Why you should AVOID the Honda Navi & Three Better Options for New Riders
I think the Honda Navi is a well made machine. I also think the use case for this bike is fundamentally flawed for traveling on American roads.

    You know for 2000$ whats there not to like? A fun little bike that requires no clutch or shifting, a 110cc bike that can top at 55mph and 90kmh, thats a bargain for a honda.

    Pipe seems to make more difference than the silencer. I thought they sounded ok as stock but now I’ve changed my mind. The full system swap makes the bike sound much better, hides quite a bit of engine noise as well

    All i all tho i see some points. Now i am kinda thinking about a E bike. Although i been riding mini bikes for awhile now. I work like not even 3/4 miles down the road. So eh i dont use our car my fiance works farther then me so i walk. It be cool to have something street legal an take it to work Idk you definitely gave me something to think about.

  • @JorgeVonVogler
    @JorgeVonVogler 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    So only thing i can definitely agree with this is not a motorcycle It is set up like a scooter but the drife system an engine are similar to a mini bike. So i considered it a street legal mini bike. Goes about the same speed as a mini bike. But i personally dont think you totally get it. What honda is offering here is a city commuter bike. It low end mini moto bike You didnt even suggest the moneky or grom? Which i found odd. A monkey can go 68mph with a exhaust an some tuning.. The helmet hair The hot weather etc no matter what your going to have idc what bike you ride. In summary: it a city bike like close commuter bike ( e bike could be a better option but eletirc yuck) Or i could see this used on country roads for sight seeing You can get these bikes to go faster with mods...

    I own an "1100" cc metric MC that I purchased used, low milage in 2011. It is 2024 now and It still runs fine with proper repairs and matenence when needed. It will reach interstate speeds easily and keep up mile after mile. I payed $3,800.00 for it. Probably cheaper then most of those little mopeds. Just be aware of what ya want or eventually will want. If ya want a Moped, accept the restrictions.

    I just bought the 2024 Honda Navi about a month ago here in Australia. Im traditionally a big bike rider but I wanted fun and to do something a bit different. This machine is brilliant, so economical and reliable and compact. Fits anywhere. Ive been 2up with my wife a few times and we have a ball. Its a no stress, fun machine and keeps pace with other traffic around town. The little storage section down below is handy if you have to run to the shop. So glad i got this bike.

    This guy is clueless. I bought one of these when they were first launched in the U.S. as I was sick of the crazy gas prices. I live in an urban city and I daily it from February to November in MN where it's cold and terrible. Wear your gear, be safe and attentive, and quit whining about helmet hair. Its 2 grand and it does fine at 50mph. I ride it at its absolute limit so often all the time. Its a Honda it will run forever. Its 2 grand. The fun factor for the value is off the charts. I do agree with doing the MSF course though, as you will need your endorsement to ride this awesome little machine. This guy is crying for all the wrong reasons dont listen to him.

    I've had a honda grom, navi, ruckus, rebel 300, and honda 1100 dct. All new. I've enjoyed all of them. I enjoy riding and have never pushed mine to the limit. They're all great bikes. Each one is made for a certain way of riding. It just depends on what you are interested in. I enjoy scooters and motorcycles. I also have an ebike which also can be dangerous if you ride unsafely. I still have my navi and love it.

    I’m also getting rid of the 650 due to it uneven weight distribution which feels on the top portion of the bike even during running in to corners. It’s not an effortless entering in to a corner. No doubt the motorcycle is stable while riding compare to most bikes. Somewhere the Triumph Bonnie feels easy to manage. Street Twin is a better choice i feel.

    The country where this bike was originally being sold had a lot of slower stop and go traffic where it did fine. The problem is when you try to sell that same bike in a country with larger vehicles on the road, faster and less congested driving and drivers on the road that are always speeding then a bike like this becomes a deathtrap. It's the wrong bike for an american psycho driving environment. Now if they made a version which was a little larger with a more powerful scooter engine then that would be somewhat better.

    Hi Mike, First off. I really appreciate your review of the Honda Navi. I watched a GenZ guy review it and the sensibilities between you two are amazing. You have the knowledge and wisdom of mature life experience. Re: the speed the Navi can achieve. The darn thing only has a 110 cc motor. You spoke of it as regards highway use. Only motorcycles with the power of a 250 cc motor are allowed to qualify for highway use. Otherwise your rider license certification is limited to surface streets. The Grom is only a 125 cc and it barely achieves anothr five mph more than the Navi. That is why my first bike was the 250 Rebel which was capable of 65 mph. And we measured 83 mpg ! The wife only weighs 128. I love your coverage and real world considerations. All the best. Bob
