doesn't start with the masses. It starts when _enough_ people show an interest in something better.

[@stevieray213]

Don't know about you guys, but cars and bikes are PROHIBITIVELY expensive for most Indians. And the prices have skyrocketed post-covid thanks to the manufacturers' lobbying and non-existent price control. There's also the matter of 49-50% tax slapped on the ex showroom prices of vehicles pan-India. Why would I spend 10 lakhs on a car whose actual price is no more than 5-6 lakhs???? I don't think the people commenting here are aware of the obscene wealth disparity plaguing the country while our prime minister is giving communal speeches and propagating the Indian version of the great replacement theory. So no, people will not show "interest" in something unless their material conditions improve.

[@stevieray213]

Just because you have your baap ka paisa doesn't mean the millions of poor people do. They are caught in the struggle for the rozi-roti.

[@IIInvokeII]

It doesn't seem like the population who's main purpose of an Activa is practicality, would consider anything like Disc Brakes, ABS, Design Changes, etc. To them, User Experience is not in the picture. For the people who do care about UX, they would care enough to find out better options for themselves. If any other manufacturer got the same title for their scooter, I'm sure they would follow the same tactics

One personal gripe of mine is Honda doesn't have a fixed schedule for cleaning the fuel injection system. Took the family Activa for service & asked them regarding this. Their response- हम उसको नहीं छेड़ते जब तक कोई दिक्कत न हो. I also have a FZ ver 2.0 & Yamaha strongly recommends getting the FI system cleaned at intervals of 6,000 km. Still getting about 55 kmpl on it.

Hey, i have been using bs6 activa 6g std variant since 2 years now. For those who think that activa is worst and it should be updated, yes i agree it needs to be updated as per today's market but it is not worst at all, its honestly a gem of a scooter. Although as an automobile enthusiast, i do love to ride it and it has a no nonsense, practical, fuel efficient and very punchy 109cc engine which is linear till 45 kmph and after that it reaches 90 in no time at all! As sometimes i ride in highways till 80 kmph, while overtaking everyone and laughing contagiously in enjoyment, Still it dont wobble even at its top speed, which is amazing and it doesn't even make me feel scared at all! It has very very good suspension setup which absorbs almost 60% of shocks on roads, it also performes very well in bad roads filled with several potholes. It delivers me daily 55 kmpl (yes i am not joking) without 3rd service and no oil change after 2nd service. Idk why Activa gets unwanted hate, there's always a reason for something. Not a single time it has disappointed me tbh its the best scooter i have ever purchased!! 😊😀 Edit:- i have clocked 11,501 kms in my activa 6g, i had done 2nd service in 3700 kms till now i haven't serviced it yet and no oil change at all. This is the power of activa 🥰❤️

Finally someone made a video on this topic. Main reason is only Access and Jupiter can compete against activa as Hero is unable to capture scooter market. Access has captured 125cc segment and they know that they have high chances of failing if they enter 110cc as there is already activa and jupiter. Tvs has very pathetic service but there scooters are good plus it is an Indian brand. From starting they are giving telescopic suspension, currently providing tech loaded scooter variants etc but still they are unable to build trust. And other thing is that majorly only youth does research before buying and goes for new things, others just want a simple scooter, no new features no stress just a scooter for going from A to B and many people say activa when you say scooter. They know scooter by the name activa only.

The Indian market is truly amazing! Had it been any other market, consumers would have stopped purchasing the activa years ago. Only the Indians can throw all free market competition and economics out of the window. 😂

[@motorinc]

Any other market? We do think that generalisation is a little too sweeping. India is unique though. Since we're a relatively poor country moving towards affluence, our buying pattern reflects the former although we're often closer to the latter. This means we prefer what appears to be a safe purchase - sometimes we _demand_ that things remain the same. We need to grow out of that.

[@summerslider2487]

Activa is a foolproof product. That’s why it gets sales. Indians buy whatever is reliable and gives them safety with maximum savings. One can’t ignore our past of having less money in circulation. It’s a fact that many prefer getting the basic tools to operate. With generations coming forth this trend is changing. But this happens over periods 20-30 years at a time. Not overnight.

@@summerslider2487 Indians are value oriented people. We tend to buy what provides us with maximum VFM. The Activa, at the moment, is not maximum VFM. Which is peculiar.

