You have finally come of age and can get yourself a scooter. Well, the scooter has come of age as well
We’ve all been there, turning 16 and being allowed to (legally) ride a scooter on the streets. There’s no greater purpose to your life than badgering your parents with ridiculous reasons on why you need a scooter when you’ve survived 15 years just fine without one. And there’s no greater joy than the moment they give in to your ridiculous reasons. For years, the go-to scooter for this particular demographic has been the Dio – the boy racer’s wet dream. I mean, have you seen the angles on that thing? Oh, but scoots have moved forward, and how. Everything from design to performance and features have evolved over the last two years, and we’ve got together the best of the lot.
The Honda Grazia is the Dio’s spiritual successor – aggressively styled but remains an Activa under the skin. The Activa 125, this time around. The Aprilia SR125 is a step down from the SR150 – it has the same chassis and design, but a smaller engine and a revised CVT. The TVS Ntorq is TVS Motors’ first attempt at a 125cc scoot after dabbling in smaller capacity ones for years.

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE
Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived.
