Ultra cheap motorcycle/scooter from Honda

How about a new Honda for $1807?

The first of these have hit the streets of the USA.  Actual OTD prices are around $2200 - $2600.

My first impression is...."pretty ugly". Reminds me of the suitcase scooter. The grom already has that area covered....
Haven't seen photos yet with a normal sized American rider.
When my dealer gets one, I'll sit it.
It's a Honda - so quality will be 👍.

It's about the same size as a Grom.  Full sized adults fit on it just fine.  It is assembled in Mexico.  Why is the price so low?  It looks like a motorcycle but has a scooter drivetrain with a CVT,  It has a 109cc engine with a carburetor.  Brakes are drums front and rear with a really goofy linking system.

ah, perhaps....not so sure he feels like his grom is a good fit.....



But, you know what?...A lot of us scooter riders look like a circus bear on a tricycle, too
and we couldn't care less.

at not much more cost than Chinese 50cc scooters I hope this makes a big splash. Although I'm not too convinced that Honda dealers will stock a bunch of these as they seem to be hesitant to stock scooters in general (at least around here).

Twice the cc's of a 50 cc scoot with Honda build quality and dependability...at a great price. Bring 'em on!

Actually, there seems to be a lot of interest and dealers already have a lot of deposits on these.  I think they will sell all that they bring in, at least for the first year.  Keep in mind that it is a motorcycle and looks like one despite the scooter drive train.  It looks a lot like a Grom which has been Honda's best selling street bike in the USA since it was introduced.  Maybe there will be some parts of the country where there won't be interest but overall I think it will sell well.

I dunno, I got a K-Pipe, I like it's 17" wheels,  Ive been on a Grom & Z125Pro, with their twitchy 12" wheels,  might be ok for

Both the Ruckus and Grom became cult bikes with a huge aftermarket allowing people to modify them.  It is possible the Navi will be like that.  There are already a lot of aftermarket parts planned or already available.

Here's an article on the Navi:  https://www.cyclenews.com/2021/12/article/2022-honda-navi-review/
