Can The Little Honda Navi HANDLE A Passenger?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I may be biased...but I think this might be the best Honda Navi two-up review that will ever exist. We REALLY put this thing through the ringer! We ended up putting in about 20 miles of EVERYTHING you could imagine- neighborhood cruising, downtown side streets, a 50mph highway, we even took this thing OFF-ROAD! Yes, ALL with a pillion on the back!
To us, the results of our test were clear...but what do you think? Can the Honda Navi REALLY handle a passenger?

So, I just watched the whole video. I know the 2 up had to be a little different, but I am 6’5” 250lbs . I basically am both of you in one body. I would not give up my navi for anything right now. I use it to ride back and fourth to work. Luckily the highest speed limit for me is 45. It’s 17 miles each way, and I love my commute now. I am loving your videos BTW keep ‘em coming! More with both of you. You both are great together!
Awesome perspective man! So cool hearing that the Navi can make a trek like that every day. I bet your wallet is loooving the MPG these things get too! Such fun little bikes. Thanks for commenting! I appreciate the support 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@Wolf Claude probably look like a goofy sidekick on my Navi, but IDC! 😂
Im 6'4 And 220, you think ill fit? (without 2up)
@Pete Muckenhaupt thank you for you comment very helpful.
I am just curious how Honda managed to get this bike streetlegal in USA? Carbs and a front drumbrake. I have had bikes and cars with drumbrakes at the front and rear :-)
With a lot of experience in riding a carburated scooter the tip to achieve better time on speed is not to pin the throttle fully. Have the throttle gradually increase along with the speed. I have tested these things its better to try them out. Have fun. Great content.
Your video reminds me of me and my wife. We have a 2022 Rebel 1100. We ride it together. Combined we way 510lbs. Well over the weight limit of 348lbs. But it doesn't bottom out, no issues riding no rubbing. We love it
That’s awesome to hear it can do that! I’m always curious where the weight limit comes from in the first place, whether it’s based off the suspension, power, etc. I bet you guys would LOVE the Burly Brand suspension though! It’s the best thing we’ve done for passenger comfort. It’s way more comfortable and handles way better than the stock set up!
@@LifeOfBurch Currently saving up for it! We are excited. We won't those so we can go to Biketoberfest in Daytona. Love the channel man! Love the videos!
From someone who mostly rides 50cc scoots, you get used to the sketchiness of being too slow. It becomes one with you 😂😂
😂😂😂
The sketchiness is the only reason why I'm buying one of these lol
I've rode for the most part of my 67 years and I loved my zuma two stroke. Just bought a XR 150 and love it. I also have a Sportster but looking to get another 49 slowboard
"It is beautiful today, but I can't even focus on it because I'm on this freakin death missile"
feltttt
Hey man, you got me back to looking into bikes when i found your rebel 500 content not too long ago. Just picked up my first bike yesterday. A 2015 honda shadow phantom, i wanted to get a rebel 500 but they are posted so few and far between for a ridiculous amount of money in todays market. Thanks for the great content and ride safe!
Yooo that’s SO awesome dude!! The Shadow Phantom is such a badass bike too! Congrats on your first bike and ride safe! So stoked I could play a part in that 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I appreciate the video! A lot of Navi reviews are from the perspective of a single guy doing a short commute but your video truly does put the bike through its paces. I’m still looking at getting one but spending a couple grand more gets me a used Suzuki :/
Happy to help dude! Honestly, if you’re on the fence (and could reasonably spend the extra money), I’d say go with whichever Suzuki you’re talking about! My girlfriend and I LOVE the Navi still…but as a secondary, errand running, around town fun-haver. If you’re looking to have one bike and one bike only, I’d go with something more capable. Just my two cents!
Got stranded and my dad's car was also broken down at the time. He had a scooter as kind of a fun vehicle and picked me up in it. Two ,six foot tall dudes and about 220 lbs a piece from Mayo Road to Ridgely Ave, during rush hour on a 50cc (half your displacement). Couldn't have been worse circumstances. You feel absolutely every pebble on these little things. Fully understand your girl's perspective. The Navi as a single rider looks like a complete carefree blast though.
