Used Honda Aviator guide: mileage, specs, checks and what to inspect.
Honda Aviator Price: Mileage, Colours & Buying Guide
Honda Aviator price, mileage and colours are what most buyers check first, so here they are up front.
The last ex-showroom price was roughly ₹58,600 to ₹63,000. Real-world mileage sits near 50 kmpl against a claimed 60. It came in four colours: white, red, silver and black. A used Honda Aviator is still worth buying, but only a clean one, and only if you pay for condition rather than looks.
Honda stopped selling the Aviator around April 2020, ahead of the BS6 switch, so there is no new Aviator price to quote today. Every one on the road is second-hand, and its price depends on age, kilometres and condition. People search for it as an "aviator bike" or "aviator scooty", but it is a 109 cc automatic scooter, and a good one for city riding.
That shapes how you shop. There is no showroom to fall back on, so the inspection does the work.
Quick verdict
- Easy to ride: the 790 mm seat height, 12-inch front wheel and automatic drive suit new riders and short riders alike.
- Fuel-friendly: Honda claimed 60 kmpl. Owners report around 50 kmpl.
- Simple to maintain: the 109 cc Honda engine is well understood by most workshops.
- Watch for: a worn CVT belt, tired fork seals, and thin pillion cushioning.
- Not for you if your commute is mostly fast highway.
New vs pre-owned: what you are really choosing?
A new scooter is no longer an Aviator. The real choice is between a used Aviator and a brand-new 110 cc scooter in the same class.
Factor | Used Honda Aviator | New 110 cc scooter today |
| Upfront cost | Lower, since the steepest depreciation is already behind it | Higher |
| Depreciation from here | Slow and gentle | Steepest in the first two to three years |
| Emission norm | Pre-BS6 | BS6 |
| Warranty | Only if the seller offers one | Manufacturer warranty |
| Condition risk | Depends on the unit, so inspect it | Low |
| Features | Telescopic front suspension; LED headlamp on 2018-onward units | Newer features as standard |
The last ex-showroom price was roughly ₹58,600 to ₹63,000. Use it as a ceiling, not a target. A used Aviator should cost well below it, and by how much depends on age, kilometres and condition.

Honda Aviator mileage: claimed vs real
Honda claimed 60 kmpl. Treat that as a lab number from ideal conditions.
Owner reports average near 50 kmpl, with individual figures starting around 40 kmpl. That is a respectable Aviator scooter mileage for a 109 cc automatic. In stop-start city traffic, expect the lower half of that range. On a steady, open road at moderate speed, expect the upper half.
Two things move the number more than the model does: a worn drive belt and a dirty air filter. A scooter that returns 38 kmpl is telling you something. Ask for its service history before you ask for a discount.
Colours and variants
The later range was sold in four shades: Pearl Amazing White, Pearl Spartan Red, Matte Selene Silver Metallic and Pearl Igneous Black.
There were three variants: the standard Drum (steel wheels), Drum Alloy (adds alloy wheels), and Disc Alloy (adds a 190 mm front disc brake). All variants share the 12-inch front and 10-inch rear wheel setup. Alloy wheels and the front disc make the scooter look sportier and stop better, while steel wheels are cheaper to replace if damaged.
How has the Aviator changed over the years?
- 2008: launched in Standard and Deluxe variants featuring a 102 cc engine as a stylish, youth-focused automatic
- October 2009: updated to the 109 cc Honda engine with Combined Braking System (CBS).
- July 2018: an LED headlamp and position lamp, a revised instrument console, and a 4-in-1 lock with a seat-opener switch.
- April 2020: removed from Honda's India lineup as BS6 norms arrived.
In practice, a 2018-onward unit gives you the LED lighting and the seat-opener lock. An earlier unit costs less and does the same job. Neither choice is wrong. Pick by condition first and year second.
Strengths and trade-offs
What works | What costs you |
| Stable, confident handling from the larger front wheel and telescopic fork | Top-end pull is modest. At 8 bhp, it runs out of breath on fast highways |
| Punchy in the mid-range for overtaking in town | Pillion cushioning is thin on long rides |
| Familiar Honda engine that most workshops can service | Pre-BS6 emissions, so check your city's rules |
| Low seat and automatic drive make it easy to learn | Discontinued, so some model-specific panels need hunting |
The Aviator's stability is its strongest card. Newer scooters beat it on features. Decide which matters more on your daily ride.
