Re: New Honda Aviator image leaked IMO The design looks confused and lacks appeal whatsoever. The upper half is extremely feminine and the lower doesn't seem to relate much to it, don't think ladies will be really happy riding that bike-like thing. The mindset might change, but it will take its own sweet time, may be long enough for the product to die. I don't see them choosing this over activas and wegos and rays in the near future.
Or is it for the guys ?? The office goers and college dudes ?? Well, personally I would go for a proper bike. In case comfort was the top priority, a scooter it will be, i have ridden my brother's Aviator a number of times and i think its the best scoot for guys at the moment.
It looks like a clear case of function over form. This might combine the best of both bikes and scoots, but the positioning will be tricky. Curious to see what Honda's marketing team comes up with.
Also, purely based on personal experience and observation, I feel a lot of scooters go into the families where they're used by multiple members. For example - a man choosing a scoot over a bike so that it can be used, as and when required, by his wife or an old father, just for its usability and comfort. I am hoping this product may suit such households. |
