Is The Crazy Cheap New Honda Navi The BEST Option Under $2K - Or Should You Get A Used Grom Instead?

Okay, this is actually incredibly tempting over a Grom. I'd been considering a engine swapped ruckus as a runabout toy, but this is cutting out some of that work AND it actually has storage. I'm positive this little scooter is going to get a strong aftermarket scene, especially with that nice price. Hopefully though, you can decouple the brakes.

Awesome review Alex. You covered it all. Even where it was made. For all you new riders out there, don’t complain about having to take a rider course. If you want to ride bad enough, that’s the price you pay to play! Best thing about Honda scooters is they take speed mods real well. Without any aftermarket parts I could get you 3-5 mph (top end speed) on a torque converter tweak. Carb is also a good thing too. Not many mods for FI. Should not be an issue to de-link the brakes at the pedal. Very cool bike/scooter! Honda knows how to get people riding!

[@Stickman0660]

Due to health issues I have to have an automatic bike. However the safety course here won't allow you to use your own bike. Whats a guy to do

I ended up buying a Navi as a third bike. Truthfully, I enjoy it more than my bigger bikes for short trips. It's perfect for running to the grocery store or any where under five to seven miles. I've been keeping track of the fuel mileage. So far, the worst tank of gas was 88 Miles per Gallon and the best tank so far has been 105 Miles per Gallon. It will be interesting to see what the Honda dealer charges for the first service at 1,000 km, which I am fast approaching.

Honda dealer wanted 5k for a used Grom. Only 300 miles. Another dealer wanted $4200 for 2018 with 300 miles. I took the second one. After registration and tax it came to $5k. I like it. This Navi is a steal.

The USA version is a little different from the version sold in my country, that's because both brake levers are on the handle bar. In my country the Navi is cheaper, it's priced about $1500, the storage box and side stand are optional. We also have the chinese copy, it's called Serpento Nova, it's even cheaper ($1280), but the storage box and side stand are included, the Nova doesn't have fuel gauge, just an indicator light for low fuel, however it has a front disc brake and alloy wheels.

Really cool and informative video! I have been debating getting a motorcycle for about 7 years now. It's a cycle I keep going through in my head where I think about how cool/fun it would be to put a rack on it and get groceries, or have someone on the back to go sight seeing with. There's something so silly yet admirable about the image of loading a motorcycle up with groceries. Then I think about it practically and realize how if that'll be all it gets used for, I'd be better off putting that money towards upgrading my car. Or I just rent a motorcycle for a day to get the feeling out of my system. I haven't done that yet though because I don't want to ruin the fantasy by learning how the reality doesn't come close. Even so, that doesn't stop me from running through this motorcycle fantasy several times a year for weeks on end. I just love the machines and concept. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

If someone comes out with a bigger area "trunk" area...I will most likely get this!!

[@LikeKoby]

Great video man! And just an fyi, I think they linked the brakes for two reasons. One the parking brake duh, and the fact that the CVT does not like to come to halting stops or skids due to its nature of how it gradually speeds/slows. Unlike a clutch which you can disengage and re-engage at speed. My notes for Honda, parking brake is useless since it has a center stand which works perfectly fine on any steepness of hill because you don’t face a scooter/motorcycle directly up or downhill. Take my word, I do food delivery via (49cc) moped in Honolulu!

[@aeroflopper]

the parking brake is so you don't start it full throttle and it rips off without you

[@LikeKoby]

@@aeroflopper why would full throttle occur? Your assuming the rider makes that mistake? That’s like assuming cars have parking brakes for the same reason?

[@hafeexius]

The linked brakes on the Navi exist for only one reason: it was designed and made in India based on the the Honda Activa scooter. As per Indian government regulations, any motorcycle/scooter over 200cc should have ABS. Vehicles with smaller engines need to have linked brakes.

In comparison to the Grom and Navi these are more of a full sized bike and handle the roads just fine (up to 80mph), good for both men and woman.

Incredible!!! The Honda Navi was introduced a couple of months ago in South America at a cost of $931.00, in US it is introduced at $1,800.00!!!

[@MastelCat]

Lol Here in El Salvador, the Navi came out in 2017 at a cost of $ 1300, now it cost 1550 $ without any extra. if you want the adventure Kit, the motorbike cost 1800 $ more or less.

[@arai6147]

In India it was launched like 5years ago lmfao for around $900

[@sdugasjr]

I think the one that was made by steady garage was meant to look more like a cafe racer, still looks cool regardless and I hope theres a lot of aftermarket support for these like the there was for the older Honda two strokes.

[@Nosloveingneko]

That tron inspired one has me drooling at the idea of one of these, particularly for how cheap it is.

[@R99]

$1,807 sounds good but all the dealers near me will be charging $2800-$3000 after fees. Far too much for this bike.

[@jacobclegg1507]

Same goes for the grom. Cant leave the dealer for under 4500 and at that price I'll buy a full size bike from a few years ago

[@EchoSigma6]

Them SOB’s!!!

