Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is a good scooter to buy Honda Activa 6G or Suzuki Access 125?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. Activa 6G packs a very refined motor and finally gets a telescopic front fork. Overall, the Activa 6G offers a much smoother engine, better-claimed fuel efficiency, as well as slightly improved handling and ride quality, ensuring that it fills the shoes of its predecessor rather well. On the other hand, The Suzuki Access 125 is one of the most refined scooters in India. It offers superb ride quality and soaks up bumps really well. It has all the crucial updates to help it continue its streak of being the best-selling scooter in the 125cc segment. Sure it does have its own set of shortcomings but as an overall package, the Suzuki Access 125 is capable of holding its own in the competitive segment. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. What is the difference between Honda Activa 6G Standard and Premium Edition?
  • What's difference between 6g & 5g
  • Shukriya badhiya gadi hai Activa Honda ki veri nice
  • The first difference that you notice upfront is the gold-coated chrome garnish that the Premium Edition gets on the front apron. The standard Activa 6G’s design, on the other hand, is familiar, looks proportionate, and is elegant. It doesn’t get the chrome garnish and looks a bit bland when compared to the Premium Edition. The Premium Edition also features gold-colored steel wheels and badges, further accentuating the premium feel. That said, we wish Honda had given alloys in the Premium Edition. You get neatly-finished white steel wheels on the standard version of the Activa 6G.
Q. Which is better between Honda Activa 6G or Suzuki Access 125?
  • Selecting the right bike/scooter would depend on certain factors such as your budget, fuel type preference, maintenance costs, usability, etc. Activa 6G packs a very refined motor and finally gets a telescopic front fork. Overall, the Activa 6G offers a much smoother engine, better claimed fuel efficiency, as well as slightly improved handling and ride quality, ensuring that it fills the shoes of its predecessor rather well. On the other hand, The Suzuki Access 125 is one of the most refined scooters in India. It offers superb ride quality and soaks up bumps really well. It has all the crucial updates to help it continue its streak of being the best-selling scooter in the 125cc segment. Sure it does have its own set of shortcomings but as an overall package, the Suzuki Access 125 is capable of holding its own in the competitive segment. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
