What Can You Get In Place Of The Rs 15 Lakh Honda Activa?

A Chandigarh advertising agency owner, Brij Mohan, recently bought a Rs 15.4 lakh worth special number plate at an auction held by the Chandigarh Registering and Licensing Authority to generate revenue. The interesting bit, however, is that Mohan will be using the number plate on a Honda Activa Scooter for the time being, which increases the value of the scooter to over Rs 15 lakh.

Now we all can’t or wouldn’t want to buy a Honda Activa worth Rs 15 lakh, but for that price you can buy these incredible two-wheelers available in the Indian market.
