I picked up a 2024 in February here in South America. It's perfect urban cruiser. I ha e do e 75 mile each way trip to another city 2 up with my wife. Love the navi, I drive my car when it rains or need to carry things. But to and from work it's great
Looks like a fun little bike. It amazes me how people buy these small machines for a budget price and get disappointed because they didn't get big bike cruising speeds from it. They're small and affordable for a reason. They require little space, use little fuel and are capable of doing the speed limit most of the time. I don't see the problem. If you want highway cruising speed get a bigger bike. :)
@@cb3391 I'd like to eventually get a much bigger bike myself. But for now my scooter will have to do. Even if I got a big bike I'd still keep my scooter. :)
I love my 2023 Navi! Great little bike from Honda. You are right about it getting a little faster after break-in. I have about 2500 miles on mine now, and it's been running better than ever. I'm 6'1" and find in quite comfortable. I like the foot-brake and engage both brakes when I'm stopping. It's a good habit to get onto. I've also been using the kick start, which works quite well, and might reduce wear and tear on the starter. I use a little bit of Fuel-Stable Plus to help with the ethanol issue. Seems to help. Ethanol free gas is not commonly available where I live. This thing is good in traffic and helped build my confidence dealing with other drivers. On a smooth road with gentle hills and curves, the Navi is pure joy. Caveats for those considering a Navi: : 1) It can feel unstable in strong winds. 2) The stock tires do not handle wet pavement well. They can slide out on you in low (20mph+) turns, so be smart and take it slow in wet conditions or get better tires. 3) Not fun on cracked, pot-holed streets, or rocky roads. The suspension can't handle it. One other thing: the Kemi-Moto saddlebags, which I bought off Amazon, really made the bike a hell of a lot more practical, making commonly used items like my wallet, cigs, bug spray, rain jacket. etc. much more accessible and adds to the storage capacity. I paid $80. Any small saddlebags that fit are a good investment.
This is most detailed and comprehensive review of the Honda Navi I’ve seen , thank you so much . I’m currently driving a Can am Ryker Sport and feeling the urge to transition to 2!wheels but want to do it in a safe and slow manner lol I go to dealers and they are pushing me to get the engine on 2 wheels but I just not comfortable with a fast bike . This seems perfect for me and a great daily drive to work . Thanks again for the great video .
Nice review! I just ordered a monimoto 9 for my ruckus since I'll be taking it to work and keeping it on my porch. I'm not in a high crime area but I still don't want to take any chances. Insurance covers the value of it but it's that $1150 in fees that it doesn't.
Nice bike! You should enjoy it. As far as dealers go...you gotta use common sense . If a bikes sticker price is 1900.00 and out the door is 5000.00 in my mind I'm thinking 2 used bikes for that price. 😂 Love that color
I absolutely love mine. Where I live it's nothing but loud cruisers and overtuned sport bikes. Minibikes are just not a thing here. So much so, that our local Honda dealership still has leftover 2022 models, and the ones they do sell are all out of town. Mine is literally the only Navi on the road in my area, and pretty sure the entire county I live in. I thought for sure I'd get made fun of riding around on it. It's the total opposite. People absolutely love the little thing, and I get compliments and questions everywhere I go. It does a perfect job of the illusion of speed, with not much speed at all, LOL!
beautiful mini motorcycle. I can notice that in the United States it has a brake on the right foot, in Mexico all navis come with brakes on the handlebar, like bicycles, the right brake is the front brake and the left brakes with both wheels, Also the rear spring in Mexico comes in red and not black. I hope to have mine soon. Knowing your height would be interesting since it is a small motorcycle and I am 1.83 meters tall. Thanks for this great review. 🙏🤘🤘🤘
Be sweet if they made this into a dual sport but i did see a video where a dude put knobbys on and did some slight lff roading like gravel roads be awesome
My little 50cc moped is down currently ,I've been trying to save up for my duke 390,but however I keep coming back seeing this bike,I just didn't like how I felt sitting on a Grom,I have more leg room on my 50cc bike cause pegs are lower,it gets up to 43 ish before going up hills,I just didn't like changing belts all the time but once I time how often I needed to,it's not too big of a deal,my bike holds 2 gallons on 12 inch tires and times an I get 146 miles to a tank an it's carburetorlated too,I paid 2,000 in cash for my bike an that was for shipping from Canada to Tennessee,it is also beginner friendly twist an go with disk breaks in the front sn drum on the rear, honestly I didn't car for going fast but wss was fun bike to get start to see if I liked riding it an had to replace one spark plug an was a fum commuter,It only required a regular license,so yes on tje duke is 43 horsepower an requires a endorsement an Im ok with that,ready to go take my tedt bit im needing a manual transmission bike to take my test with,if ihad this bike id wanna a brighter LED headlight for night riding,which i do alot to get get to work,also the price of this bike brand new was hollering my name to have something to ride to have transportation till I had saved enough for my 2024 KTM Duke 390.
@@slowridersmotovlog201 ,ty no problem, yeah an when get my new bike I'll probably sell it to my sister in law .she's wanting to get into riding I figured this would be a great starter bike for her an she can learn to work on it
I f you leave it stock it will give you years of dependable service if you start modifying it then all you going to be doing is work on it , in my opinion I bought mine to ride most of the time not work on it
After break in I did : air filters Small wind screen Grip guards reduced wind resistance Increase of 4.7% Cruise at 43mph Hills at :40 Pegged flat:50 Love my Navi Funnest I have had since 78 If the monkey wasn't ridiculously priced may have got one but my budget of less 3k.
2022 Navi bought june 2023 from dealer .5 miles
Now at 700.
Love my Navi!

