The Honda Activa 110 uses a 109.51cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 7.9hp and 9.05Nm, paired with an automatic transmission. All variants share the same basic mechanical package, so engine performance remains consistent across the range. The idling stop system helps reduce fuel use during brief stops.
The Activa 110 uses telescopic front suspension and a three-step adjustable rear suspension. Braking is handled by drum brakes at both ends, supported by a Combined Braking System. It has a 12-inch front wheel and a 10-inch rear wheel, with a 764mm seat height, 162mm ground clearance and a 5.3-litre fuel tank.
Equipment varies by variant. The entry-level version gets a basic instrument cluster and steel wheels, while higher variants add features such as an LED headlamp, alloy wheels, a colour TFT display, a USB Type-C charging port and keyless operation. The Smart variant adds connected functionality, with availability of individual features depending on the version.
I had a very expensive version of Harley Davidson for more than 6 years, but Bullet Classic is a class apart.
I am using the Yamaha FZX hybrid, and it's highly responsive.

I am looking to buy a new scooter primarily for city commuting, with a typical daily riding distance of around 7 to 8 km. My pillion rider is a senior citizen, so ease of getting on and off, comfortable seating, and a stable ride are important considerations. Price is not an issue. Kindly suggest a suitable scooter that would meet these requirements.
Given your low daily run and emphasis on comfort and practicality, we'd advise you to choose between the Honda Activa 110 / 125, Suzuki Access 125 and TVS Jupiter 125. These are reliable, fuss-free, comfortable, fuel-efficient and practical machines - basically textbook family scooter options - which will all suit your needs very well. We'd recommend you take your pillion with you on your test ride and then gauge which one fits your needs best.
I am a new learner and am planning to buy a two-wheeler in Pune. With so many options available, I am quite confused. I want something that is not too heavy and is smooth to ride, as I will be commuting 30-40 km every day. I also want a reliable engine that does not require frequent maintenance or servicing, as I plan to keep the vehicle for as long as possible. I am 5ft 7in, so it should also be suitable for my height. I would prefer an ethanol-compatible petrol two-wheeler that will not give me trouble. Which bike or scooter would be suitable for me?
You haven't specified whether or not you want a geared motorcycle or a CVT scooter, so we'll suggest reputable options from both brackets.If you are looking to get your first bike as a tool to learn how to operate the clutch and gears, then you should consider the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / CB125 Hornet, TVS Raider, Hero Super Splendor / Xtreme 125R. These are all well-priced, smooth, fuel-efficient and comfortable machines which should last you a long time and keep you comfortable over your 40km commute.If a scooter is what you prefer, then pick from reputed options like the Honda Activa 110 / 125, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125, Suzuki Access and Yamaha Fascino / RayZR.You should choose based on two things: first, which bike/scooter you gel with most on your test ride and whichever one has a service centre not too far from your residence / office for hassle-free ownership in the long run.
I need Honda Activa 110 standard model. The actual price on your website is too reasonable but the dealers are simply charging unnecessary fees. Can I buy through you?
We do not sell vehicles directly, so you will need to purchase the Activa 110 base variant through an authorised Honda dealer. The price you see on our website is the ex-showroom price for your city, which is the manufacturer's price before non-negotiable on-road extras like registration, insurance, handling charges and other statutory fees are added, which is why the on-road price is higher. If you still feel the dealer is charging a higher than necessary amount, ask for a detailed breakup and compare it with the one from other Honda dealers in your city. You can also negotiate on handling charges and insurance. If you are still not satisfied, try a different authorised dealer. The Activa 110 is a hugely popular scooter and availability should not be an issue.
Hi, I have been riding TVS Jupiter since 2017 and my usage is around 20 km but now, when I took it for service, I came to know that the chassis of the bike has rusted and there are cracks in it. Since I am unable to find a spare, I want to change it. Should I go for electric or petrol scooter? If I choose the electric scooter, will the rusting problem still persist in the chassis. Please provide your valuable suggestion as I want to go for a budget scooter.
Since you stay in a coastal city like Chennai, its not uncommon to hear about rust causing structural integrity issues in the scooter's chassis. Given that your daily run is quite low, opting for an EV would be our recommendation only if you plan to keep it for a long time because that's the only way you'll be able to recoup the additional initial acquisition cost over an ICE scooter. In the EV space, our top picks are the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Konarc / Rizta, Vida VX2 and River Indie. Whereas in the ICE scooter segment, choose between the Honda Activa 110/125, Suzuki Access, Yamaha Fascino / RayZR and TVS Jupiter 110 /125. Ensure you take a test ride of all the models in whichever segment you are shopping in before you make your decision.
I want to buy an EV two-wheeler for my daughter after six months for local city usage in Chennai. She will turn 18 years old at that time. I have been using a Honda Unicorn for the past 10 years and am happy with it. I may also use the EV vehicle occasionally once I buy it. Can you suggest which EV vehicle or brand would be the best and most reliable? I have Ather, iQube, and Bajaj Chetak in mind, along with a few other EVs I have seen on the road but am not very familiar with. Or would you suggest going for a petrol vehicle instead? If an EV is not suitable, I am open to buying a petrol vehicle as well.
The options you have shortlisted in the EV space are a great place to start, and if you want a simple, no-nonsense EV, the TVS iQube is one of our top picks in the class. Depending on your daily use case, choose a variant with sufficient battery capacity, keeping some margin for spontaneity and emergencies. If you are still unsure about moving to an electric two-wheeler, in the ICE scooter space, options like the Honda Activa 110 / 125, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and Suzuki Access 125 are our top recommendations. These are easy to get on with, lightweight and frugal machines which are practical and reliable to own as well.