[@christopherburns9880]

Went to a dealership in Stockbridge Georgia today and after all the BS they added in the price came to $3,595😂

[@310smoker]

Yeah i pass at that price too bad

[@TT-ch2pz]

Great video. Thanks to you I knew more about this bike than my dealer did when I picked up my ugly greenish/yellow Navi yesterday.

[@kwaitefuni9152]

$2k for the Navi? Sounds like a nice price. It seems like it would be great for getting around town.

[@Prepare2Survive]

I think it's awesome for the price. I hope Honda considers a 2nd model with the 49cc Ruckus motor because there are many states where you don't need a motorcycle license to ride a 49cc scooter.

[@thejubieexperience]

And swap it the other way too. A 109cc Ruckus would be awesome for those of us with licenses

[@speedyme200]

@@thejubieexperience I wouldn't doubt sooner or later ppl will start getting their hands on Navi engines and swapping them into ruckuses even though they already doing GY6 150 swaps

[@DukeOfDC]

I request another drag race 😂 great video man!!

[@paulyoder865]

The linked brakes are NOT a problem, if you look close up you can adjust that at the front wheel. There’s two adjustable cables going to the front drum brake, one from the handle bars and the other from the foot brake. Loosen up the one from the foot brake and do all the skids you want.

[@paulyoder865]

go to 5:38 in video

[@Two_wheels_dasher]

Honda should of put those mirrors on the grom instead of the round goofy ones.

[@marcnissen578]

I’ve got a 2023 ranger green but I’m going to change it to red , that red color just looks AWSOME

[@VebitoTetseo_gPlus]

Honda sold these for about USD 650 (About INR 50K) in India. It's discontinued though.

[@matthewsullivan3581]

Bought the 2023 yesterday for my wife and she put about 20 miles on it. She’d never rode a motorcycle a day of her life and she is absolutely crazy about it. Very approachable, very friendly bike. Looks awesome, and it’s a freaking HONDA. How can you go wrong for 2400 bucks out the door for a brand new motorcycle?!

[@heribertoescamillalucas990]

I see there are some features different from the version sold in Mexico, for instance, we have two different keys, a smaller one for the box, it comes without kill switch, and no foot brake, but We do have more custom accesories, probably they will come out in the US next year.

[@paulvarner8439]

I'm 70 and not going thru the mid life thing and have never had a bike.. I think I'm going to start looking for an around town toy .. thanks for the review.. very informative..

[@glennllewellyn7369]

G’day mate! How did you go? Australia

[@pistolpete6321]

Can’t wait to buy one, fantastic video!

[@ronsteitz4535]

I can’t wait until these bikes become a available to ride. These bikes look practical to ride around town to garage sales and doing local errands.👍

[@xpndblhero5170]

This would be a perfect 10 mile radius bike for running around town but I'm more of an electric guy but I really like this little bike...

[@KF1]

I have a 1kw ebike and it's awesome, but so too is this Navi

[@glennllewellyn7369]

Good God men, get away from the dark side!

[@rahulpchowdhury3458]

I owned navi for couple of years in india it has excellent handling along with ease to nimble in traffic.Hope it does well in US

[@acvn-hg9gy]

Here in the netherlands (and most of the EU) you need a A1 license for this, so you need 3 exams (one theoretical and 2 practical) to be allowed to ride it, and you'll learn to shift eitherway. That said, if it gets to the netherlands, it would still be about 4k here amd a used grom is about 2800 euros when one is available.

[@acvn-hg9gy]

That said, i love the fact that its carburated. Makes tuning a lot easier ;) cause you just know there will be over bore kits and such

[@Digidi4]

here in slovakia you get the Am license when together with the B license and with that you can ride this, but you need the A1 for the grom

[@acvn-hg9gy]

@@Digidi4 here the AM is onlu up to 50cc unfortunatly

[@16driver16]

Here in America you get one license you can get it on a fully automatic 50cc scooter if you please and then your allowed to ride ANY bike ANY size lol because "freedumb"

[@marsrover001]

Same, 50cc or greater requires a licence in USA. And my class put us on loaner 250cc manual cruisers to do all the testing on.

[@nickcross2684]

I’ve been researching this bike for a little while now and I think I’m gonna get one for my wife. It’ll be her first motorcycle and I think this is perfect.

[@Liberty4Ever]

I'd seen the Navi on Honda's website and the specs and price were intriguing. This video conveys infinitely more information. Thanks! I'd have paid $500 more for fuel injection and maybe disc brakes, and I concur that it would have been good to leave linked brakes for the handbrake but have the foot brake only activate the rear brake, not just for skidding to a stop for fun, but also because dragging some rear brake can stabilize the bike for safer maneuvering. The center storage is great, but I'd give it up for more fuel capacity. Storage up front for cell phones, etc. would be nice and adding a USB charging port would be even nicer. I'm surprised that mechanical instruments are cheaper than a simple monochrome LCD. I love the fuel economy but hate that Honda has a place to list fuel mileage on their website but never do, always substituting lawyer weasel words. I'd also love to see a 2.5 or 3.0 gallon fuel tank. Who wants to stop every 100 miles to buy three quarts of gasoline? It was CRAZY to see the extensive artistic modifications people were making on these mini bikes. My mods would be more functional. I'd add a rear rack and side bags to make this a serious grocery getter or commuter bike.