That sounds absolutely terrible, but picturing that is hilarious! 😂😂😂 The Navi is for sure better with just one rider, but even still Nina and I were cruising around the neighborhood on it yesterday. We just keep it to roads with lower speed limits and we’re good…ish 😅😂
People my parents at the age of 57 and 50 went on their honda navi which was fully loaded to leh and ladakh. The machine was fully loaded and mot just clothes but puncture kits and extra petrol. And they went the whole way without a hitch. Its a great machine which will never give up. Then made it to Khardungla the highest motorable road on it. So its not a question about whether it can but whether you can or not.
I love my navi. Me and girl ride 80 miles on the navi and had no problem with the bike man. Just enjoy the ride man. This bike got way to many good thing about. My job is 17 miles away and I love the bike.
I usually start your videos anticipating enjoying them. Not so this one, but by the end realized this was a blast…admittedly at your expense. Thank you both for enduring the experience and confirming common suspicions about the Navi. I’d take a Grom as an around town bike, but that is my limit!!
It definitely was a blast!…with a bit of pain and suffering mixed in 😅😂 But it’s all in the name of science, and if our pain and suffering can help other people be more informed, then it’s all worth it! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Dude same (although I'm going for the Monkey). I thought the Navi would be awseome and couldn't believe it's sticker price was under 2k. But after actually seeing and riding one I'd say it's over priced lol. A Grom is like a Fireblade compared to a Navi.
Two-up should be a lot more doable once you get your first carb adjustment in. From what I can see from other reviews on it, the factory tune is really rich, potentially to help break in. Obviously beyond that, there's only so much you can do with that tiny suspension travel and the mushy brakes, haha.
How do you do the carb adjustment does it give more speed
Yo Burch, hilarious vid. You guys complement each other well. ✌️🐐✌️
Thanks brotha!! 😎🤘🏻
Honda were originally planning on releasing a bigger version of the navi with a 125cc (or 150cc?) motor that might actually able hold another passenger comfortably. They probably ended up not doing it because it didn't sell well in india.
Honestly, i don't know why honda decided to make a 110cc scooter for the indian market when most of them use 150cc or more, i'm sure the navi could've been a success if it were 125cc.
Would they make a "performance version" with 200cc??? 😆
Bro I just want to say thank you for the content because you're very easy to listen to and you have good editing good filming. Super nice work on your channel man
My wife and I 2 up the Navi often, never go really far though. Got up to 46mph just takes longer than usually.
How tall are y’all?
It absolutely hauls a passenger; I put my 75 lb kid on back, also my 120 lb girlfriend. The girlfriend got a little snug as I had to sit way up, but arguably it’s better for 2 up than the 22 grom (got rid of the Navi for a Grom)
I got a Navi a few months back and so far it’s not bad but it’s mostly used for my 10 mile ride to work
You sumed up my experience of riding 50cc scooter. The diference is that you rode 2 up and your ride looks cool. Other than that it probably feels the same 😅 keep up the good work with your videos. I enjoy watching them 😍👍
3:06 "This is wide open" followed by laughter is perfect.
After that title, I was hoping you were going to have a 1100 bro roll up, and have Nina ride off with him at the end. Lol.
16:47 I know that that dude is blowing through a yield sign, but it looks like he's already in the traffic circle. Americans definitely don't know how traffic circles work just by wrongly installing them. Vehicle already in the circle shouldn't have to yield. I've got a similar one in my downtown.
Another banger of a video. Keep it up, motivating me more everyday to start my own motovlogs
I would like to see some aftermarket parts come out to put a Honda reflex motor in a Navi. The reflex is 250cc and carbureted . I know people swap pcx 150cc motors in the ruckus which is a 50cc.
That looked like fun. Sketchy can be fun and exciting. How is your mpg? Theonly1film in Detroit is getting 105 to 130 mpg a frew times, not going wide open throttle. Anyways, thanks for the real, through the paces, 2 up test, and demo. Good times! 🤠
Just put a down payment on a Navi and im excited af dudeeeee, should be coming late june/july. loving the navi content so far!
how much did you put down
@@caramelthundaa $500 to reserve it and then paid the rest in cash when it got to the dealer.
