NEW 2022 HONDA DAX! The DAX MINIMOTO is Back and BETTER | 7 Things

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

What do you like most about the Dax?

[@kf4293]

Well, it looks nice and all. But if we can't get one, it's a moot point.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I had no Desire for one in 1972 when I bought My Yamaha GT-80 and I have no Desire for one today . I think people will buy them for Nostalgia However. I like the Honda Cub Trail a lot better. I upgraded to a Yamaha YZ-80-A in 1974 then I put a GYT kit in it that tripled the power.. Later I bought a used GT-80 and Put a GYT kit in that.. If the engine even came on the pipe it would blow the headlight fuse.. Then all the Rivets in the flywheel sheared and I installed an Internal Rotor CDI Ignition from a Newer YZ-80 did tons of port work .. It would do 0 to 85 MPH in a few seconds than ran out of gearing.. I had to shim the clutch springs to keep them from slipping.. The YZ-80's had way larger clutches with more plates and more springs and way better suspension . I blew the doors of from My Dad's Yamaha DT-250 , from my friends Honda XL-250 and XL-350 a Kawaski 350 Green Horn .. a Honda XL-350 ect Then my Neighbor let me ride his Yamaha AT-500 .. when I weighed about 115 pounds.. That thing would rip. I gave it the gas in first gear and shifted 1st through 4th it's top gear with the front end about 1.5 feet off from the ground. I think I surprised my neighbor .. Sadley he died in a car accident and his Father sold the bike .. Not much suspension but a way lower seat height than modern dirt bikes have .

Takes me back to when I was 12 , my dad had one and we rode it on holiday and I went on to own a couple…..new model puts same big smile still and I’m in my 60s ….just looking at it does that so priceless!

[@CrustyBiker]

I don't like it's inability to bumpstart a centrifugal clutch, and no kickstart lever either?..

[@masudashizue777]

If they bring it to the US, I will definitely buy one. If they release it in metallic blue, it would be a killer. The original Dax looked terrific in that color.

[@bennetthasty7886]

I love ALL of the Honda mini motos

[@kevinpratt1395]

Bike looks great except the front low fender. Wish it was mounted higher like the original CT 70. Would make a great campground bike.

[@ollekgspd]

La primera serie del modelo original venía con un guardabarros parecido. El llamado "casco romano".

[@rainerwolf6319]

I had a Dax in the 76 and ordered a 125 blind. If i am lucky it will be my x mas gift.

[@denniekorpi5264]

Monkey - good want one. Trail 125 - good want one. Dax - great and favor this above the others!

[@MrTopadman]

Only told today my red Dax has arrived in the dealer……had a ST50 and 70 and wish I kept, but this will be a nice little bike to ride locally

[@602North]

Reminds me of my old Trail 70 from back in the day. I think it’s pretty cool.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Yeah these things are coming back in popularity it seems like... maybe because of the affordability...

[@BSinNH]

Loved my orange trail 70. Would run home every day and jump on that baby. Was my backwoods 4 wheeler on 2 wheels.

[@arobjavan9481]

I cannot figure out why Honda brings the smaller engine, Navi to the US where speeds are higher but Honda doesn't bring the larger engine. They got it backwards. Navi engine is too small for use in America's streets, but this bike is OK but it may not make it to the US. Honda is doing it backwards.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Navi is being marketed at a campground bike you can pout on an RV, a training bike, A beginner bike for someone that just got a license and for someone that isn't going to ride highways, more choices are better, they have other options besides the Navi in the mini moto lineup they are just going to cost more...

[@PHICEN]

1972 CT70!! Memories!!

[@SchoolforHackers]

That was my first bike too!

[@thejayvodlexperience7856]

These little bikes are so bitter sweet. These things at my local stealerships in So Cal with taxes and "dealer adjustments" raise their OTD prices up to about 50-75% from MSRP. Like forget it, it makes no sense to get something like this when a bigger freeway legal bike is not that far off. But hey, I don't blame em, there are more suckers willing to pay than their is supply so oh well!

[@perpitraiter]

I like it, but don’t forget the folding handlebars and a center stand for us “stow and go” folks. Then I’ll buy two!

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I have never heard of a DAX.. Looks like they are trying to bring back the Honda Trail 70 .

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Dax was the EU Name, Trail was US Name.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

@@NewBikeMikeChannel I guessed that .. but they should call it the Honda Trail in the USA. Many of my friends had them. They were slow but would run forever.

[@ericdoe2318]

I had to recheck the page name because New Mike Bike is a genius name but not the one I remembered. Another banger of a vedia! I appreciate all of your work I dig the format.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Thanks glad you like the format!

[@ecrusch]

One of those would be fun to have just to goof around on.

