Honda Navi Review - Comparison with honda activa - Rwr

I got a call from Rishav of Dugar Honda earlier today and he asked me to get to his dealership in the evening to pick up the Honda Navi for a full road test they have really nice and helpful staff over there so if you're looking to buy or maybe you are looking for a test drive of any of the Honda motorcycles in and around Kolkata I'll put up their number on screen and you can give them a call and tell them Ride With Rahul sent you. Last week, I was riding at 1300 cc Suzuki Hayabusa and this week I find myself with something unique... the 110 cc all new scooter motorcycle from Honda the Navi. the styling is the most unique part. I mean it has got the chassis of a scooter, the engine placement of a scooter but the styling of a motorcycle. and if you've seen the review of the Honda Grom which is somewhat the inspiration for the Navi, you know where this is coming from but that the Honda Grom, I mean, or the MSX125 is a motorcycle. It is a mini motorcycle whereas this is more of a scooter because this takes the engine and the platform both from the Activa but when you are looking at the styling part of it there are certain things which I love for example I really loved this part this is right out of the Grom's styling and it has got that Honda badging on top of it which is just a sticker job. The handlebar, if you're looking at the handlebar, it's a very thin basic handlebar but I really love that connection rod here and then you have a very simple console. No fuel gauge no trip meter just an odometer and a speedometer, no rpm meter (Tacho) as well so that's like right out of the old feel and if you're looking at the handlebar lock it's it's not in the console like it is in most bikes we ride these days it's right below there on the neck it's completely giving you a retro feel as well as I think that is some of the cost cutting which is seen on this motorcycle but when you are talking about the looks I mean the side body panels at the long the seat which is very comfortable by the way and you shape of this motorcycle kinda makes people noticed this is 39,500 a children barely and if you're buying a motorcycle in this breakthrough injury you have another option from budget which is a regular sized full-size motorcycle if I may say so it doesn't grab all that attention but yesterday when I walked into a pretty crowded Plaza everyone was asking about this bike and that the USP mean you're buying their get the attention and if you're if you're looking for that kind of attention then maybe it's a good idea so this is being targeted towards the youngsters and suppose someone's going to college and he doesn't have that much public transportation in algeria would be a very nice choice for this because he's into a Ford you know it would give him the attention it's kind of like a very young thing I wouldn't want a middle aged person writing the letter B dawg with its current price I think everybody will be riding it like I said people have a lot of curiosity about this motorcycle and I have to answer them the first thing which even I thought of is whether this is a schoolteacher auto motorcycle no I'm not talking about looks I'm not talking all features I'm just talking about the feel of it when you're riding a motorcycle what you basically have is the engine on the front area because the engine is on the back this gives the motorcycle a completely different dynamics for example the friend break which is usually strong in the motorcycles in this case it's the rear brake that's working well because the rain has more read on it bought the breaks are 130 mmm water drum brakes so the rear brake is working a lot stronger there is a tendency to lock up the rear brake if you go very hard at it but the friend break-in doesn't really have all led by Germany writing it within the city just using the friend Rick you can stop at Duane Reade 25 km/h if you're running around that on a high-speed you need to use both the brakes is just not stopping and the rig is playing a good amount of progress of breaking to stop this war initially it scared me because the school drama stopping instantly but then I got used to it I really like how much braking power I had any fav was in a panic braking situation I could stop this thing in a really really small amount of time now one bad thing I did find of you were doing a lot of open road and it was not the highway but the suburban area India which were testing the bike it had a lot of open roads and the wind the wind turbulence really unsettled the bike which is ok because you were doing speeds of over 60 km/h not higher than that but even there we could feel something something moving around now one thing could be that because this part is hollow some women may be getting into it the crosswinds and maybe on selling the bike a little bit more by creating an optimist that could be a point I'm not really sure one of the point would be its lightweight but that was really unsettling to us in the beginning God adjusted to it but on on high cross means this may be a little bit of a problem on the front and I was feeling that there was some sort of thing for me because it tires were keeping up very nicely america's provided nice to listen hard for this motorcycle or scooter whatever you want to call it i'd call but the ties of dripping Bayville so initially I had a