There is nothing Italian about these modern scooters. They have zero connection to the iconic Italian marque. This is a Thai produced modern scooter with automatic SYM frame and scooter engine.
"The CV-R5 gets a new 427cc motor, making 40.2 Nm (29.6 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm. However, it's still unknown if this is a fresh, twin-cylinder engine or an upgraded 400cc single from a previous model." Seems they're keeping it a secret for now
Bought one, excelent ride, strong engine, small consuption average 3,5 l in the city. Makes my life and work much easyer. Regards from Serbia, Belgrade. 😊
Hey Can I ask, do you think it’s a good bike for someone’s first bike? Also did you buy it new or used? I’m thinking of getting one next summer but it’s quite expensive and unsure whether I should buy a new one or used. Also, did you try riding it yet in rain? I heard it’s too dangerous to ride in winter and rain
@@andulasis6283 Honda is perfect bike, balance is excelent, engine is strong, quality is maximal and worth every cent. I have michelin city greep 2 tyres and I feel safe in every moment, also you have abs on both wheels. Best recomondations. Wish You safe ride and good luck.
They have always used the MX frame for the supermotos. The SMR is built from the MX bike so they share many of the same parts. No need for 6th gear on the race bike with a close ratio transmission.
CVT instead of fixed gears kills this as a serious trail bike. Why CVT? So dumb Make a scooter a scooter. Everything else seems about this is really terrific
