The Pune-based journalist, Vishal Joshi has turned his Activa into a retro-styled Honda Scoopy. So, what’s different in this classic-retro Honda Activa? Well, a lot of things. Based on the first-generation Activa, the modified version features a large circular headlamp instead of the standard unit.

Just behind the headlight, you will notice the 80s-inspired analogue dials displaying the speedometer and the fuel gauge. The dial-placed on the right also shows a trip meter and the odometer. While all the lights and turn indicator controls are accessible on the left side of the handlebar, the right side has the self-start button.

The blinkers are also placed into the handlebar. The customised Honda Activa features round rear view mirrors that add more to its retro looks. It has the single-tone body-panel under the seat and saddle in a tan-leather cover and white stitching.
No changes have been made to its engine. The retro-styled Honda Activa features the same 109.2cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine paired to a V-Match automatic transmission. This motor makes a top power of 8bhp at 7,500rpm and 8.74Nm of torque at 5,500rpm. Pictures – Meet the Modified Suzuki Swift ZERCON