I weigh about 320lbs and your experience two up is my basic experience when riding, but its a such a fun little bike to fool around on.
So envious bro. I am just starting to get into motorcycles at age 25. You are absolutely killing this shit and I know you are going to hit 100k subs easily. Keep grinding bro, i’m looking forward to your next vids!!
I'm also 25 and the navi is the bike that made me want to get my Class M
I think you're a little harsh on the poor little bike, but massive respect to your girl. Looked like you had alot of fun
Can’t really say the bike did that bad for what it is. Also I have to say nice riding especially in that off-road area.
Great video! I would like to see some off-roading with Nina on Grom. It might be interesting to see difference.
Ooo that would be an interesting comparison! 👀
Maybe a video with Nina riding her Navi and Burch on the Grom?
@@bootsinthedirt that’s definitely in our plans! 😎🤘🏻
I grew up in Holly Hill ,MD. Went to Annapolis alot. My navi is same color. I miss the steamed blue crab. In MO. Now
Awesome review test riding 2up. Great job bro so I brought all these thumbs ups for ya fam 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☝🚀🔥👊
Ayyy my guy always coming through! 😎🤘🏻😎🤘🏻😎
@@LifeOfBurch you know it 💪😎
I have to say your Navi and Grom videos are my favorite! SUBSCRIBED ✌️👍
Cool vid. Funny hearing her freak out on the dock . Also downtown there looks sonice. Need to visit someday
Thanks dude! We were both cracking up watching that dock scene back again 😂 Downtown Annapolis is GORGEOUS! You definitely need to visit if you ever have the chance 🤘🏻
Think this thing would be good for a daily commute thats 20 miles to and 20 from 40 total with a max 55mph speed limit? I plan to upgrade it as well.
I am buying a Navi this week. Same colour as yours.
it gets called a scootter but its still classified by the DOT as a motorcycle
In summary; "It beats walking, but not by a large margin." :D
still looks cool and sweet of you two cramped together.
I laughed so hard. Y'all look like you're having a blast.
It was seriously such a good time! 😎🤘🏻
Would like to see the same test on the grom if you can talk Nina into it.✌
Great video Burch and Nina !!! 🤙🏽
Pray for me, a lady asked to ride 2 up with me on the Navi for a group ride that usually tops around 50mph.
Great vid mate. If the lady will go through that she's a keeper. :)
The Navi has a 0.9 gallon tank and a mpg of 132.6 so not bad other than it having a carburetor 👍 best to use unleaded Ethanol for the bike it has some protection against the engine sputtering also I bought a new carburetor which is why I said a 132.5 mpg difference also major speed difference I can get a top speed of 62 mph switched the throttle and the best thing I found out is that you have to fill it up higher than the average of 0.756 I filled it up to 0.923 and major difference also I changed the brakes to hydraulic and made the speedometer LED and added front suspension also the heavier you are the slower the acceleration is so if you wanna hit 62 mph be 165-175 lbs and you’ll get that difference with the government tax and fees plus the bike and all the mods it costed me $3,347 so this can be a nice little moped/scooter if you put the work in
What carb did you switch it with?
I love the bravery 😎❤️🔥 parking is tuff in that part of downtown Annapolis I could see the Navi shining there.
nothing quite like a near-death experience do deepen... or shorten... your bond with loved ones.
Back in the day, we did 2-up on a 2stroke Zuma and it would do a cosistant 25. That thing was bulletproof. Had it for 11 years. But my BIG concern is the durability of the CVT belt. I had an '04 Silver Wing and the belt started slipping at 13K. Not to mention the Chinese scoots that would break belts at about 100 miles of 2-up riding. So I can see belts becoming an aftermarlet niche.
That's how it is in my town I can't go anywhere without seeing someone I know
The main bike I drive is a 73 suzuki gt185. The bike is in 4th gear going 30 miles per hour. Any hill at all you shift down to 2nd just to go up it. Your bike is zooming with two compared to 1 on my bike.
I think you guys look like you are having fun though…. When she smacks into you… that’s a good thing!
