  • TVS Jupiter vs Honda Activa vs any other recommend scooter?

    Hello xBhpians!

    My gf is looking to buy a new scooter. She's not particular about any brand and would want to go for a decent machine at a decent price.
    Reading all the reviews online I've advised her to go for TVS Jupiter but I'd still like to know the views of fellow xBhpians.

    1. Budget: Around 50k
    2. Age: 23
    3. Height: 5'6"
    4. Weight: Don't want to risk asking that
    5. Intended usage: City commute
    6. Fuel Efficiency: the more the better
    7. City & Highway usage: City
    8. Approximate Daily running: 10-12 kms
    9. City: Bangalore
    10. Brand preference: no preference as such.

    Thanks!

    Both bikes are really good, having ridden them both. Proven reliability vs a lot of useful features. And she is probably tall enough to manage them equally well. Both are so equal, that i cannot think of recommending one over the other.
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      What a silly confusion? Yamaha Ray is the way...

        I agree, hence the confusion over which to choose over which. I'll advise her to TD both.

        P.S- I just realized the thread title says Honda Activated instead of Activa (stupid auto correct), if that could be fixed?

        Ray is good, but she somehow is not too keen on it, plus it's slightly under powered than the other two.

          Ray is the best according to me, but since your GF doesn't like it, you can check out TVS Wego. Has the so called "Body Balance" thing, nothing it has its weight in the front. Makes it easy to maneuver at speeds. I found Wego, really "Fun" to ride !
          It's a lot like nuts and bolts - if the rider's nuts, the ride - bolts!

            Isn't Ray slightly underpowered and has stiffer ride than the Jupiter?

            Also the Wego is advertised as a more male population oriented ride, so I don't think she'd want that, plus it's slightly more expensive than Jupiter.

              Righto, the girl actually knew the meaning of 'underpower' & she is actually keen on buying the most powerful scooter in India!! Way to go!!

                  Well that would've been suggested by me to some extent :P
                  I actually can't really find something that clearly puts one over the other and hence this confusion! I have suggested her to take a TD of all three - Jupiter, Ray and Activa.

                    Finally went for Yamaha Ray, Jupiter's 3 month waiting period was a deal breaker.
                    Delivery will be taken on Tuesday :thumbup:

                      Smart choice.

                      3 month waiting on Jupiter. Surprising.
                      We can see many Jupiter on roads. Honda should start worrying now.

                        One dealer said 3 months, one said 4 months. This is for Bangalore, no idea for other cities.
                        Ray has no waiting, delivery on Tuesday after registration.
