Currently, Honda has not announced any plans to launch a maxi-scooter in 2026 and given the niche market demand it would garner owing to their high price, this also seems like a remote possibility. 

Coming to the Aerox, it is a great option if you want a fun scooter. However, it can feel cramped for taller riders, and its rear suspension is also very stiff. This will get near intolerable daily if you live in an area with bad roads. 

Instead, take a look at the new TVS Ntorq 150, which combines peppy performance with comfort and practicality.

The TVS Ntorq 150 is the most powerful scooter in your shortlist, and it will also be the most fun to ride. It is also the most feature-packed, with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes and a host of other features. The TVS Jupiter 125 is a more practical option, with plush ride quality and a huge 33-litre underseat storage space. 

The Suzuki Access 125 is a family scooter with peppy performance that should be very reliable and fuel-efficient, too. The Honda Activa 125 doesn't have any one standout feature, but is a proven package you can't really go wrong with.

Take a test ride of all four so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.

Since you have had such a lovely experience with your Dazzler, you could play it safe and replace it with the Honda Unicorn / SP160 - both of which can trace their roots back to your machine. Other options for you in a similar displacement bracket are the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160. 

Coming to scooters, we would recommend the TVS Ntorq 125 or Ntorq150 - depending on your budget - both of which are sporty, capable and comfortable scooters that will stand out from the crowd. The only reason we would steer you away from the Yamaha Aerox is its stiff rear suspension, which will get tiring and downright intolerable if you stay in an area with less-than-perfect roads.