It’s a blast for sure! 😎🙌🏻
Sooo fun! I love that you guys went through the nature trails! 😂😂👍👍 I love this! Thanks for doing this! I haven’t seen anyone else do this on the NAVI!! ❤️👍😊 So do you think the Grom can totally handle 2 up well after this NAVI experience?. Thanks
I have the same Grom question!
i have traveled here in colombia and navi goes greats .... the distance 130 kilometer with tow person but please dont forget this bike it for city no for travel
Awesome video. I used to work in Parole MD and transferred closer to home in Rockville area. Honestly have been considering selling the car and getting a Navi or starter bike. If I do the navi, might do the modifications I've seen for the machine.
I seen someone going up a super steep hill in SF…how did it do for you
😮🎉 Seeing how beautiful your Town is makes me think how crappy Albuquerque is.😅
Dogg. Lol. Let's be clear, Nina loves Burch. This is absolute proof. 🤣🤣🤣
I weigh about 95.... I bet i could hit like 55. I use to ride a PCX 150 a lot, and I could break 70 max throttle easy enough and go on the interstate... that was pretty sketchy feeling. 🤣
Sheeesh yea I could only imagine how sketchy 70 on a scooter on the interstate feels! 😳😳😳
Think about this, some are doing all what you are doing with 50cc scooters... The Navi does it a lot better and cost less than a 50cc Ruckus. I say the Navi is a win so far.
I'm going to buy one next summer, here in Canada we only get the red one. I'm going to buy nut brown panels, the rear luggage rack, front windshield, hand guards.
Maybe I can find a way to use my Givi Trekker 42 on the rack for those grocery runs.
Had a CB300R and I want to go back to a Minimoto. I miss the Grom but the Navi seems like a good choice, don't really care about top speed. I ain't going anywhere where it's above 50mph
I’m surprised at the Navi being sluggish with your combined weight. I owned a 2010 Honda Elite 110 years ago, and being around 250 lbs at that time I was able to easily leave most cars behind from a light. It’s acceleration was good up to 35 mph and then it would taper off to a degree, but it easily cruised at 45 mph and my top speed was 50 mph. The Elite 110 was fuel injected, so that may have made it more responsive. I’ve been looking at getting a 110 or small 125 dirt bike for cruising the dirt roads and light trails at my buddy’s property in northern Michigan. I think a Navi would be good for this duty at its lower price and being street legal, I can use it around town at my house.
dude, I feel the pain, I had a rigid frame chopper and had to be vigilante on see and avoid all road imperfections, and when you hit something your butthole puckers. after about 13 years of riding the rigid frame, I experienced a herniated disk . Not sure how much the rigid frame is to blame but my spine has never recovered. but I will finish by saying at least I looked cool riding the chopper, not sure how cool 2 up on this thing looks lol
Now do 2 up on the Grom with the same route for those of us torn between the two.
Was going to suggest the same!
Put different tires on it for off road and it will be way better. My girlfriend has the grasshopper green one. It's fun with one person, don't think I would have an adult on the back maybe a kid would work...
These motors must be made to run at full throttle all the time. At least they are made well.
i live in baltimore md im thinking about getting a honda navi for going to work and around the city it definitely seems pretty fun
I LOVE THE NAVI, ITS SO SMALL BUT THOSEPROBLMS BRING ME DOWN U.U
I was going to buy one of these for my son. MSRP is $1805..... The local shyster dealer quoted me over $4200..... WRONG!!!!
Sheeeesh that’s crazy! 😳 We ended up paying $2,935 out the door.
@@LifeOfBurch Avoid GO AZ Motorcycles of Arizona.
Great video, I really enjoyed it (especially the offroad :D). here in Germany you are not allowed to drive a car before turning 18. so many teenagers who live outside the cities use 125cc or even less bikes to ride to school or smth like that. I wished the Navi was available here because of the extra storage it offers compared to my Grom :D
Yeah, I had a gsxr 125 for about 3years and it was pretty nice and fast enough once you got it up to speed. Like 140kph on the highway actually
I wish America was more like Germany so I could own a 125cc bike from the European style stable. Spain for instance has a wonderful small bike culture, those bikes serve well into young adulthood and you can usefully interface with the European transportation system with a 125. They are always fun to ride, a 125 of any style shines in mid sub/urban environment. Vast tracts of Europe are dense, low-rise mid-urban estates stretching across international boundaries. A Belgian 125 owner has immediate access to 5 nations in an almost unbroken, pretty cool landscape like that. Almost everything in that environment except carriageway transport is better on a smaller bike. You need at least two motorcycles as an adult in Germany though, in America you can get by with just the big one.