[@tyleramato4526]

I put a deposit down at my local dealership today! Allocation of 1 set to deliver mid February. Got the neon!

[@jareddegood8313]

I really love this bike, but in the USA it doesn’t make a lot of sense. In most states, you can drive a bike with a engine less than 50cc with no motorcycle license, yet the “no license need” models (ruckus & metro) are more expensive than the Navi. I get that

[@ericharrison619]

DUIcycles Are what they are referred to here. Part of the reason why nobody wants to associate with scooters. It's a shame really for both the scooters and the miserable looking drunks that are obviously not riding for the fun of two wheels. Better than them driving a car drunk again though.

[@-Jason-L]

Here in ohio beginners can ride on temps, just not on the highway or at night. It wouldn't take them long to get good enough to pass the riding test on this for an endorsement, if they wanted.

[@summersol5]

I think the headset while on the road is more impressive. All my Bluetooth does not sound that clear. Impressed.

[@alcesspectre]

It's really tough not to consider this when you see the price tag. I always wanted a small "scooter" sorta bike when I'm staying close to home.

[@mahler2112]

My favorite bike of all time is the Honda 50. That is a very cool bike there. I just got an XL185 to fix up to put around on.

[@miketran4289]

What sucks is these go for around $600-700US in India and Mexico and been there since 2016

[@will3377]

Great review! Never heard of it until now and the fact you are a local from me... Awesome and safe out there.

[@johngroves5643]

A cheaper grom, and its got storage? Just what I wanted.

[@adamrobinette6832]

I bought a Navi and I absolutely love it. It does everything I need it to do, and is fun as shit doing it. The epitome of the perception of speed...with not much speed. What is most interesting is the number of comments and questions I get. I live in a county full of compensators. Nothing but majorly loud cruisers, and overtuned sport bikes. Mini bikes aren't seen on the roads here. My Navi is literally the only one I've ever seen rolling down any street here. While many Honda dealerships can't keep Navi's in, ours still has 2022's and 23's with 2025's coming out. I'm the only local in as long as they can remember that bought one. So the bike is met with curiosity everywhere I go, and people go nuts over it. And after talking to me for a few minutes, they want one, LOL!

[@lensperspective9753]

Same here, man, I get compliments and questions on The Navi like crazyyyyyyyyy, guys love it, women love it, and they love riding with me, it’s a great bike that people love, and they love how it looks, very 1980s 1990s looking Japanese mini bike

[@cavalierliberty6838]

I like it, but it needs a triforce emblem due to the name.

[@beerussama7093]

Definitely a better option over a lot of e bikes. The only bad thing is, you DO need a motorcycle license in the states to drive one. Sucks considering some e bikes or e scooters that are as fast or almost as fast as the Navi don’t require one. This is perfect for me, especially to run errands around town.

[@johnbetz4481]

Can’t wait to snap one up used about a year or two after release for $1500!

[@kylecouture1917]

You wont find them used under 1800. Dealers are marking these up and with fees it ends up being around 3k. You might find one used for 2200.

[@vladimpaler9274]

I bought a 2020 Vitacci Rocket 150cc and did a lot of upgrades, that bike runs great and is a lot of fun!

[@algesbrek5695]

Every vid i watch on this navi ,i go, i wwnt one ,then naaa i 'll buy a Grom, now after your great vid i am....I wan't it. I would use this as a rv. & fun bike and keep my 650 v-strome of coarse. Question? Is the hand brake for both wheels or just the rear? Or just the front?

[@zeppast]

In my state of Pennsylvania you need an M1 endorsement on your license for anything on 2 wheels with more then a 50cc displacement or a comparable electric vehicle. The Navi would be a great city commuter for me but I simply don't have the time to take an MSF class right now. Not saying an MSF course isn't worth taking it's just tough time wise and they can be expensive.

[@TheFitnessMusicChannel]

Wow..Nicely priced, a perfect local commuter and just maybe cooler then a Vespa 😎 Just minutes away from everywhere I need to be, work, groceries and Beach. This just might work, Gotta test ride that Honda as I have eyes on a Sondors E motor cycle at 5.000 + so now that's a cool looking bike👍🏻 decisions decisions 🤔

[@lowlifespodcast8791]

Had a 2017 Grom and sold it an my buddy just got the 2022 Navi and to be honest it’s nice to not have to shift lol. It’s a fun bike for sure !

[@abbaby555]

Nice bumper bike for the RV crowd 👍

[@jrnumex9286]

great first bike heck yea, great 2 nd bike heck yea, this will be 10 for me. i have the ruckus and ct 125 trail in garage among others.
