Honda MiniMOTO Buyer's Guide: Grom, Monkey, Navi, Super Cub, Trail 125 Comparison

[@poeter14]

I own a Navi and it is great. Yes, it is slow, yes it is automatic, is basically a scooter. It is perfect for a busy city. Very fun. And for daily commuting it is perfect.

[@bellissimabombshell]

considering you have to get a whole other motorcycle license and tag…definitely not a scooter lol but nice to know you love it! me and my fiancé are getting the navis as a way cheaper but fun option to get around.

[@Beastiedad]

Would you recommend for somebody that want to use to go and back to work two days out the week? 26 miles each way? Going to be suburban drive in Houston Traffic.

Once I discovered it had a 125cc motor I was sold. Getting up in age so this bike is the perfect fit for me. Leave it to Honda to bring back a true classic even better. 🫡

Nice review! Sadly, American Honda kinda butchered the Supercub. And only one color for 2023. The international version comes with a cargo rack, or passenger seat and pegs, side stand, nicer lights, color choices. The good news is, all these can be fixed with aftermarket (or even original parts from a different market) but it will cost several hundred extra.

[@trublaze]

The no passenger seat is an American regulatory thing

[@timscott3027]

That colour is quite nice, we have Matt grey and red seats and the pillion seat looks horrible. I don't know why they didn't just put a proper bench seat on it.

I know the 125cc engine is indestructible and has iconic status, but if it was a 150 and the wheels were 14'' or 15'' instead of 12'', I'd have a Monkey. As things stand, of these, I'd go for the CT125 but get a manual clutch fitted and the engine bored out to 150cc. Good video.

[@lostintheclouds8719]

I’m a new rider and when i first saw the navi, it was last year. It inspired me to learn how to ride and i did at MSF. I learned on a Grom and passed October 2022. After much research, i narrowed it down to 3 choices: Svartpilen 401, xg 500, and Navi. I bought the Navi and I’m glad I did b/c it’s very similar to the Grom and it was the weight I am most comfortable with. Update: bought a grom - found a deal I couldn’t pass up. Now I realized I don’t need two bikes. I prefer to actually just keep the one that I know the most about which is the navi. I’m going to sell the grom and I’ll be able to make a profit on it because of what it came with when I bought it. Instead, I am going to go for a Can-Am.

Navi is a great work bike, I put my hard hat, lunch and uniform in the storage case. Have a givi trunk on back to hold helmet, ride 42 miles a day on country back roads at 50mph. I was shopping for used elites and helix but clean 20 year old samples were more expensive than brand new navi and under-seat storage was similar size as navi trunk. Value is great, and I prefer the normal moto frame with tank between legs vs scooter step through. Not fast but I don’t ride bikes for speed, feels adequate for daily commute.

[@Blueishcollar]

Own a trail, it will do 55+ with a 280lb rider. Originally i could only get it to do about 51, but after 150 miles with a lot of travel of 50-55 mph roads, with wind at your back, I did see it blipping between 55-56 mph. Granted, geography is an advantage. Florida on a 60 degree day after 10 miles of warming it up. However i was on flat road and wind was in my favor. Love it!

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

I noticed mine felt a little better in the 50s after it had 1000 miles on it also.

[@5ch3nk]

Lately I've been really thinking about getting a small bike, and I love the look of these Hondas. Especially The Trail and The Monkey. Something small and cheap like this would be perfect for me to get around from Spring-Autumn...would be a hell of a lot cheaper than dumping money into my Mini Cooper I want to sell (car market still sucks, and I'm poor). I'm honestly afraid though, as I lost my friend at age 26 in a moto accident. I know something smaller like this wouldn't be intense. I've been into road cycling for a while and going downhill you hit speeds up to 40-50mph, it would probably be safer than that honestly....It's just I feel if my friend got in an accident then I probably will at some point. He was going WAY too fast and it happened around a bend in the road, so there's ways he could have prevented it. But growing up he was that friend who basically taught me everything, including how to ride his dirt bikes.

