MiniMoto Drag Race: Can The Cheapest Honda Navi Take On The Most Expensive Monkey? 

how are your navis doing?

Just got mine about a week ago as well. I live down in Miami and it’s great for the beach and college

I wish they would’ve made the Navi a little bigger and 125cc-150cc would’ve been perfect . Other than that a great option . Especially for those who aren’t acclimated with switching gears . Or don’t want the hassle

@@rickybobbydastar6534 i ran across a stock grom at a red light and we both booked it and it was only about a 6 feet gap between us and the other rider was approximately my height

@@Sweethustles interesting, how do u like the Navi ? I had a hawk 250cc , first bike, like I didn’t understand the choke at first , definitely fast but wish I got something a little smaller less powerful for a first bike

I have had my Navi in India since 2016. Done 10000 kms. I have driven it 300 km in 7 hours with one hour stop...carrying 70 kg luggage. Navi has never let me down. It may look dainty but is tough inside.

Do you still have it? How's it held up after nearly a decade?

@@TheAnnoyingBoss Yes, I have my beloved Navi. Good as new. Perfect performance.

@@donaldbaxter4254 post a short we'd love to see it man I know I would

@@Enrique-peralta I have posted pics on NAVI groups in USA on FB. Too tedious to post on RU-vid.

@@Enrique-peralta Ever tried SLOW COOKING IN EARTHEN POTS? The taste is divine because certain enzymes are developed only that way. Navi is something like that...faster then a mule but slower then a horse. Navi is made for FUN, not speed. Your body and senses are free to enjoy the ride which is INTUITIVE. I just tell my RED RIDING HOOD where we wanna go and my baby does the rest. You reach in STYLE and get loads of envious eyeballs and open jaws. Navi is getting the crazy love from the world, except India where it was developed and where I bought it in 2016. Now it is a prized item as Honda stopped making it here. Stupid decision! Let Navi take you, like starship Enterprise, where you have never been before and you would steal some hearts enroute. NAVI means NEW in India...and it is innovative in many ways...but it is NOT HARLEY or KTM or HAYABUSA. It is like a cuddly, cute puppy who think you are the world. Sorry for being poetical and emotional...but that is how MOST Navi owners like me feel.

How do you like it!

Same

the bike was on center stand, and its an automatic so since they were not holding the brake the rear wheel was spinning under the engine revs.

I have an Enduro 250 and a monkey. If you're planning to do any trail riding, I'm sure the monkey could handle most of it, except for mud and rocks. The exhaust goes down really low and is the lowest part of the bike, so the Enduro is the clear choice for that. If you're just getting a bike to cruise on the streets, than monkey is the way to go. It's super comfortable, and a pleasure to ride. Can't say that about my klx250s because of the narrow and tall seat. I bought the monkey to mess around on, but after getting it, I fell in love with the bike so much, that I felt bad for reving it too high and getting it dirty. Everything is just so shiny and beautiful that I wanna keep it that way. I also installed rear foot pegs and it's so fun to have two people on that thing 😂. Not much space, but it's doable for small people. Good luck on your purchase

You can buy a nice used Kawi Ninja 300 for the all in price of a Navi. That is not the point. I just sold my Ninja 300 and have a Monkey on order. I have owned a few dozen bikes over 40 years and I just want to try something new, cute and slower. I probably would prefer the Trail but they are not sold in Canada, neither is the Navi at present. Grom or Monkey only and Monkey is way cuter.

@Muslimcel I can't buy a Navi in Canada, new or used. I am not interested in going to the US to buy a bike. Happy to keep my business in Canada. I have enough that I can buy what I would like. I like the Monkey, gonna be a chick magnet, like a cute puppy.

And also royal enfield build quality ) :

I have a Grom and secretly wish it were a monkey because it reminds me of my childhood.

case is in heat,he doesnt feel the cold

That's hard packed snow/ice from a storm. Sometimes it can take months to melt that at moderate temps. It can be 55 degrees out and that mound will still be there leaking. You must be from a warm climate state.

@@thechosen5805 I'm in Australia; even 55F is cold to me haha

A sheep in wolf’s clothing, if you will.

They require a motorcycle license, motorcycle insurance policy , and an endorsement. They are much faster than scooters with 1/2 the engine size.

So. I largely agree. I kind of want a Navi. It is basically a scooter, but it's a scooter with foot pegs and you can grip the fuel tank with your knees and I'm really curious to try one and see how that feels.

Yea mine out the door was 2661

@@joeroe2839 mine was 3500. Ridiculous

@@kurtmakeemhurt6657 they delayed mine again 2nd time and canceled the whole ordeal ..I ended up spending more but went w a venom Chinese bike a bit more but it's a full size bike 😩

we buy it around 600 dollar here in India n ive had it for 4 years now....

Just never leave ethanol in the carbs. If you're going to park a carbureted vehicle and not run it for a while, shut off the fuel and let it run the bowls empty. Or better yet, just run ethanol free gas.

@@crudboy12 Hmm, good tip there. Thanks brother!

Can of Seafoam ought to last a while, given that this bike takes just under a gallon of gas. 😂

Just get a cb300r

These two guys have been doing TFLbike since September 2020. They also work as the cameraman for other TFL channels.

Been a TLF fan for some time. I watch with my teenagers from time to time, and they like seeing guys closer to their age, keep up the good work guys.

This is the Bike channel. The two you speak of are on the car/truck channels

They require an endorsement, registration, and a motorcycle policy for them. They get over 50 mph and have more than twice the size engine of a Rukus or such.

high elevation.....cold start.... plus 4 strokes are always cold blooded. ever owned any?

I'm in PA and I paid $2,570. The Monkey is $5,000 out the door with all the fees and taxes

I have both. The Navi is preferable for around town for me.
