Honda Aviator - Aviates Your Style and Profile.

Honda Aviator - Aviates Your Style and Profile.

The Honda Aviator is one of the many offerings of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India. Its slogan " Live Your Style " perfectly fits its bill. Although powered by the same four-stroke 110 cc engine of the Activa 5G and Dio, what sets it apart is its distinct looks and class.
DEALERSHIP AND BUYING EXPERIENCE
Coming to my experience with the scooter, I purchased this scooter from the Honda dealership in Thrissur, Kerala. The buying experience was great with the salesman at the Honda dealership clearly explaining to me all its features, advantages, pricing etc. The main attributes that attracted me were its comfortable riding position and build quality. Coming to price, it cost me about Rs.67,000 for the Drum Brake Variant including Insurance, RTO charges and some extra fittings. I bought the Pearl Spartan Red Variant as it appealed to me the most.
PERFORMANCE, MILEAGE AND OTHER SPECIFICATIONS
Coming to the performance aspect, Powered by Honda's signature 110 cc engine, the Honda Aviator moves like a breeze be it rough roads, highway or traffic, manoeuvring the Honda Aviator is a piece of cake. It is firm in hand, does not stutter even at high speeds and gives you confidence that you are indeed in control of your scooter. I get about 50 km per litre mileage which is satisfactory, The seat height and riding position are very comfortable for long rides But may be a hurdle for short riders. The Under-seat storage capacity is adequate and fuel tank capacity is 6 litres including reserve, a tad more than what its competitors offer.
SERVICING
The scooter should be serviced regularly as per the Service manual which states that 1st Free Service should be within 750-1000 kms or 15-30 days, 2nd Free Service should be within 3500-4000 kms or 105-120 days, 3rd Free service should be within 7500-8000 kms or 225-240 days, and 4th service should be within 11500-12000 kms or 350-365 days. Thereafter every 4000 kms the scooter has to be serviced. The cost per paid service is acceptable and they look into all aspects such as defects, braking, suspension , acceleration etc along with thorough cleaning and oil change One thing to note is that the service have to be booked a day prior for better convenience.
