The 190mm disc offers great bite. ∆ and 10.54Nm of torque at 5,000rpm (0.34Nm more than the Suzuki). These are healthy, if not competitive, figures for a scooter that weighs 107kg (kerb weight of the top variant; the Access weighs 102kg) and it clearly shows in its performance. With a 90kg+ rider on-board, the Grazia accelerates without a hiccup or any visible sign of stress, something that remains

The efficiency-conscious riders can also benefit from the three-step eco speed indicator which rests on top of the instrument cluster. This is, essentially, a wheel-speed

It lights up all three bars at full efficiency, and the bars recede as you get faster, going off completely once you’re past 50kph. Naturally, Honda cannot detach itself from efficiency and, to be fair, it will only result in making the Grazia more inclusive of efficiency-
