Having two types of stands, a side stand and a center stand is great. Having an electric start and a Kickstart is great. I just wish they would dump the carburetor and give us an EFI version
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 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
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 .
Just bought mine a month ago. Put 800km on it so far. First service is soon and it’s working great. Paid $3300 ish Canadian out the door with 2 year extended warranty as well. It’s a great city bike but not a major highway bike. Noted so far: Max speed so far is 80-83 km/hour Gas range. The tank is tiny including reserve 3.5 ish litres If you do go on a long drive on a slower highway (80km series) plan your gas stops or take fuel with you. Currently getting 2.92 litres per 100km or 80.5 miles per gallon. The seat is comfortable until it’s not. Again not an issue, mine started killing me around 250 km of driving. No aftermarket full seats yet available. Storage is good. Factor tail/passenger area is great to strap things to like bags or netting to hold a gasoline jug. Tires do feel unsafe ish hitting cracks or slippery areas. Packed or firm dirt is ok driving. If it’s loose or heavy gravel then it’s a no go, the tire sinks and steering is gone. Also the stock tire size sucks and it should have a larger 12 size tire wider on the back. For smaller people, the bike is still high. If you are 5’3 and smaller you cannot flat foot this if your inseam is small. Wind is also a factor, you will feel the bike move in gusts or if a semi passes you. Also no windshield from stock so winds at top speed are noticeable hitting you and bugs. Upgrades and OEM parts are affordable. Does not have hazard 4 ways. I plan on doing the following, Redo the whole belt system with most of the major RUclips upgrades. Carb and air box reworking. Jets and remove stock air box and add aftermarket kit. Bigger tires maybe 12 inch for back. Hate the idea of shaving metal off for fitment but the 10 inch tire sucks. Windshield and tail rack. All in all it’s a great cheap little bike that has its limitations. With another $1500-1800 Canadian you can make this a highway bike. If you don’t wanna do the upgrades and still plan on highway driving I suggest you buy a used full size bike. This is for city people or people who like to customize and highway drive. Just my opinion.
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.
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!
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
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.

Yes I definitely fell the same way. It’s the perfect little motorcycle and tons of fun.
Great video!! I'm definitely going to miss mine, but I'm ready for more speed. I looked at a Honda Reflex today
I love the blue!
It’s looks amazing
I don’t need something that’s fast, for my first bike, this one is perfect for my budget,
👍💯 love the honda shirt!
MC because it's over 50cc in all states. In fact all step through scooters above 50cc are considered the same.

Smart idea and you are absolutely correct
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

Love that color
You are absolutely correct Mr Baker
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
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

Hope you get your new Navi soon
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
I’ve heard the factory tires aren’t so good. What replacement tires do you recommend for city use?
I’m looking into getting some new tires.
I just bought mine pearl red 2024.Its so fun to ride.But paid 3150 out the door.I guess it depends on the state lol.
great video. what phone mount and spedometer app are you using?
apps.apple.com/us/app/speedometer/id1460509229
it beats walking . good moto trainer. keep the maintanace .
Love the vid. Seriously considering getting one soon. Anyway you can give me the link to the phone holster you're using? Thanks.

Do u know if the 2025 model has any major changes?
There will be no changes in 2025 not even color
Honda raised the priced..
They did a little
Did yours come with a trickle charger plug? Didn't notice that on mine and I have the same exact bike
Yes, my dealership does it for all their bikes
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
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
I don’t drive mine any faster than 35 cause it’s not about the destination it’s about the ride
My 2023 off the show room floor with tax ,title , license 1300 bucks

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
Great for DoorDash deliveries. Just need to rig a box to the back.
Most definitely
I run 91 alcohol free gas in every scooter I own
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