[@maximpowers1]

I had the ST 50, in the 1975 mod, i am getting the 125 :)

[@DBJCobb]

I'm saving my money 💰 when they hit the USA 🇺🇸 I'm buying one.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

I never had a trail 90 but I may get a "Trail 125" yet waiting to see how they price it...

[@jerryfarmer5989]

hell yes bring it here.

[@DooDooDisco]

i'd love to have a dax! I grew up riding an old dax my neighbor gave my dad to fix up.

[@markslivka3806]

I have a 1969 from Japan. The low fender is how they where on the origanil.it had a low exuast.most people raised the exaust

[@ofcbob6391]

Did he say no clutch..but it's a 4 speed? How's that work? I would love an automatic scooter-like operation. This looks so much better than a scooter.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Honda has been making clutchless ATV and Motorcycle for years. To be clear that have an automatic clutch but no manual clutch for the rider to operate.

[@SunRise-ul7ko]

Had the dax when I was a kid in the 70's. Unfortunately it currently only comes with 1 channel ABS for the front wheel & a new law in Australia requires them to have 2 channel ABS, so both wheels then have ABS, to be legal. If they introduce 2 channel ABS, I think they will bring this bike to Australia. If they do I will buy one.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Hope it happens!

[@jediknight2350]

your laws suck you need to vote in someone with a brain lol.

[@waimeaguyz9074]

Wish it would come to the US. I'd buy one now.

[@daxcruiser3757]

The design of the new DAX looks mutch more "powerful" then the DAX from seventies. Seems like the DAX is grown up now :) Looking forward to testdrive the new one.

[@JossshMC]

Buying one if it comes to US!

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

I hope it does! Would be a fun little trail bike!

[@bugsy101ify]

I just want a couple but there a little pricey for the power they deliver

[@davidkusterer8981]

Yes bring it to the US

[@domingomarbella2673]

Bring the Honda Dax to USA!!!!!!

[@bowzerbrawler789]

If it does make it to the USA 🇺🇸 I’m getting one.

[@chulaluks.8101]

Price 84,900THB ~ 2,530USD I just booked few days ago

[@davidwick4298]

Bring it to the u.s.a. I would like to have one 😃

[@tonytee.1864]

I want one!

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

yeah I am hoping we get a US announcement soon!

[@kf4293]

Only thing we really need to know is, it ain't available in the US.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Yet…Europe often gets bike releases ahead of the US and KZbin is a global audience.

[@johnborg4382]

Needs ABS front and rear to be sold in Australia. I want a red or blue one.

[@bfarm44]

Lately all Honda does is lie about what they are sending then cancel orders on what was actually going to ship now they will kill the goldwing here and most likely shutter a perfectly good production line that could easily be retooled for the smaller bikes and scooters they cancelled. Whoever is running the show claiming parts and shipping issues needs to explain why Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki don’t have these mystical issues. You’re folding Honda and king time customers are getting sick of it

[@marekurent4692]

Hi im on waiting list for red one in Slovenija price is 4300 eur

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Awesome let me know how you like it once she is delivered.

[@Cabbage_math]

I’d rather have a nice original one from the 70’s and just do a top end upgrade

[@brianhoward9217]

Nice review - thanks! Dax back after 41 years you say?? No, Dax was around since the early 70s so I call it at least 53 years. Anyone know any different?

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Not 41 years since it was originally released but since it was dropped in EU was way I understood it from Honda's info.

[@nielsvvvv]

@@NewBikeMikeChannel last dax nt was in 1998

[@sylwesters.4048]

How tall person can still feel comfortable?

[@FlannelGorilla]

Definitely would be cool to see these in the US, but I've never heard them called that so that might be a European thing.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

They called them "Trail" in the US and DAX in Japan and Europe

[@4paapii]

Howis fuel tank size compared to the Monkey?

[@outragousbob4367]

I’ll buy one in the US if they put on off road tires on it and raise the front fender to where it belongs.

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

❤️❤️❤️

[@madbagy]

4000 dolard for that, no thanx

[@wtpence4731]

Pure B.S. ! Where are all their products ??? Where are these or trail 125's ??? B.S. on Honda !

[@drgeoffangel5422]

Good Points, frugal on petrol, disc brakes all round and probably ABS, as they have no choice! Bad points , size in 2022 traffic, its very small compared to the massive cars now on the road, in UK small wheels will just love dropping into the deep cavernous pot holes, on Britain's broken and scarred roads. Not big enough to carry two fully size adults, unless they are consenting adults, and lastly WTF happened to a kickstart? was it too much to add one? Sorry Honda, you have consistent shown, that you know SFA about what motorcyclists actually want? What's the point ? in 10 years or less, it will all be electric bikes and cars anyway!

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Going to be more than 10 years here and even then in Rural USA much longer...