@@TheFogLakeshore well yeah, but I really would have liked not to be forced to use a bike which is underpowered. My current sv650 is far more suited for what im doing
So I'm 6'7 360 lb I really want to see what this would look like with me on it hahaha
little bikes rule
I buddy, I am an India🇮🇳. Honda launch the bike in India 2016. but not good sale in our market. one of my friend purchased that bike and I also drive that it's pretty good with our BS3 emissions standard. He was happy for your videos
Oh, Burch, when she was talking, was that with Cardo Paktalk or just the mic picking up the voice?
That was just my mic picking her up! We still have to figure out how to get the Cardos set up how we want.
@@LifeOfBurch Gotcha, yeah. If you need/want help setting it up, mention it, there's probably at least a few handful of techy fans amongst your subscribers. (Me included, by my first thought is a Y-Splitter cable if you're wanting to have 2 sources of audio to edit from?)
Dude if you are ever getting rid of one of these, I need one for doing deliveries and I live in the area.
Just get a 150cc scooter as the Navi is a scooter but less cargo. Look into the kymco like 150 about the same price while able to carry alot more and speeds of 65mph.
When are you and Nina going to do more of your videos on her learning to ride the rebel 300? You did one and that was it.
I bet it gets a bit faster after it's fully broken in and has gotten the first oil change.
I would not go 2 up if both people are heavy. I let my friend try mine and I rode with him. We wobbled and almost ate crap
Oh my, oh my!! That's all I've got!
I was thinking of buying this but I’m afraid it’s just too slow for the city, I live in Mexico in the second largest city and it’s filled with pick up’s going fast af so idk about this
Great job once again.
I have one of these in mexico i fit 3 ppl couldnt get past 60km which give or take is like 30 miles per hour it was fun tho 😭
I've seen family of 4 in smaller scooter than the Navi in Mexico XD
Any updates videos with Nina learning to ride? Really enjoyed the first one
my guy. you gotta go to the other side of the spectrum and test ride a suzuki boulevard m109r. love the video as always. yes, cagers will always think they have the right of way because they are bigger and i'm so glad you and your girl didn't go for a swim on that dock. lmao. be safe, have fun and i'll see you in the next one.
great vocab lol and video , thanks , you guys are funny
Wonderful video. keep up the good work. unfortunately I live in a very aggressive environment. That Navi would get me hit or rear ended.
One of these would be perfect for me, I just need something to take me like 3 miles a day. Im currently Saving for one but there all sold out in my area :{
man, you too are super brave.
Under too heavy of a load the belt will slip on the pulleys. Done too much too often it will lead to early belt and or pulley failure.
the navi is ok if you spend a little more you get a much better bike depding on what you like compared to price vs preformnce
Great video 👍👍
She is 5 foot 2 and 3/4s. Love the way women count their extra halfs and quarter inches of their height LOL
Thanks
where in MD do you live, because I heard in one of your videos that you were about 20 mins out of downtown Annapolis, I'm about the same distance
one thing I learned from your videos is that everything is sketchy lol
The real question, what was worse? Riding two-up on the Navi or riding a bone stock Rebel 1100 in the Mountains of Tennessee for 4 hours? haha
😂😂😂 true shit!
5:42 Ah dude, you can pick up that 300lb bike off the U-Haul, you didn't need a sketchy ramp for unloading it, just pick up the bike by the frame and turn it around!
(sarcasm)
😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this vlog made me laugh .
wait, do you need a motorcycle license to ride this Navi in US?
Yes
They need to make a 250cc Navi.
After the break in oil change and proper adjustments you probably would have seen a good bit better performance. Doing this on a bike with 78 miles on it isn't going to give you a proper result.
Do a shot every time someone says ‘sketchy’
