HONDA AVIATOR

What's it about?

The Aviator is the Activa is the Dio, right? Wrong. Yes, the motor is the same, but the Aviator offers a lot more than the other two Hondas. It's designed to feel slightly more 'premium', and that explains the front disc on the DLX variant, making it the only Honda scoot to offer one. It is also the only Honda to offer telescopic front forks and at 6 litres, has the larger fuel tank too. It doesn't look as exciting as the new Dio, however, and that's a given since it's around half a decade old now. Get one if you like it – it's hard to fault.

FOR: Space, front-disc on DLX

AGAINST: Looks less appealing than the Vespa or even the Dio!
