2022 Honda NAVI // Scooter Motocamping // Hammock Camping in a Thunderstorm

[@barnabusthomas1010]

I really enjoyed this video!! I know you said it's a pain to make them while camping but it was well worth it!! It was alot of fun to watch!!!

I'v been doing camping trips on my Kymco Agility 125. The Navi seems like a good bike. I want to get the Ranger green one. Keep rolling Quasi, you inspire us all !!!

[@kibkaos]

Great video. The very definition of Moto-Camping!

[@TheOuterLimitsAP]

I'm getting a Navi next week and this video made me even more excited!

[@groundskeeper5292]

Navi did ok in the rain at night. Good job taking it out in that. Just sold my Dr 200 yesterday, going to look at a navi today. Maybe I'll get it. Have fun on yours!

[@MrDyna883]

Hi Quasi, another fantastic flog mate, all the best for 2022

[@thebigfellar7178]

I laughed my ass off from the store to lost in camp. I mean funny , rewinder , wife laughed harder than I did. When you've worn the same exact shoes , in almost Identical circumstances , it sure makes it easier to see the humor in it. I've been there so many times . Good thing you found out about the headlight though. Be getting that fixed . And a pair of frog toggs jacket and pants would live in the storage box . I had a pack on mine lived strapped to the backrest. IN it were fire steel , flashlights , batteries ,hammock tarp and MRE's x2 and a wool blanket and sheet. And no one ever messed with the bag. I'm an old hillbilly-Injun-Irish-Scottish-Polish = survivalist (type) . Had something come into our camp , out of the 12 people who were there 0% will talk about it or acknowledge anything. None camp anymore . We never go to parks , we find spots and just camp. I liked ,subbed ,and notified. I bet you're a hoot when drinking. Peace.

I loved this. I'm looking into sports-car supported hammock camping, and legit curious about the Navi. Cheers!

it's my experience that everyone who sees a navi for the first time wants one lol

THE Quasi does it again with a super entertaining video.

[@raffitchakmakjian]

moved from Nevada to The Woodlands late 2021. We didn't know a thing about the greater Houston area, I literally googled where to live and The Woodlands seemed like a safe bet. We were initially set on Katy and in hindsight, I wish we had moved there instead. Can't afford to buy in The Woodlands now, and we weren't ready when we got here a couple of years ago. You're living my dream, lol. Love the vids.

51:53 🤣 - Honda NAVI Headlight and tires sucks. After that is an excelent motorbike for relaxing and fun to drive. USA Version is a bit better built compared to LATAM version. But overall i am happy with my NAVI too. Since i bought my NAVI i havent taken a public transport again. Safe Ride sir. ✌️😎

[@AZtoNC]

Nice video, I picked up the 22 trail 125. I want the 150 XL now. I have no idea but your area reminds me of when we’d go to Waxahachie TX to the big C10 show, be safe

24:10 people always ask me why we have multiple Go-Pros/camera gear,one is enough to record stuff and this is why. Its always good to have 2 or more cams recording as backup in case any other cams fail and for B-Roll.

pretty cool to see this since i'm in houston too and interested in the navi, glad to see that it should be okay (fast enough) for our streets! was worried about that

im going to be getting one soon, going to be doing some doordash on it to help pay it off + college.

Really makes me want to go camping when I get my navi. I don't suppose I could fit a fishing pole in the under storage compartment? Haha.

You can probably fit one of the compact folding kits in the storage box. I have a small kit that I will test fit for you... stay tuned! 😉👍 --QM

I wanna see an exhaust change on a navi because I’m ready to buy one but that exhaust is holding me back

[@nephilymbass1]

Have to see it up close to tell what kind of knot you’re using. I doubt it’s a single half hitch. Two half hitch is very common for camping scenarios . Taughtline hitch is very similar and holds a little better than a two half hitch. Recommend running by your local Boy Scout store. The Boy Scout handbook has some basic knots for camping. There are some I learned as a boy scout like the square knot which I actually still use in surgery. Taughtline hitch is my favorite when camping. If you tie it correctly it holds well and slides when you want it to.

Dope video! How u liking the Navi still?

[@QuasiMotard]

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I still enjoy the Navi, but it's been sitting idle in my warehouse for several months. Most of the riding and commuting that I do on two wheels isn't convenient for the Navi due to its limited top speeds and relatively poor fuel economy compared to my other bikes. It's a great urban run-around tool, though... great fun to hop on and take relaxed rides... no shifting, just twist-and-go. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@random40s]

Interesting video. The Navi seems nice, but I'd probably opt for a Grom for camping with tho.

[@tonymontana09210]

Good idea-get off the cold and wet ground. I plan to get a scooter or minimoto next year and takke up camping and travelling throughout Quebec. Outside of Montreal, Quebec City, Montebello, and Chicoutimi-I have not been. I love the Honda minimotos; Monkey, Navi, Super Cub, Grom, but damn their scooters are so ugly I fear getting a citation if I rode one! I will go Piaggio if I get a scooter.

I agree, the headlight is just dreadful on this bike. Surprised Honda didn't go LED for the US version. Cool video!

Are you gonna ride that Navi to where I live the Missouri ozarks ?

