Very clever use of music and cinematography to invoke nostalgia in these import bikes. I'm loving them and can't wait to get on one and test it out. Thanks for the push. =^)
Too bad the MSRP of $4100.00 wasn't the out the door price, by the time they add freight, prep and tax you're up to $5000.00, way too much for this little scoot.
Reasons NOT to buy one. 1. It's made in China, which means it's junk, plus China is an enemy of the U.S. 2. It has EFI and a computer instead of a carburetor, so you can expect some very expensive problems that you cannot fix yourself. 3. It has tube type tires, which tend to have a lot more flats than tubeless tires, tend to blow out when punctured rather than lose air slowly like a tubeless tire, and CANNOT be repaired beside the road like a tubeless tire. 4. It has no centerstand. If you have a centerstand and a ton of tools and some new tubes with you, you might be able to repair a tube type tire. A centerstand provides a way to at least get the wheels off. Also great for lubing, cleaning, and adjusting the chain.
1. China is one of the largest trade partners the USA has, and is one of the largest economies in the world. They have military neutrality with America. I'm certain you have a huge amount of Made in China stuff in your home. Hell, China makes a ton of Japanese components. Not to mention that they have been improving their quality, and China doesn't have a monopoly on garbage. I'd rather have a good Chinese product than a shit American one, and vice versa. 2. Fuel injection is more efficient than carburetion in terms of emissions, power, and fuel economy. Carburetors allow you to do more modifications, but they're also often set up to run lean for US emissions, resulting in shit bikes for new riders. Almost all new bikes are EFI. Yes, it's harder to work on, but it's mainly just a couple extra sensors and the injector instead of the carb. You save $$$ on gas compared to a carb, and EFI is incredibly reliable nowadays. 3. That's why there's stuff like Slime, but even so, pretty sure you can put a tubeless on there if it's a huge issue. Tubed tires have been around for a long time. 4. Lack of a center stand does suck, but many smaller bikes lack one as they're not really easy to work on at the roadside even WITH a stand. It saves weight, space, and cost to omit it, and you can buy a bike stand for home.

I just bought a 2022 in red. It's a perfect beginner bike! Thanks for making it.
When I was looking for a bike my top choice was the Yamaha SR400, but this bike cost less and has electric start, I assume. Looks great, too!
The G400C does have electric start and is fuel injected.
electric and kick start, how cool is that.
Pretty cool 😎
I think I want one! Love the single cylinder idea and it looks like it has a kick start. Is it also electric?
Yes, it is electric start.
Where are they available on the east coast?
This riff! This band!? I need it! Who? Where?
Me too!! Did you ever find out? I looked on Spotify but couldn’t find it.
Design from Honda great purchase look it up I did
I want one ;_;
Take your 5K to the dealer then and get one.
How much for the bike?
You need to showcase a woman riding one of those. I think this is a great bike for a smaller person or newer rider.
Hell I'm a fat guy at 240lbs and I want this bike lol
Those are nice bikes but this is a pretty lame video.
I know you want to link into the nostalgia/retro look, but come on. You can do better than this.
Yeah, how much for the covered bridge?
Lol video is super corny
