                  Good performance
                  Maine yeh bike iske stylish looks aur family-friendly comfort ke liye chuni hai. Yeh acha mileage deti hai aur highways par kaafi smooth chalti hai. City rides mein suspension thoda stiff lagta hai, par iski overall reliability isse perfect banati hai. Ride ab tak kamaal ki rahi hai. Iska comfort aur handling behad zabardast hai, jisse highway par tez speed mein chalana aasan ho jata hai. Mileage bhi kaafi acha hai. Bas bumpy city roads par suspension thoda stiff lagta hai. Highly recommend! Yeh un logon ke liye perfect hai jo daily commute ke sath weekend highway rides pasand karte hain. Iske superb mileage, stylish looks aur rock-solid reliability ke liye ise zaroor khareedein. Bas kharab raston par suspension thoda stiff hai.

                  Activa 125 smooth refined and practical.
                  Chose this over access 125 for trust on Honda and refined engine Needed it's practicality for groceries shopping and other day to day things, honda service is know best so preferred this over others, looks were good at the time of purchase now better looking alternative are available. It's is comfortable for both rider and pillion for continuous 2 hours of riding mileage varies between 45 to 50 kmpl depending on the riding style and for maintenance honda service centre are trust worthy. City commute with mainly groceries and city riding easy to manage in city traffic no problem of worrying about maintenance, easy to maintain, doesn't lack power can overtake easily smooth suspension. Would recommend for college students or office going person for effortless commute

                  Winner from Hero!
                  Absolutely the best in its segment. Feels like you are riding a bike. Much better than Aerox in terms of riding posture, comfort and overall performance. Some minor quirks like a dated instrument cluster, unimaginative glove box, limited storage etc. Engine performance and acceleration is nice - Aerox is tad faster. Go for Xoom 160 without a doubt!

                  Major Hit with some Flaws
                  I chose this bike as I wanted an upgraded version, bigger tyre size, better power, and with an ABS, good suspension and a bit of off-roading as Mumbai roads are pathetic . So no other bike in the market offers these things aerox is there but it has a harder suspension that is tough on shoulders positive ride , for someone who uses the scooter for daily commute this is a major upgrade than most of the scooters available in the market. The pickup is good , braking is amazing , the handling is a bit hard, it is just the engine sound that is a bit off Yes I would recommend this bike to anyone who uses Burgman scooters in that segment if they are looking for an upgraded version. Every scooter has its ups and downs but here the ups are more and it is the most practical choice in the Indian market.
