    New Honda Activa before April 2009.Edit: :Launched on 27th March 09

    Hi guys,
    Anyone of u is planning to buy a scooter (well,I know its the era of superbikes).Then good news for u Honda is planning to launch an all new Honda activa 2009 model in March 2009,called as Activa deluxe. The new model will be having a 110 cc engine which now enables you to compete with any powerful bikes. Combined Braking will be the new feature that is used which allows pressing either the front or rear brake to stop the vehicle completely. This is useful to people who are not sure with which brake to press first. The new Activa model will be having low weight metal parts. So the heavy weight of about 100kg of the old vehicle will be reduced to a much less body. This helps in more easy handling of the vehicle and the mileage of the scooter will increase with this change The Activa Deluxe will be getting an additional feature, illuminated luggage box.

      ^^ Please be a little more detailed on the news please, it's a bit vague at the moment, and i hope you are talking but the Activa which is said to come out with the PGM-Fi??
      I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.

              MG, that would be a great new design for Activa.

              BTW, I hope Honda sticks to metal body for Activa. That is its USP.

              Also, Honda gotta do something to pickup Activa sales as the waiting period came down considerably and Suzuki Access has still got waiting period.

                Would that mean an engine upgrade for Dio and Aviator as well? Coz they all use the same engine.

                  At the moment the new engine is restricted only to the Activa. The old model Activa will simultaneously remain in production till 2010. Immediate launches are not expected in the Dio and Aviator although they could follow later.

                  The rear end has been redesigned with an Aviator style grab rail. Cosmetic differences are slight and not major. The big pity is that the suspension system has not been revamped.

                  As with regard to Activa sales I don't believe Honda have any reason to worry on the scooter front as they are operating at full capacity and whatever added capacity they are working will be fully booked. The reduction in waiting periods for the Activa is due to the impending launch of the new model. Wait times will shoot up again next month.

                    Launch date

                    I spoke to the Honda staff and they say that this bike will be released in March 1st or 2nd week.

                      This "new" Activa is already in the Europe market as Honda Lead.

                      Uptil now the Dio was being sold in Europe as Lead.

                      The European Lead has a liquid cooled 108 cc engine and has its fuel tank under the footboard.

                      And I cant seem to find a kick-start in the European Lead! If that's the case for the Indian Activa then it'll be the first scooter to do without a kick, following in the footsteps of the P220

                        Great news!!! Especially for me because my dad is willing to sell his HH splendor and wanna buy an activa....

                        Activa is really good for commuting especially in the cities where the traffic is cumbersome... Expecting further good news about Activa soon....

                          The 100cc Activa had quite a 'go' and in 110cc guise it would only get better.I am expecting some makeover to help the present staid looks of the scooter!!

                              keep your fingers crossed.

                              At least I don't expect the new Activa to come up with a revolutionary new engine that is much different from the existing Activa's Engine... expect a good body design and some gizmos but stuff like fuel tank under foot board too is not digestable!
