Now while we do say that our PET gives you an overall winner and we do have one, the Flyte. It is clearly our winner by two seconds.The Access a close second (my fault, more than the scooter’s) with the Activa a distant third. But if we do factor in the loss due to human error, the Access and the Flyte are neck and neck for the top spot. Both are evenly matched in terms of performance, and handling while the ride on the Suzuki is up a notch, especially for the pillion. And Pablo will vouch for that.All three machines are built to a fault and but the Honda’s age is evident. The powertrain, even with it’s fantastic refinement levels, is in need of an upgrade, same goes with the styling. Clearly, another sticker job won’t cut it for Honda with the two new 125cc machines leading the way.
The Activa and the Access have Rs 1,500 between them with the Access priced at Rs 42,730(ex-showroom Mumbai). But keep in mind that if you do opt for the Activa, you going to have shell out a bit extra for the side stand and other small parts like a front storage space which then makes the Access a steal. Especially since it’s powered by a 125cc motor. The Flyte on the other hand beats these two with a price of Rs 37,400 (ex-showroom Mumbai) which is another good reason to seriously consider it over the Suzuki and the Honda.
Oh and by the way, no scooters, or riders, were drowned after this shoot.