problem meaning it into the corner and the bike trips into the corner pretty easily accolade dips into the chorus so fast that if you take away your left foot pressure on the pig to get the bike into the corner includes India fest so you have to really apply a little pressure and that is enough to bring the bike into corners gonna steven is not there I didn't feel that much but once you get used to it you can really relax the bike into the corner coax it into the corner and does pretty well most people with mobility this thing reminds me of a bicycle which means it's hard to leave lickable and even a drug year old boy taken polaroid distinguish ease and if you're talking about that turning radius got the shortest turning radius even imagine city riding with in traffic was absolute breeze because in your left hand is absolutely sitting idly it's very regular use any glad you're in left field you're right I was kind of getting value of if you'd kind of grand because you are completely stationary I'm not used to that I'm not I'm used to moving them around quite a while so what is radon 2011 once I got used to it makes wise one thing was that I initially did not like the position of the foot pegs which I was expecting a little bit towards the back because that's what we feel on the motorcycles on this one you know it's real friend but once you get used to it again if you're used to us it really easy for you to read this if you're used to a motorcycle it will take a little bit of adaptation the bar deliveries just a little bit slurred up so you don't get the instant travel exploration don't expect that 168 bhp basically and NCC but even with the billion it was having enough gold to get the job done many bad roads review and testing so we just went off road to test out the suspensions the front telescopic suspension is on the hardest side whereas the rear spring loaded hydraulic is on the soft side I would say does pretty well on off-road conditions but in case of arms the suspension does have a tendency to bottom out for the purpose it is serving I would say it's fine thing is that I've never felt pretty comfortable but scooters the reason is the Scorchers reels are too small I was expecting bigger wheels on the Navy Honda does delivered to avenge israel's compared to the ten inches rely on their cuba so that's one of the differences now the engine the power output the torque and the shower see all our team with the active at the same engine and the same platform styling is different but it does get some other changes as well it's seven kids is lighter than they are to us so the expression should be a bit more eager the tires are also different the front does a size smaller where the rare maintains the same size of the active it is not a complete motorcycle handling feel but it tries to do as much as it can for example the front get the telescopic suspension as on the active its hydraulic suspension on board the scooters or more recycled whatever you want to call them is the same spring loaded hydraulic another thing I like is it's it's a morning suspension it's a symmetric which is a nice touch I mean I really like the style in part of that I think it doesn't deliver a little bit more mileage than the active and we know that the activities about 60 kilometers per liter so I'm expecting at least 65 maybe on this 63 to 65 kilometers per liter I haven't tested it does doesn't come with the fuel gauge which is one of the biggest negatives actually talking about the fuel tank capacity in this is having some marron 3.82 for leaders of fuel tank capacity whereas the active as a five liter fuel tank capacity so that way I think that is a little more practical the active but I would like to tell you one thing that does come with a retro results which so it's not like you'll be running out of fuel because whenever you run out of fuel you still have you can donate to reserve a new law that you have read the results even if you cannot see the fuel gauge you will know when you open your about to run out of fuel so that's come touch another big point would be dead be upgradeable eg you can customize this Honda has promised more abortions in future and you wouldn't be able to change colors and everything on this bike which is all of them touch actually doesn't have that and if you're going for luggage space that's one of the team's why people buy scooters we generally get a good amount of luggage because I've seen people that he was a very barely reagan the story even a full face helmet some people do that but on the nav you do have some space below this I mean under the seat but it's almost as the same as a motorcycle which is to say doesn't end in March but you do have this nice to hear we tried placing a full face helmet in there it didn't go in you can place in a backpack other small items that would go in and you do have the option to buy a box a separate access free and she put it there so you can lock in something securely so that's an additional accessory I'm not sure of the price because it's not available in this room right now but you do have some storage talking about storage space back practicality I'd say this is more practical than a motorcycle but less than a school teacher and it is hundred-person fun if you're really looking forward to buying a Honda now be I would ask you to really go ahead and at least a good day is right
