The TVS Jupiter offers you more at a lower price compared to segment king Activa, you get 12" Alloy wheels, telescopic suspension at front, external fuel fill, eco and power mode and now offers SBT Synchronised Breaking Technology.
Activa should have offered these features way back but they still offer same things to people, they jus bring new color schemes and few changes in front and rear looks. Being the segment leader Honda should offer features to buyers.
CBS in Honda and SBT in your Jupi are one and the same. The technology was ever first from Honda. I am not boasting since I own a Honda, but it is the truth. Now this technology has started being used in all makers, TVS, Suzuki, etc, in different names, but it is good for efficient braking.
No bike in India is 100% perfect. I love my Activa for its most refined engine, however compromise on the ride quality thanks to inferior old school front suspention, whereas Jupi gets telescopic ones in front. Also smaller wheels (10 inch) in Activa makes the ride quality inferior compared to the one offered by the 12 inch wheel in Jupi.
Comfort wise, I have to open the under-seat every time I fill, whereas you don't have to.
But I can vouch, Activa's engine is more refined and smoother than Jupi's

, sorry to say, but that's the fact. I preferred engine more to ride quality owing to our very minimal and very short distance usage in average road conditions, at speeds ranging between 30-35 kmph (kids' school commutes, weekend veg market trips, other errands).
Jupiter, all time, is a great rider and expect it to give a healthy mileage of around 52 kmpl after your services, and on a very smooth ride, especially single handed driving.
Happy and Safe Miles.

Observations after 1500 km
Pros :
The scooter is perfect for city driving conditions, the power is more than adequate and you never feel like it is underpowered in City conditions.
It reaches 50 kmph speed in no time and you can cruise comfortably around 50 - 55 kmph speeds.
No Engine Vibrations : You don't feel vibration even at the speeds of 65. Engine is very refined just like the one in Activa.
Comfort : Jupiter is indeed a comfortable scooter to drive compared to other Scooters but you will not get the comfort of Bikes.
Kitna deti hai : This is the thing which everyone considers with Scooters as we expect performance as well as mileage. But very few people know that Power and Economy are Inversely proportional to each other.
If one is more, the other will be less.
I get around 46 kmpl in City riding. Most of the rides are Solo and driven by me only. I don't follow thankful method. When I refill there will be
around 100ml fuel left. Initially I got around 40kmpl which gradually increased.
Cons
Power : Jupiter churns out 7.8 BHP while activa produces something around 8 BHP. It is not underpowered but takes its time to get there,its a matter of seconds.
Top Speed : I tested its top speed and it reached 75 kmph though it had some juice left in it but no worries as that is not the speed the bike will be running.
Correction : Activa power 8.4 BHP...

Is regn over , if not I can comment a tip .
Please do Vishnu. Even I am shocked. Even I have two vehicles, but am unsure why this person has been billed 2800.00 extra for his second vehicle.
My Santro 2013 and Victor 2016 are in my name and I don't remember paying anything extra for registering second vehicle in my name, in the same RTO Poonamallee (Chennai).
Your valuable information would be very useful for every reader here.
