And I repeat, a scooter is a step-through, fully enclosed motorcycle.

Not one marketing guy is going to bother about the definition of a scooter. As long as they get to tomtom their achievements!

They should launch powerful Scooters now in 150-160cc range

Re: Honda Activa outsells motorcycles by a margin so far in 2016!

From a business point of view, why would they? The market for a 150cc scoot isn't there, vespa already sells one and how many do they sell ?
Even the 125cc activa has very few takers compared to the 110cc models (activa, dio, aviator).
When they don't bother to bring in 'powerful'/new models of motorcycles in the 200-600cc range which could potentially have a good run here if priced reasonably, I don't see a reason they would want to bring in 150cc scooters . The market for activa's is not because it is powerful but because it is convenient and reliable. And as long as it makes them money they wouldn't mind selling it ignoring the pleas of the power starved minority

Kinetic's loss was honda's gain. As a kid I remember seeing a kinetic honda in many houses in my neighborhood and also was the first motorized vehicle that i crashed when i was in class 8.
I got a second hand one in 2006 for 5000bucks just like that. It was fun to ride that. One of the best two stroke motor.

My dad used a Kinetic Honda for 11 years...The seat height was low & very comfortable...