[@QuasiMotard]

Howdy, Gary! I don't know if I'll ride the Navi all the way up to MO, but it might happen later in the fall or early next spring. The Navi's top speed of 50-ish MPH is a bit limiting for longer road trips. The short fuel range also makes the logisitcs very interesting on rural highways where fuel stations can frequently be 80+ miles apart. I'll figure out a fuel cell solution or carry a Rotopax container for my longer scooter tours. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@ExpendableOne23]

When I saw the neighborhood I instantly thought "that's Katy". Howdy neighbor! Been thinking of getting a navi or grom from Honda off 290.

[@QuasiMotard]

Howdy, neighbor! Both of those are fantastic little bikes. The Grom is certainly more capable and more efficient, but it's nearly double the price of the Navi. The Navi is a fun run around scoot for city riding and short commutes... it just doesn't have the speed, efficiency, or range for longer commutes or road trips. So, their different capabilities just require different expectations. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

But need my own ride . With your help Navi is my choice , Thanks was looking at Royal Infield for travel outside of the city but been told with curvy mountain roads and rock n mudslides 50 mile a hour is safest . Know i'll miss the power of the bikes I rode up north but will buy a van to haul it any distance . 2024 Navi $24,00 but scooting through traffic PRICELESS ! Very few traffic rules here . Test drove one today It's slow enough to keep me out of trouble . Ha !

I just got honda navi drove 8 miles to Stillwater oklahoma to get mine. I watched one of your first videos and you mentioned the mis alignment of the front headlight housing. I have a cap on the right side. My question is how did you fix cap issues seems like j can just press down but don't want to break any clips. Did you remove the housing and realigned?

[@QuasiMotard]

Congrats on your new NAVI! I haven't torn into my headlight housing yet because I wanted to do the LED and DC conversion at the same time. I assume that there is a plastic clip toward the lower edge (closest to handlebars) under that top bezel that just isn't seated properly. I've been swamped with work for the past few days, so I haven't had time to work on the NAVI projects yet. If you're interested, you can jump onto my Discord server where some other owners have been posting pics of their mods: discord.gg/Ba4BwQSMRc . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@ciaoitalo]

I'm interested in wiring stuff to my battery too. I figure, as long as I have a kick starter, who cares if it drains my battery? Have you had any issues with your battery and the kick starter not working?

[@QuasiMotard]

No problems kickstarting the Navi yet, but I haven't tried with the battery disconnected or totally flat. I presume that it will start normally after a few kicks. 😉👍 --QM

[@ciaoitalo]

@@QuasiMotard i just brought mine home yesterday and realized i had the key on the whole 3 hours of trailering home. My first start was the kick on a dead battery, definitely useful! hahaha

[@jonny6758]

Would this be better then the honda ruckus just thoughts on im deciding between this and ruckus , ruckus is about same price and people said they hard trouble starting ruckus because way carb is if it sits for a lil bit idk fuel injected or what it is but just some thoughts thanks

[@QuasiMotard]

I think the Navi is more practical than the Ruckus because of the larger engine (110cc for the Navi vs. 50cc for the Ruckus). It's hard to make a real-world use case for 50cc scooters in any major US city because of the road speeds. The 50cc scoots can barely get up to speed and avoid being flattened by aggressive cagers. You can expect to reach a top speed of 35-40 mph from the Ruckus, where the Navi can reach 50-53 mph and get there much faster than the Ruckus could ever hope to achieve. The Navi doesn't have the same cult following and aftermarket accessories as the Ruckus, but the community is steadily growing. There are plenty of upgrades available for both scoots, but I DON'T recommend installing go-fast parts on them in attempts to make them something they aren't. They are slow, relatively cheap machines, and people waste serious $$$ trying to make them faster. That's a waste of time and money... just buy a bigger/faster bike if that's what you need. Both scoots are carbureted, so you need to be mindful about letting them sit too long with ethanol fuel in the tank or carburetor. 3-4 weeks can mean life or death to the tiny little jets in these carburetors... they clog very easily from fuel deposits that ethanol generates. Good luck shopping, and I hope you find a good fit! 😉👍 --QM

[@jonny6758]

@QuasiMotard also I watched the one vid of you on navi kinda sliding lil in rain would you reccomend maybe upgrading to a knobby style for the navi would that help a little you think

[@handicamper101]

Great video. seems like i have been binge watching your Honda videos. ive been thinking about getting the navi or the trail. any other suggestions on other automatic bikes? love your ride/recording setup. can hear and see everything perfect

[@QuasiMotard]

Thanks for watching and leaving feedback! If you're shopping automatic (twist-and-go) bikes and scoots, then you might want to also look at the Honda PCX150/160 or the ADV150. Those are great scooters that are very efficient, and they can do anything or go just about anywhere you'd like! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@DirtRider22a]

Have you checked tire pressure and also oil level to make sure it isn’t slightly over filled? As far as tires, I enjoyed the Michelin s83 on my Honda Z50 but not sure if they have the sizes you need

[@QuasiMotard]

Yep, I verified both of those... 22/36 PSI (front/rear) and the oil is dead center on the stick. I'm not being nice to it with my 45 MPH cruising speeds, but I hoped it would get closer to 100 MPG. All of my other scoots can get that. The little Yamaha C3 does 107 MPG at wide-open throttle. My Super Cub and the PCX150's will return about 125-130 MPG at those same speeds. I'm shopping around for some decent tires. I'd like to find some Michelin City Grips, but I might do a set of Pirelli or Metzler tires if I can find them in the right sizes. 😉👍 --QM

[@DirtRider22a]

Thanks for the feedback! Insurance will vary depending on your driving record and if you can get multi-vehicle discounts.
