It was actually decently priced in India but we had a lot more options in the same price bracket. Honda here sells Honda Activa with the same engine but in an actual scooter. That made more sense to most of the people. Honda Activa is one of the highest selling 2 wheeler in India. For people who want motorbikes, we have likes of Hero, TVS(Indian Brands) who sell full size motorcycles with fi engines for only 100-200$ more. Navi was in the middle of these categories and just couldn’t fit into either. Hopefully it will catch on in US market.

This bike really didn't seem like a possibility for me until you said it has a 100cc engine. That was when a light bulb came on in my head because many decades ago I started riding motorcycles on a 90cc Honda and actually had great fun with that bike. I would agree that 50cc scooters have very limited power but when you jump up to 100cc, that is a significant improvement. I now think that I could actually make use of a bike like this if I needed to. I would also like to compliment you on your sense of humor.

It has been available in Guatemala and Latin America for years,but here it competes with a ton of other small motos. Interesting that honda decided to put the brake on the footrest unlike the navis everywhere else

This is a spin off on the most successful scooter in India The Activa 110... It's actually pretty great to ride..smooth efficient and cheap to maintain Honda wanted to give the non bike riders to get a feel who didn't really like to ride scooters.. This is also highly customisable.. Unfortunately this lost out a bit on practical ity like underseat and front leg storage.. Indian buyers still preferred an Activa over this

I just bought a Navi a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it. It's the whole thing of perception of 'speed' without any real 'speed'. With it's small size, surprising 0-30 punch, and just getting to wring it out all day, it 'feels' fast while keeping you out of trouble.

In Mumbai some dealer gave the Navi free along with CBR250s to help clear old inventory before new emission norms took to force. This was when BS3 was transioning to BS4 emission norms.

Yep I'm in love with this bike. I'm only 130 and 5'10 so this is an awesome choice for me. I can fit my work stuff in the storage compartment. I have everything I need to ride it except almost enough money to afford buy one. But it will be winter by then.

Just get a motorized bicycle kit, legal in a lot of states and they're like $120 (takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours depending how incompetent or tool-less you are), slap that on a thrift store bike and go! Personally those 2 stroke kits are terrible (horrible fuel economy, I'm talking like 40-50 mpg compared to 250 mpg on my own custom 2 stroke motorized bike), but they are so cheap and simple that even a monkey or small child can assemble one that its hard not to just recommend them. If you end up hating it (they are severely low power, also the exhaust restricts it by about 25% of its speed), then you can just give it to a kid that likes to tinker on engines and they'll have fun fixing it if you break it (and the CDI ignition packs are terrible, along with the magneto, but its like a $10 fix when it happens). Also I think the clutch engagement pads are some sort of rubber excess from a shoe factory, so you can honestly fix these things with old tennis shoes when parts do wear out. Again not great, but the entire engine kit probably costs the same as JUST the tag or insurance. Even 20 mph is plenty fast for most campgrounds (that's about what they do), so I mean its trash but its fun trash. Also the 66cc (marketed as 80cc) looks the exact same as the 49cc kit so nobody will probably care (its not exactly a high performance chainsaw engine, its actually lower performance than antique 2 cycle push mowers, but I mean it goes bang and moves you around so if you're not racing then who cares)

Freight alone here in Canada is C$635, making it C$3,000 before tax. For a bike that still needs a full license/gear, can't safely even go on country roads, absolutely no freeway... no ABS, short service intervals, tiny wheels... I think I'd rather a small second-hand bike for similar money. You can get a 2013 CBR500R for C$3,000 with ABS and it gets the same fuel economy if you ride it at the same speeds, but can go on any road or freeway.

I daily this bike and I got to stay I love it. The storage compartment is enough to take my books to class (45 mins away) and enough to get groceries. Wish it went just a little faster or had a bigger gas tank but overall it's the most fun I've ever had going the speed limit

I'd like to see this with a pipe change and rejet. And see about sourcing brakes from different models. It seems that with just a cpl standard upgrades that this would be a ideal city/back of the rv bike.

What's interesting to me is all that extra storage space...for batteries. With a large battery and a 72v front hub stator motor, That would dramatically increase torque as a hybrid. Something crazy to think about.

I hope this becomes available in the Philippines. You're lucky man. Its a good bike.

Great video! Loved your style of humour, clear voice, rhythm and edition. Just a comment: it is not made in Mexico but rather assembled in my homeland. The whole parts arrive to the state Jalisco from India :)

We have a NAVI and a Super Cub and MT-07. The NAVI is a great relaxed, easy to ride around town bike. The NAVI is very easy for anyone to ride and is very unintimidating. We live in a largish town in Colorado, we ordered one of the first two NAVIs that came into our dealer, ours was $2471 OTD with all fees, freight and taxes. I hear a lot of folks talking about the ridiculous OTD prices with the mark ups and fees many dealers are charging. The answer to the outrageous prices is for everyone to just refuse to buy the product from dealers that want to have those business practices.

Small bikes aren’t just for beginners. I use my 50 cc Genuine Buddy scooter for trips to the grocery store. It can carry a week’s worth of groceries at 45 mph and 100 miles per gallon for the 15 miles to the store and back. I can’t do that as well, or as cheaply, with my Vulcan 900! As gas keeps heading north towards $10 per gallon, bikes like the Navi are going to start looking might attractive to even experienced riders!

Man this dope! I was thinking of picking one up I love so close to work (maybe only 8 - 10 blocks away) it’ll be better than taking the truck I have.

With gas prices touching the sky, it's one of the best choices. It takes you from A to B, looks fine, works fine and has some storage.

It weighs around 265 pounds, 2 stroke liquid cooled with 5 gears and a wet clutch. It goes 65mph top speed and is very fast to 45mph, very fun to bang through the gears. To me it's the epitome of mopeds, I ride mine all over and it's an attention getter for sure-everyone always tries to buy it off me. I've ridden the 125cc version and that one goes 90mph!

Apparently customers are not stupid in India. If it's not worth it they don't buy it.

The problem with it being “the new moped” is that most states consider anything with more than 49.9cc of displacement to be a motorcycle. Some also require them to have functional pedals as well. At least nj did when I was 15. At that age, one could get a moped license, a full 18 months before one could drive a car. As a result, mopeds were popular in my town. I had one.. a tomos targa lx.. literally the only moped everyone had lol. But anyway.. this would be a motorcycle in most states. My current home of Colorado included. At that point, even if I was scared of the clutch and gears, I’d probably still opt for a 250-300cc scooter.
