I haven't dropped one yet but better taking the chances learning on used ones your not scared to drop lol

[@appalachianenthusiast9499]

The Navi seems like the perfect vehicle for myself. I'm currently in High School, and my commute to work is about 8 minutes for a job that pays $8.50 an hour. With the Navi, I would put $3.79 in once a week and have a pretty low overhead for getting there when accounting for maintenance. The roads on my commute never get above 45, so I'd have no trouble maintaining speed.

[@grenzviel4480]

@@appalachianenthusiast9499 Nice. Just remember you need extra for a helmet, and possibly a decent chain/lock. Because it's light, it would be pretty easy to pick up and steal. It's nice that it comes with a compartment so you can carry a chain all the time. The problem tho is that it exceeds the 50cc limit, which means you need both a car and motorcycle license. From where I live, a car license takes around 100 USD (assuming you don't fail either written or actual driving test) and if you decide to take the MSF, it's another 150 (again, if you don't fail). It's really tough getting into it. You got quite a bit of saving up to do. Good luck, bud. IMHO, it's worth it so far.

This thing is based on the Honda Activa scooter available in India. In 2016-17, I can't exactly remember, when were shifting from bs3 to bs4 pollution norms, dealers with huge stocks had very little time to sell them off within the stipulated time. So these Honda Navi were given free on the purchase of every Honda CBR 250 back then!

[@brucegraner5901]

Even though I don't own a bike I've always been intrigued by the Honda From and now the Navi. Probably too small for me but I've also been looking at E-bikes. I wonder how these would compare to the Talaria Sting R or the Sauron?

[@RockandrollNegro]

"Intimidation and learning factor" of becoming a bike rider. Non-bikers probably don't know how to shift gears or brake with the hand. The average bike now is too heavy to be picked up by one person if it goes down. The Honda C90 had a semiautomatic transmission and weighed less than 200lbs, and it was the best selling vehicle of all time because anyone with four limbs could get on it and safely operate it within seconds, and we need more bikes like this. Conventional wisdom in America since 1975 is that bikes that can't do 70mph on the interstate have no market, because people that want something for cities and towns will just get a moped. Yet we see with the Grom and the flood of 125cc Chinese bikes that there is a huge untapped market in the US that doesn't want a 450-1400cc twin.

I now live 5 miles from what is left of Centralia, I remember as a child riding through Centralia with my parents on the way to visit my grandparents in nearby Ringtown. Remember when Centralia was a vibrant town with a motorcycle shop in the middle of town.

[@honkerman74]

Essence of motorcycle. I’m guessing these are the two first Navi’s that came in at Lancaster Honda. I sat on one and observed that yeah, they’re cheap, but they are the perfect tool for basic commuting. Sure, it’s an underbone design with a CVT, but if you take it for what it is: a tool rather than a toy, it works. It won’t win any races or beauty pageants, but at the 1800 price point, it may just get more people on two wheels, which is a good thing. So yeah, btw, if one of the seats smelled slightly of old farts, that would have been me. Not sorry.

[@joshdudash1418]

With that spacious storage compartment, and no expectation of highway speeds for this bike, I believe Honda will release an electric version if this version sells well.

[@debajyotisrc]

The Navi was developed for Indian market and was based on Honda Activa scooter which shares it's chassis, engine, brakes, exhaust and suspension setup. Tail light is derived from Honda stunner. Blinkers from shine/unicorn. Honda in India uses same mirror for all the scooters and commuter bikes. But sadly there were not many takers (cuz it's basically a scooter with front filling tank and was not convincing, people preferred the Activa more) and it got pulled off the market.

[@41BeachComber]

Very fun video. You two seem to have fun working together and riding too.

[@xpndblhero5170]

I love the idea of this, I can see this being a Fantastic starter bike but people are buying 2 and 3 or more at a time then selling them for more so they're hard to get... I'd like a Grom but they're way too expensive for what you get, then you have to do a bunch of mods to make it worth it but these Navis are kind of cool. I'm a huge fan of electric bikes for beginners and I feel like they should make a small cheap bike like a Grom but w/ a high powered electric motor that can be upgraded whenever the rider wants more power... Some of the electric hub motors can be upgraded in multiple ways so I could see an electric Grom/Navi being a great starter bike but also after a few upgrades it could be SUPER fast and awesome for a small stunt bike. Also if you don't want one of those Navis, I'd be willing to buy it off you.... I don't live too far from Silent Hill, I mean Centralia. 😁😂

[@srikarunvinith4073]

I saw this in 2017, in India, most of the parts of this bike are from a Honda scooter called Activa.

[@MyMotorcycleBlog]

I saw the Amish buggy at SRK and wondered when it would appear in a video. Back to the Navi, if this bike gets more people into riding, the better. I'm happy Honda brought it out.

[@mailmeabhilash]

It's made in India, been here for a couple of years now. They have used the similar engine to that of Honda Activa (scooter). It's a fun little bike to get groceries. Lot of people here use it for that purpose. It's so fun to ride, the acceleration is not what you expect for the size

[@randomDaved]

I love the inexpensive bike idea, like this and the Grom and similar small bikes. Especially with our current oil and gas prices. I just wish more of the platforms supported tall riders. I'm 6'7" and I almost bought a Grom, and still want a small displacement bike, but these little guys just don't have the size and power for someone my size to get around town while still keeping 40-50mph speed limits. :( Normal height people get all the fun.

[@anesthetized7053]

get a tw200, they are a little more expensive but work well for taller riders especially with a seat riser. great little dualsport bike that will go 70 easy if you go for a bigger rear gear. i loved mine but sadly it got stolen

[@randomDaved]

I'm enjoying the suggestions. The one I've recently been looking at for a small commuter is the KTM Duke 200. But I'm going to check out some of these other ones.

[@siraff4461]

I'm only 5'9 but 21 stone and my Grom (MSX) does just fine. Try one out if you haven't already. Its not much good once you need to go fast but upto about 40 its decent enough and 50 is fine in all but the steepest of hills. After that you're going to need some luck and usually a tail wind but its also one of the most fun bikes you can ride around town. My 'busa never comes out for short or low speed rides anymore.

[@randomDaved]

@@siraff4461 many of the speed limits near me are 45 - 55 on back roads and that's a good variety of hills. I'm worried a Grom will struggle to get my 220lb tall frame up quick enough to not get run over by a minivan, or a pissed off teen in a jacked up diesel pickup. I love the look and idea of the Grom though. That's what renewed my riding interest.

[@locodiablo8130]

I'm looking for a cheap get around town scooter for use at my summer place on Cape Cod.... This looks Great for the price, AND there are actually a few locally available, compared to the Cub (none to be found near me) $2k cheaper than a Cub.. I currently have 2 Harley's in my garage... This would be strictly for beach area use.

[@derek17005]

I see several buyers for this: The first time riders, those of us that have big, heavy bikes and just want to get out quickly and ride a handful of miles, and those who need the gas mileage. Heck, at $1,800, it's cheaper than most scooters nowadays too.
