      It's weird because scooters are laughed at and it's just a scooter with plastic on it. But as long it looks like a motorcycle people will buy it.
      Iv own a Grom and a Ninja 400. Overall scooters are the way to go for chill rides. I never owned a Harley but having a back rest would be amazing when riding.

Have never owned two bikes at the same time.But I don't know if I could ever let my little buddy go. New bike is in the shop having after market touring parts added.

    • @HondaProKevin
      @HondaProKevin  2 года назад +4

      Same here, I'm a massive fan of these little bikes but like you said - theft can be a MAJOR problem with them. That's why I always preached to guys when I was selling these mini bikes that you better have good insurance, it's cheap and will save your butt should someone decide to just toss it in the back of their truck / van while you're parked somewhere. I'm with you on the speed too, it'd be nice if all of them could at least get up to around the 60mph mark so you could feel a little more confident with hopping on different roads.

      @joujimiichi1 2 года назад +3

      I 100% agree. I had a deposit down for almost 3 months before I got mine. Be prepared to pay almost double to get it out the door of a dealership too. My fiancé LOVES this bike though. Just last week I installed the Hot Laps exhaust and now her Navi is almost as loud as my 22’ Grom SP with the Vance & Hines Hooligan exhaust. She gets so excited taking off from an intersection now that she just leaves me in her dust. Aftermarket exhaust makes the Navi so much meaner but you’ll have to wait about 7 weeks if you want that as well because that is a bespoke exhaust from Japan.
      As Kevin said, all the parts are pretty cheap too but you will have a hard time finding where to purchase them. The Navi has VERY uncommon tire sizes and because of the low clearance between the rear tire and the back of the crankcase, larger tires are just not an option without other modifications. I like to build up my bikes with a lot of aftermarket parts like most who have Groms, that said; I would recommend this bike but also warn of the challenges regarding parts for this bike.

  • @2RCPRODUCTIONS
    @2RCPRODUCTIONS Год назад +2

    Great vid! Love how you compare the metro and ruckus to this. All the disappointment I see is comparing this to the grom. Its a scooter that you swing your leg over. If you have any mechanical sense at all or you use the bike at least once every few weeks the carb will never be a problem. People forget that carbs we’re commonplace on everything not many years ago. The ruckus and metro still have carbs and they sell out everywhere still.

  • @MrLou8888
    @MrLou8888 2 года назад +7

    I agree with Phillip . If money is the number one issue this bike is the way to go. But I have had more than enough carbs to work on for a life time. As always another good review.

    • @HondaProKevin
      @HondaProKevin  2 года назад +1

      Same here bud, I've gotten to the point to where I could care less about anything with a carb these days - unless it's something that just really tickles my fancy so-to-say lol and has everything else going for it. I think the price point on this thing makes a lot of people forget about the carb woes and I'm one of them, it's cheap enough and has quite a few other positives that would make me forget about that at the end of the day.
      Thank you, appreciate the kind words ;)

      Scooters are normaly higher. So this is 41.1 inches vs 40inch of the grom. Your best bet is to just go to the dealer and seat on one. If you think it's still to high they can lower suspension or you can do the mounting on pegs trick.

Do NOT buy this bike until parts become avail or you’ll be regretting it. Also, the forks, they’re the same as the Honda 50… This bike is cheap but is also built CHEAP. It didnt sell in India bot because they didnt like it, but because its quality isnt there which is unlike Honda, but thats what a price point bike gets you.

      Cars are highly regulated and they have important laws to prevent you to just brining it over. Only now you can buy old Japanese kei cars and skyline.
      For motorcycles it's easy as buying something from China showing the paper of origin and VIN then boom street legal. Lol
