  • I've never ridden an automatic motorcycle and I finally got a chance to do it at the Honda press event a few weeks ago. Quite honestly, this is a very low stress bike to ride. Highly recommended for around town rides, especially if you're a brand new rider.

      I love My Navi,
      It's the 7th motorcycle I've owned,
      4th honda.
      2k out the gate
      Pure fun it's perfect for my rural area, handles gravel and country roads well.
      After all said in done, I will have less invested than a monkey intial cost of 5k.
      Freaking love my Navi

      Honestly not what I want, but definitely what I need right now. I don’t live too far from work but if I were to walk that would be hours. Biking would mean b.o at the start of the day. So this would be perfect small and cheap at street speed

    Because I live in a county full of absurdly loud Harleys and overtuned sport bikes, my Navi is literally the only one on the road where I live. Minis just aren't a thing here. They are so not popular here, that while other Honda dealerships can't get them in, ours still has a left over 2022.....with 2025's about to come out. They couldn't remember the last time a local bought one before I came along. That said, what is the most fascinating is the compliments and questions I get literally everywhere I go. Nobody knows what the hell a Navi is because mine is literally the only one driving around. After a couple of minutes talking to me, everyone wants one. Every biker I encounter waves at me. I don't care about self image with a bike. I just wanted something fun to drive around town, but I thought for sure people would make fun of me riding around on my Navi. It's been entirely the opposite. Everyone loves the little thing, LOL!

    i own a 2022 , with over 3,500 miles.on it ,.runs perfect , no problems so far . i change my oil once every two months because i want to 😁 i change transmission oil ever 3 or 4 months . I've changed spark plugs 2 times . at 3000 miles i adjusted both valves + i put a new air filter on it. Every tank of gas i put in a little carburetor cleaner to help keep the jets clean . my navi is 100% stock . on the highway as a rule i cruise at mostly 40mph. and sometimes a little at 45 mph. My navi will do over 50 mph. I've never run my navi full throttle ever. Safe rides everyone. Always stay super.super alert , just last week where i liver a motorcycle rider was killed at a intersection. Watch the red light runners lane changers and people pulling out on the streets.

    p.s. i live in deep south Texas, McAllen, tx.our summers are super hot. To me oil is super cheap to use in a navi. 24 ounces to fill. Left over goes in the gear box. at times I change oil monthly or at two months . winter months every 3 months and no gear box oil change . i plan to replace my belt at aproxamently 5000 miles. Those belts really get a workout. i did a valve adjustment , 1st. one , my bike starts 100% better than the factory adjustment , my bike would not stay running after starting with out the choke on for awhile. Now it starts right up without ckoke.and idles perfect and doesn't shut off. i 100% trust my bike , i now just hit 4000 miles. i ride daily weather permitting. Super great for running errands. My longest trips are to Mexico , from my home to the Mexican border is a 50 mile round trip . i get to see all the illegals😀😁😂 that Biden's let in . i plan to get another Navi early next year. Stay safe and super alert.

    The down side of the Navi is that all that space in the middle is useless. Honda could have made it more big in the middle under the the rider a space compartment.

      Not uphill, and I personally feel uneasy going over 45 unless conditions are ideal. The bike starts feeling a bit unstable to me. Maybe the wheels are too small or the wheel base is too short for high speeds. Crosswinds hit hard and knock the bike around. If you require cruising at a solid 50, get a bigger bike. May I suggest the Honda XR150L?

      I'm surprised. If you (as I assume) drive a car in LV then... how often do you drive faster than 50 mph? Isn't LV mostly surface streets? I can see how it would be insufficient in LA but I would have thought it would be ideal for LV. I'm sure I'm missing something.
