“From
the original Cub to the Grom, Honda has a proud legacy of producing miniMOTO
models that open doors to new riders, and the Navi is set to extend that trend
even further,” said Brandon Wilson, Sports & Experiential Manager at
American Honda.
“This
miniMOTO checks all the boxes for new riders, like simple operation, a fun
design, low operating costs and Honda reliability – all for well under $2,000.
We’re pleased to make motorcycling possible for more riders by offering the
Navi in the U.S,” he added.
The
Navi will be on display at this weekend’s IMS Outdoors motorcycle show in Costa
Mesa, California, where it will also be among the models included in the
Motorcycle Industry Council’s Ride With Us Moto Intro experience, giving new
riders an opportunity to try motorcycling.
Somewhat
of a mix between Honda’s Ruckus and Grom (each of which is popular enough to
have developed its own subculture), the Navi has the styling of a motorcycle
and some convenience features of a scooter, including Honda’s V-Matic automatic
transmission – just twist the throttle to go! It’s all wrapped up in an
appealing miniMOTO package that’s fun and easy to personalize, for example with
Honda Accessory graphics produced in collaboration with Icon.
The
Navi also has an amazingly low MSRP and gas-sipping performance, putting it
within reach of almost any customer. With Honda’s proven quality and
reliability, it’s also a dependable way to get around town – far more
convenient than public transportation or carpooling. There’s never been a
better way for new riders to discover just how enjoyable, convenient and
practical motorcycling can be.
