LAST HOPE

Yes, you might have raised an eyebrow or two after reading the title, puzzled about how the highest selling scooter in the country could be a last hope. Well, to be frank, regardless of what I, any other journalists or you, the reader, feel or think about the new Honda Activa 6G, it is a product that is just going to sell by itself. Period. It probably isn’t the best scooter out there, but it is the choice of the masses by huge leaps and bounds. To gain this level of trust is an absolute achievement and I completely respect it. But then again, there comes the part where it’s a manufacturer’s responsibility to make a successful product better by making it more robust, durable, efficient and feature-packed. Yes, the Activa 6G has definitely gained some positives, but also lost some in the course of its evolution.

HISTORY CHANNEL

When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