Pre-purchase inspection checklist
The Aviator is an automatic, so the usual gear, clutch and chain checks do not apply. These do.
Paperwork first
- RC. The chassis and engine numbers must match the scooter. Not roughly. Exactly.
- Service records. Regular belt, oil and brake-shoe entries beat a low odometer reading.
- NOC. If the scooter was registered in another state, confirm the NOC and transfer status.
- Insurance and PUC. Both should be valid, and insurance should be in the seller's name.
Then the physical check
- Engine casing. Look for oil seepage around the gaskets and the CVT cover.
- Drive belt and variator. Ask the workshop to open the CVT cover. Cracks in the belt or flat spots on the rollers mean a repair bill is coming.
- Front fork. Oil on the stanchions means tired seals.
- Frame and panels. Check for a bent frame, uneven panel gaps and re-welded mounts. These point to a past fall.
- Tyres and brakes. Check tread, cracks and drum or disc wear.
- Electricals. Test the headlamp, indicators, horn, and the seat-opener lock on 2018-onward units.
Then ride it
- Start it cold. It should fire on the electric start within a couple of attempts. A scooter that only starts warm is hiding something.
- Pull away from a stop. Smooth means a healthy belt. Juddering or slipping means a worn belt or clutch assembly.
- Brake from speed. Combined braking should pull it up straight, with no pulsing or pull to one side.
- Let the bars go light on deceleration. Handlebar wobble points to worn head bearings or a bent fork.
- Listen over bumps. Clunks mean worn suspension bushes.
A scooter priced well below the rest usually has a reason. Find out what it is before you negotiate.
Maintenance and running costs
Running costs are low, and most of the money goes to a short list of wear parts: the CVT drive belt, variator rollers, brake shoes or pads, tyres, battery, air filter and spark plug. The engine takes about 0.8 litres of oil, so oil changes are cheap.
Follow the service interval in the owner's manual and ask for the stamped service book. Skipped services show up as a noisy CVT, weak acceleration and falling mileage.
Who should buy a used Honda Aviator?
- Daily office commuters doing short to medium city rides.
- College riders who want an easy automatic with a sporty look.
- First-time scooter owners who like the low seat and light handling.
- City navigators who value stability over top speed.
Skip it if you ride long stretches at highway speed or regularly carry a pillion on long trips.
Resale value and upgrading
Honda's name keeps buyer interest alive, even for a discontinued model. A well-kept Aviator with clean papers and a service book is easier to sell than a tired one. A tired one with missing papers is hard to sell at any price.

- Choose the Disc Alloy if braking matters most.
- It is a city scooter. Do not buy it for highway runs.
Frequently asked questions
1. Is a used Honda Aviator a good buy?
A: Yes, if the belt, brakes and papers check out. It is an easy, stable city scooter. A neglected one is not.
2. Is the Aviator scooty still made?
A: No. Honda removed it from its India lineup around April 2020. Every Aviator scooty you find now is used.
3. Is the Aviator a bike or a scooter?
A: A scooter. People search "aviator bike", but it has an automatic CVT with no gears or clutch lever.
4. What is the Honda Aviator mileage?
A: Honda claimed 60 kmpl. Owners report around 50 kmpl, and the figure drops in heavy traffic or with a worn belt.
5. What is the Aviator price in the used market?
A: It depends on year, kilometres and condition. The last new ex-showroom range was roughly ₹58,600 to ₹63,000, so any used price should sit well below that. Compare several listings before you commit.
6. What was the Honda Aviator on-road price?
A: There is no current on-road price because the scooter is discontinued. Its last ex-showroom range was roughly ₹58,600 to ₹63,000, before registration and insurance.
7. Is the Aviator expensive to maintain?
A: No. The 109 cc engine is simple and workshop-friendly. The biggest bills come from the drive belt, variator and brake service, and those are worth budgeting for.
8. Is the Honda Aviator reliable?
A: The engine is well regarded. Reliability depends on how it was serviced, so look for a stamped service book. A scooter with no records is a gamble.
9. Is it comfortable for long rides and a pillion?
A: For you, yes on short to medium rides. For a pillion, the cushioning is thin. Keep long two-up trips short.
10. Does the Aviator have ABS?
A: No. It has combined braking (CBS), which links front and rear brakes. Choose the Disc Alloy if you want the strongest stopping power.
