I bought a Honda Navi, then sold it immediately. (2022 Honda Navi Review)

[@EVITTS570]

as someone who lost function in his left leg but still looking to get into motorcycling, this bike is a dream come true...stoked to pick one up

[@nemanjatosovic]

It’s a good little bike. PS Honda sells a few full size bikes with their dct fully automatic transmission. NC700/750 New rebel 1100 Africa Twin Gold wing All have fully auto transmissions. There’s also plenty of scooters if you don’t mind riding a scooter.

[@DemonIsland]

I own a NC700X and my coworker owns a NC700XD, which has the dual clutch transmission that is automatic, he got it back in 2012 because he lost a leg entirely and it's just convenience and ease of being able to ride through the impact of such a disability.

[@paulwatson2499]

I'm thinking about one also. A Spinal injury messed up both my legs and my reflexes and balance. Full size bike is just to much for me anymore.

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

I hurt my left arm and no clutch or brake on the left is great

Another unique feature to the Navi is the kick starter, and the electrics start with the motor running. Something I’d like to see on other bikes.

If this rider is being honest!?….he’ll just admit that he had experienced “Buyer’s Remorse” which is pretty common to a lot of people (Buyer’s Remorse = Someone Regrets buying something because of the loss of money they spent to get something) I never had this buyer’s remorse thing for I’m always planning & studying everything before I buy it if it’s really needed or not, if it’s beneficial for me or wasteful.

[@cloudsweeper3936]

I city commute (no freeways) on a 250cc Honda Scooter which will do 70 mph. I don’t ever need to go above 50 mph on my commute, so the Navi would be Ok, but I worry about it’s ability to accelerate away from traffic at a stop light. This is where I am super happy with my 250cc’s power. I also own a 650cc Suzuki motorcycle, which I love, but I hate it for city commuting because of all the shifting that is required. Also most scooters have great storage which I need for commuting to work.

It depends what one wants. If you want something cheap you can beat up, navi is a good buy. If you want something a bit more premium, faster, cooler.. grom, z125, monkey… they’re all better. If you want a reliable commuter, I’d look into a new Zuma or something as such.

[@Randolini]

Although the little Navi is inexpensive and will probably bring new riders in to motorcycling, as someone who has been riding for over 50 years, I would always be drawn to a bike with a clutch and 5 or 6 speed tranny. I love my Versys X300, but I have started putting money back for a Grom also. 1 bike is never enough.

[@nemanjatosovic]

i think it is a fun little bike for commuters and I hope its price and ease of use bring new riders to the 2 wheel world.

[@geraldscott4302]

I doubt the Navi will bring in very many new riders. Most first time riders will probably change their mind when they find out what the price REALLY is, and those that choose to pay it anyway are not going to forget how they were ripped off by Honda. In my state, buying used is the only way to go. There is no sales tax on used vehicles, so whatever you pay for it is ALL you pay for it. No taxes, no hundred/thousands of $$$ in bogus fees. Honda COULD have used the Navi to bring a lot of first time buyers back for bigger more expensive bikes, but they chose to rip off the customer for all they could get to begin with. It's obvious they don't care about returning customers and referrals.

[@ytr8989]

It has a longer wheelbase than the Grom or the Super Cub.

[@thechosen5805]

How does this compare to the genuine rough house 50?

[@nemanjatosovic]

I think the roughhouse is built better, it feels a bit more premium. Obviously the roughhouse is a scooter where as the Navi is a hybrid. Seating position is different so generally the Navi is a bit more fun to ride because of the seating position but the roughhouse I think feels a bit nicer and being a two stroke sounds much cooler. The Navi is a bit faster, it has double the capacity, but not by much, maybe 7-8 mph however sometimes that makes a lot of difference. The roughhouse is more practical as you get under seat storage and a flat foot board. If I lived in a small beach town where the speed limit never exceeds 35 I’d get the RH, if I needed a bit more too end I’d get the navi.

[@kevinswann1251]

I have a 2022 Roughhouse 50. Was derestricted at dealership. Then added a Malossi 70cc bore kit, 19mm Malossi carb and Malossi exhaust. I've put 1,000 miles on it and I've had zero problems... If you have these mods done, you will need to add extra oil in the gas. Usually a couple ounces per fill up. It has an automated oil dispenser but it's set up for a stock 50cc. I do love this scooter! Excellent build quality!

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

I have owned both. The navi is much better and built much better. The service intervals are lower in the navi and it's 4 stoke unlike the buddy that's 2 stroke. The acclration and top speed is much better too on the navi. I wouldn't get the 50cc unless you can drive one without a motorcycle license and you don't have one

Should I wait for the price to lower (can it lower)? If not the only price that I could find under 3k is 2800 out the door

[@nemanjatosovic]

A lot of the price differences you see are due to taxes and registration fees varying state by state, on top of that some dealers just add on BS fees. Where are you located, ask the dealer to break down the otd price. If they’re charging you 700 for set up, skip them. In Illinois, a fair price is between 2500-2800 depending where you’re located. At 2500 your basically paying no fees other than freight and at 2800 you’re paying a fee hundred for set up.

[@wrinklingtissues]

@@nemanjatosovic I appreciate your much needed response. The ones in a 50 mile radius from me sell from $3200 to $4000. That 2800 price is 250 miles away and the only one at that price. Should I wait until next year when theres a newer model and for a used one or should I get the 2800 one?

[@nemanjatosovic]

@@wrinklingtissues well, traveling 250 miles will cost you lots of time and money. I’m not sure how the market will look next year. Have you considered maybe a grom? I’m sure you can find one at well under 3000 and it is generally a tad bit better too.

[@akmankalash]

people are trying to sell their navis for 3500 grom prices. NOPE i might pay 1800 because its just a scooter. NOT 3 grand though

[@geraldscott4302]

First of all, I don't consider Honda a reputable company. At least not any more. Their products are made in Thailand, China, and in the case of the Navi, it is made in India and assembled in Mexico. Honda's bikes are no longer made in Japan. Then there are the dealers. Or should I say STEALERS. When a stealer is charging $1000-$2000 over msrp, that is basically theft. I almost bought a Navi, until I discovered what the stealers were selling them for. I could get a used but like new Grom or Super Cub for that. And 50 mph will not do it in most cities. I live in Phoeniz, AZ, and while the speed limit on most city streets is 45 mph, idiots go 55-60 mph on those streets. And if you don't have decent acceleration, you are likely to get run over from behind when leaving a stop light.

[@dinospumoni8860]

I ride scooters and to the people doing over the speed limit I say fuck them. I’ll do the speed limit and if you hit me cuz your speeding I’ll sue the shit outta you. From my experience riding you are more likely to have an accident when your speeding on a bike than when your doing the speed limit.