I want a Trail 125 but with the Monkey fat tires! I need a camp/koa vehicle. The Monkey is Street legal?

[@DailyMotor]

Yeah, but just find yourself a Yamaha TW200

[@calgreco8607]

@@DailyMotor Yes! I was blown away when I saw that! Definitely better!

[@TyeWills]

Kymco Spade 150 is my pick for a mini.

[@danielnelson8304]

How readily available are these in California? Cool vid thanks for doing it.

[@domenik8339]

Short answer, no, long answer, when hell freezes over. If you're lucky, and this is seriously only in the last 2-3 months, you might be able to catch a shipment of 4 or so navis to a local dealer. They'll be out the door within next 2 months, typically. But any of these other bikes, good luck. The grom's you can find used fairly easily, but they hold their value insanely well. The trail 125s are practically reserved for press only, and I've never seen a monkey, in person, ever. I would guess they take 3+ years of being on a waitlist to get one.

[@SummerEaze]

Saw a yellow Monkey today in LA 😩 fell in love again. I hope local dealerships will have plenty by the time I get one.

[@Merc399]

Id say go DRZ400SM or if youre tiny go KLX300SM for youre first bike.

[@jjay350]

Yeah DRZ400SM was my first bike, loved it, so capable. More of a all-rounder, these are more of a toy by comparison but I love em for that.

[@flatcapcaferacer]

Nicely done!

[@haveanicedave]

I want to see how the 6th honda XR125-L matches up in this lineup~!

[@egyptainkingcito4408]

Thinking of getting the Navi was wondering can my feet be flat on the ground while at a red light being 5’7

[@DailyMotor]

Yes

[@stonerzz1]

Something you have to keep in mind about these mini motos is that in America we look for high horsepower and things that zip around in a lot of other countries they're looking for something cheap that's reliable that just get you to and from work and get you around town with gas prices being 4 5 $10 a gallon some places getting 100 miles a gallon and driving these the work is a much better idea my 96 Bronco for example with a 351 Windsor get 8 Mi to the gallon performance parts are added it's not a pretty vehicle it's made for going off-road in the mountains got a 2010 Ford Focus gets 30 Mi to the gallon if I drive it like a normal person grom gets about 120 what vehicle do I drive to work I recently rolled over 10,000 miles in my Grom a 2015 I've done a little tweet stupid beefed it up a little bit in 2022 I picked up another one didn't sell my other one that one's I'm I'm going to put a 300 I picked up a cbr300 that's somebody wrecked that runs fine it just stalled then tub picked it up for 600 bucks they are awesome for a daily commuter and racing from stoplight to stoplight without going to jail having a blast they're just nice bikes

[@hongkonghello3490]

Which one is the most easily to handling for a newbie? The super cub?

[@carlrutledge3096]

The Navi because it has no gears to shift is easiest to ride, but the super cub is also easy because there is no clutch.

[@lord.onk99]

Enjoyed, thanks

[@garasiaddin]

awesome mini bikes, no honda dax?

[@frydemwingz]

what dealership are you at? Or whatever it is?

[@DailyMotor]

Honda HQ

[@origadeboar8528]

you should try the honda rsx.

[@GKB.official]

I had a rider with me on the original 50cc monkey 🤣 20 miles.

[@sylversyrfer6894]

One of each please! 😊

[@fomoerectus4248]

It is more like 3 grand out the door for a NAVI - not 2 grand at the dealership - after the HONDA MARK UP!!!

[@jubei6802]

No Dax? Or it's not in the US?

[@vermontjeff2535]

Great video, thanks

[@martinyuen3466]

Monkey was my favorite

[@alannavarro5421]

Is the NAVI good for a daily drive to work?

[@user-pq4by2rq9y]

Yes if you don't mind it being slow.

[@Keyboard_warri0or]

Same I live like 20 minutes away from work

[@domenik8339]

Yes, that's exactly what I use it for most days. The storage box takes my lunch box, with tons of room to spare. Plan to use it as a future mini adventure bike.
