Within a very short time of launching their two BS6-compliant two-wheelers, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has already dispatched 60,000 units of the Activa 125 BS-VI and the new SP 125 motorcycle.

The Activa 125 BS6 is available in 3 variants (Standard / Alloy / Deluxe), 4 colours (Rebel Red Metallic / Midnight Blue Metallic / Heavy Grey Metallic / Pearl Precious White) with price starting Rs. 67,490 (Ex-showroom Delhi).
On the other hand, the Honda SP125 BS6 motorcycle has been developed with as many as 19 new patents and is powered by a new 125cc HET engine that promises to deliver 16% more mileage.
