I was one among the first ten customer in India and 3rd in Bangalore when I bought Honda Aviator in July 2008.
Its very good scooter that I have used till date. I have rided all the scooters including Activa, Deo, Scooty and others but find Aviator is King of All, when compared to overall performance.
At present also my Aviator gives a mileage of around 38-45 KMPL in City and crosses 50 KMPL when I go for long ride on it. To get this mileage you need to take care of it properly in terms of timely service, Filling Air in the tyre once in 15 days, riding it between the speed of 40-50.
Honda aviator is lighter in weight than activa and has better quality of suspensions, better mileage and wider tyres compare to Honda Activa.
Also I enjoy its USP benefits like low fuel indicator, battery recharge indicator, low oil indicator [unique in aviator], pass light [unique in aviator].
So I'm still enjoying my ride on AVIATOR AND NOT WILLING TO CHANGE.
also they have good looking bike
(W.r.t milage, comfort, look, performance)
As I am thinking of buying an aviator, I was just surffing the net... I have come across somany complaints about mileage and vehicle performance. I am not finding any response from the side of company.
Does it mean that the allegations are correct! If then I am now Afraid to go for it or not... Pl. give a correct picture about this new aviator with respect to perfomance and mileage...
Also clarify ... is there any guarantee for this vehicle from the company's side..........?
Hoping to hear from you... And looking forward to purchase this model.... just waiting for your reply.
just dont think go and buy a activa or aviator they are both no hassel vehicals these new age scooters combines the advantages of scooter (storage space,your feet and legs are covered on muddy roads) with all the advantages of bikes (handling, pickup, ground clearance, control). I can see the future of motorcycles in danger.....yeah i mean it..
just one thing aviator is for men and activa is for all
