Thumbs up New Scooter from Honda

That's right,Honda has gone crazy with it's autogear scooters...
it's not even been a year scince the launch of the aviator,
honda is coming up with a revamped version of activa...

engine specs now feature the revamped wonder of the activa,as the new scooter will be having a 109cc engine(unlike the activas 102cc) and many other changes to the engine..

this info is 100% genuine as it was passed on to me from the honda officials themselves...


many honda mechanics/engineers from all the cities were assembled in banglore in last week of january where they were given training on the new vehicle...
(this is the standard procedure before the launch of any new vehicle)


as the engeneer said,the main purpose of the new vehicle was to remove the glitches of the new aviator(he said some thing about the usage of more metal unlike the usage of many plastics in the aviator)

the main visual change would be that of the head light unit....


so ppl looking foreward for buying a new scooter,may be delay ur plans for now.......

Heard it will be named as Honda Activa "Deluxe"

The new scooter must have telescopic front shocks along with good underseat storage as minimal features.

Thought the Aviator was the Activa upgrade! Looks like Honda wants to bank on the success they have with scooters and are in no mood to let anyone else come near to its top of the charts position in that segment. Good for the consumer
