re: Activa 125 brochure leaked...Launch may happen soon...

Topic Approved.

The last time a rumor of Activa 125 was heard, it turned out to be Activa-i. A pink color themed image of a pair of wings with a Honda invitation to a press event was doing the rounds on the internet. Later on, it turned out to be Activa-i which was basically the 3rd generation Activa engine, displacing the same 109cc from the 2nd generation engine, but with few improvements that made it slightly torquier, more frugal & lighter.


But, it seems there was an Activa 125 within the R&D all this time, probably that's why the rumors were panning out, in the past.


Although, the English used in the manuals is not semantically perfect. So, I still doubt whether we can blindly rely on these leaked brochures.

Re: Activa 125 brochure leaked...Launch may happen soon...

They could have extracted atleast 9 bhp from 125cc engine.

Re: Activa 125 brochure leaked...Launch may happen soon...

Yeah...you are right.
8.5bhp from a 125cc is motor is not cool at all as per today's standards. All in all they upgraded it with .5 bhp but torque has been increased by good amount. I think honda knows that 90% of Indian public relates cc to power as they are not aware of term called bhp.

I personally feel Vespa is the best. 10 bhp and 10.6 NM torque + the looks. Its cost is the huge disadvantage thou.

Re: Activa 125 brochure leaked...Launch may happen soon...

For a gear-less scooter we don't need much bhp than torque. These are going to spend their time in bumper to bumper traffic. In that case the engine need torque for zippy & fun ride. When you find some open space, gun down the throttle. Been using access & dio(100cc) for almost 4 years.

Vespa is a retro scooter which is aimed for who prefer lifestyle statement. I took a test ride of vespa vx for a short spin. The low end torque is not good enough to mull around. once you open it up, you could feel the power/torque. Though i am not a big fan of vespa.


I wonder what will be the weight of activa 125 would be. If it's below 110 kgs, You got a better scooter.