[@aryapore3101]

Although I'm a young rider, I've ridden quite a few Activas till now from many of my friends and one thing's for sure, the seat is just uncomfortable, u sink in the seat very weirdly, it doesn't feel firm and while it's engine does the job, go above 50-55 it gives up lol. And don't get started on their conditions right now😂. And heads up, all these Activas I'm talking about are max four years old. Meanwhile I'm using the Access 125 handed to me from my parents and the seat seats you firmly and the engine is a gem. Probably the best engine in the competition along with the Ntorq. The only complain I've with my Access is that the suspensions feel quite stiff but maybe i can give it the benefit of doubts that they've improved it in the updates, so I'll say that the Activa "seems" better in suspensions maybe😂. But yeah gonna remain an Access fanboy. Change my mind🙃

What an excellent timing for the video, just last night my family was discussing over replacing our ~35000 km run 2017 Jupiter with an ev. Now I really need an educated advice should we keep using the Jupiter or go with the ev? And could you please recommend the best vfm option in the ev scooter space upto rs 1,20,000. (Would not mind if the recommendation undercuts the budget 😉)

[@motorinc]

Hey Prateek! Electric scooters do pretty well in the city environment for convenience etc, but making back the money you spend up front in terms of the additional cost over an ICE requires a lot of riding. If you're going to do similar mileage, then an e-Scooter should recover the cost on a similar time/distance frame. We recommend you look at the Ather 450S as a great basic electric, 450X if you want something more sporty. We don't recommend Olas. The River Indie is an option too - but so far they're only in BLR so you may not be able to get one.

[@prateekacharya8792]

@@motorinc Hey motorinc thanks for replying, the usage as you mentioned I think will increase owing to the cheaper running costs of the ev and it will make recovering the cost a little faster. And coming to the recommendation i am also leaned towards the ather but not the 450s but the rizta because it does offer better storage compared to 450s which is quite handy for running errands and hauling in more items home. Was there a particular reason you skipped out the rizta which I may have missed?

Honestly I would simply reject the scooter for this reason alone. Thank you for bringing up this point.

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing your perspective Aman! ♥️

[@AMI2AV]

We had 4 Activas(HET,125,5G,6G)in our family. Last year we sold all of them just because of fuel economy. Not even a single one among them returned more than 30kmpl throughout their lives. 25kmpl is what we all were getting. Being frustrated we sold all. Now we have a ntorq, access, Avenis, Fascino. Trust me the worst decision you can make in your life is buying an Activa. Just because you want a safety of purchase, the Activa isn’t the only option in the market make that clear.

[@JiPappaJi]

All the new scooters you're having now, are 125cc. Among those, which one do you prefer and what are the pros of all of those. Looking for a new scooter and those are the ones I am considering, so an opinion would be quite valuable.

[@AMI2AV]

@@JiPappaJi I’ll be very honest. If it’s for your personal use, consider Avenis or the ntorq( if you’re tall, Avenis seat height helps, there’s less space for the pillion if you’re more than 5’9 on the ntorq). If you want a scooter for your wife or mother or sister, hands down nothing comes close to Fascino, it’s so light, as good as the access, has relatively better service than TVS and Suzuki. Access can be a good scooter, but that’s like Jack of all trades master of none. To summarise, Fascino if you have ladies, for personal use consider Avenis or ntorq, Avenis if you’re taller than 5’11. Remember you’re not going to carry a cylinder daily on your scooter, find something that feels happy to ride rather than just solving purposes.

[@AMI2AV]

@@JiPappaJi Ya so I’ll be very honest. If you’re considering a sporty scooter, for personal use, consider AVENIS/NTORQ. Avenis if you’re taller than 5’11, else ntorq. The Ntorq is more Exciting to ride. The Avenis is an access with ntorq body and higher seating. But the ntorq has lager tyre on the back and its heavier weight makes it stand apart if fuel economy isn’t your concern. If it’s, buy the Avenis, it returns 45kmpl+, the ntorq 40+. Second If there’s females, hands down, eyes closed just go for the Fascino. Extremely light weight, efficient(65+), better service than TVS and Suzuki, lower seat height, hybrid motor so faster than you expect, great. Don’t consider the Access, because you’re not going to ship cylinders daily and there’s ticket for 3 ppl on a scooter. If fuel economy isn’t your concern and you want a scooter that excites you, Ntorq is great option. Buy the race XP, that’s the most sensible. Avenis if you’re concerned about economy, want that ntorq feel, but a relatively taller scooter. If there’s any female also going to use, just don’t look at these, buy Fascino, we as men it’s easy but females do struggle a bit and that’s not something we can ignore. That’s all if anything you need to know, feel free to comment.
