Honda Navi! An interesting two wheeler design from the Honda, First up, the name is very unique and sounds youthfull, this was a well kept secret by the Honda team, there were no leaks, spyshots or whatsoever of the navi on the internet prior to the launch.
Speaking about the design, the Honda navi is a drastically new design to any other two wheeler we have seen on the Indian two wheeler market, Its smart, its funky and what even makes it different are the customisability which honda offers on the new "Navi".The design seems to be a mix of a scooter and a geared bike, there is a little space under the fuel tank which can be quite useful, it also has a single rear shock absorber as the honda activa.Honda has created a new segment with the Navi. Coming to the drivetrain, its the same engine we are used to seeing on the hugely popular honda activa and also carries a similar CVT gearbox and the drivetrain positioning is also the same as seen on the Honda activa.It is said to return a decent fuel economy of 55-60 kmpl According to Honda the navi is targeted on first time young owners who are looking for a funky and stylish little package and the navi seems to be just that
Speaking about the pro’s, the navi looks extremely eyecatching and unique, which the youth get attracted to, and the customising capability is very high so that everyone can make their own navi look diferent from others, and the icing on the cake is the price which is a liitle over 40, 000 rupees ex-showroom Delhi
getting to the con’s, the proportions are a little to small for larger guys to hop on, and the second is the fuel tank capacity, which is between 4-5 litres.
The verdict is, it is a sweet little package with minimal flaws, if you can live with the above stated cons, go book a Honda Navi from your nearest Honda showroom
