New bike

Picked this up today 2022 with 90 miles. Too cheap to pass up and way more fun than I expected.

The Navi looks like so much fun and is insanely cheap. Let us know how you like it.

It’s a blast. I haven’t rode it far but 45 is cruising speed and the hills are no problem. I don’t know why people hate on them like they do.

I’d pick one up if I could find one less than 2k. Why the heck not?

I got this one for a song. And 91 miles. Only thing that sucks is someone removed the mirrors. They are cheap though.

I have a friend thats got the wants bad for one of those in the darker green. (already has 5 bikes). reading, some people are paying like 5k (?) otd at dealerships which is insane. IMHO, it looks like a grom that needs to go back in the oven and finish baking, but i get it.

Mine was less than half the price of a ruckus and bigger and faster. Never wanted for one, or for a grom for that matter but I couldn’t pass it up.

Great find!

I was thinking about getting one when they first came-out (I like unique vehicles) but couldn't justify the expense for a bike which wouldn't get a lot of use. Though now that I'm camping more one would make a nice addition to my Camper for rides around the lake...

I just checked and used ones in my area are still asking ~2,000-2,500. Bummer, still too much to justify but if I come across the right one at the right price, it still may happen one day!

BTW i used to have a Gen 1 Honda Grom (2015). I loved it! My first bought-new MC, I put 3,000 miles on it in five years or so. I truly regret selling that bike and may get another one day.

Honestly, I really thought hard about it and I wouldn't get one unless it was secondhand. The "why not" is the proportion of the cost that goes to dealer fees is too high to me, and the speeds around here are also too high. I need my motorcycles to be faster than my electric unicycle, and that can go 48 mph.

That's the main reason why I haven't gotten a Navi and why I sold my Grom a few years ago. Where I used to live there were two canyon roads with 35 MPH speed limits on them and I enjoyed riding the Grom on them regularly. Then I moved to a place where we have another canyon road (much longer) about 15 minutes from me, but the speed limit is 60, though people regularly go faster then that out there. The Grom stopped getting time to play in the canyons so it went away and got replaced by a larger bike which handles that canyon road a lot better.

All that said if I could find one in reasonable shape for a decent price, I'd buy another one. If my GF had even the slightest bit of interest in riding I'd buy her a Navi today.