Very Nice/ Navi Nation!!!

Agreed,
I personally love going down a country road at 40 mph.

I concur, If I had to get bigger commuter bike, may have to see maybe 300cc...
Rebel or???
Alright alright alright been waiting. Really enjoying the vids

This bike would definitely be perfect for you. Thank for the great comment.
I don’t need something that’s fast, for my first bike, this one is perfect for my budget,
Seeing this brings me back to my first 50cc and all the joy it brings. That thing only did 30mph but it was a blast driving to hell and back for $20
That is real my friend
The CB 300 has the exact same signals as the navi but with smoked lenses on the life of birch channel he put them on his navi
Great Video my brother from another mother. Man I really really want one so badly they look so much fun
They are definitely fun. I can’t help smiling the whole time you’re riding it.
@slowridersmotovlog201 that's awesome my guy I hope I could purchase one next year 🙏
@@Evilryu4005 I hope you get one too
@slowridersmotovlog201 thank you very much my brother from another mother hopefully next year I could buy one 🙏

Smart idea and you are absolutely correct
Its an excellent alternative to ebikes st thst price which in my opinion are to fast for bike lanes and sidewalks and to slow to keep up with traffic
👍💯 love the honda shirt!
The Navi really looks good in the Midnight Blue color. How about a Navi short video and lou Grahams midnight blue song in the background lol .
Great idea
@@slowridersmotovlog201After watching your video again I'm wondering what the break in speed is just in case I get one. Thanks
@@scottdavis9318 I would keep it in the 40s for the first 100 miles then you can increase

Love the vid. Seriously considering getting one soon. Anyway you can give me the link to the phone holster you're using? Thanks.

it beats walking . good moto trainer. keep the maintanace .
I run 91 alcohol free gas in every scooter I own
My 2023 off the show room floor with tax ,title , license 1300 bucks
I don’t drive mine any faster than 35 cause it’s not about the destination it’s about the ride
Great for DoorDash deliveries. Just need to rig a box to the back.
Most definitely
great video. what phone mount and spedometer app are you using?
apps.apple.com/us/app/speedometer/id1460509229
Honda raised the priced..
They did a little
I’m gonna buy one as soon as dealerships stop charging additional mark-up. Freight and 3T - sure. Additional profit over MSRP - nope.
No more than 2100 out the door my friend and you won't be sorry

Cruise at 43mph
Hills at :40
Pegged flat:50
Love my Navi
Funnest I have had since 78
If the monkey wasn't ridiculously priced may have got one but my budget of less 3k.
I will say one thing mines a tare ass from 0 to 40 for no more than what they are they will shit and get they are a total blast to ride
I’m about a week away from getting a Navi. Am curious though if there’s another automatic bike that this would compare to?
No not really my friend
that’s a shame that they havnt changed anything about it. they really should get better mileage than they do. real life mileage is only about 80 mpg.
I definitely agree with you they have work on mpg
