Honda has started retail sales of their BS6 product portfolio in India with the Activa 125 & SP 125 mass market two-wheelers and both of them fall in the 125cc category. The brand reveals that they have clocked over 60,000 unit sales of these BS6 compliant two-wheelers already and that all other products would be upgraded to BS6 ahead of the deadline.
Thanks to the features such as ACG starter motor and Enhanced Smart Power eSP; the new BS6 products are much quieter to operate. The ACG motor helps in a fast, quiet and jerk free start which enhances the riding experience. Also, apart from the BS6 engines, the significant add on is the 6-year warranty package which is an industry first. The sales milestone is key to Honda as they have not even started nationwide distribution of these BS6 products.

Other features include side stand indicator and side stand engine cut off. The scooter comes with a digital + analogue speedo cluster, dual function key switch, front glove box, idle stop system, etc. Prices for the Honda Activa 125 start from INR 67,490.
