The Honda Activa is almost like the default national scooter of India. Used by all age groups - from commuting to mom's ferrying kids to lug groceries and farm produce in the villages, the Activa is bullet proof reliable. Oh, and much love from Bangalore, India.

This thing looks like a load of fun, and actually pretty practical for smaller trips to the store with that little storage space! That 110mpg may come in handy with the way gas prices are going right now.

I love how Honda is starting to offer automatic motorcycles across the range. We have the NC700/750, Africa Twin, Rebel 1100 and now this little guy, the Navi. Would be interesting to see them making other mid-size bikes (250-600cc). Anything to get more people riding and enjoying life on two wheels!

I been riding for 58 yrs and after riding my son's wife's new Navi, I believe Anyone can ride one! They handle great, Low center of gravity, yet, adult sized! I regret they didn't have them in 1963 when I started

When you have kids all who want to ride bikes, the Navi is a great entry point to get them confidence on the road. Less stress for mom and dad, when they have the need for speed. Then you can upgrade to the manual and higher CC for them if they have the maturity to do so.

We bought one of these Navi's to get around our little village and its amazing! Love this little bike! However, be aware of dealer fees. It is true that the MSRP is $1807, but after the deal bends you over, the out the door cost was $3,297 (in Florida).

Amanda. I am super happy Honda reached out to you to perform a demo and provide you with an opportunity to give your opinion. I would much prefer comments from you rather than traditional advertising. You are down to earth, humble and respectful. Keep up the great work.

I think that the navi being automatic definitely makes it more likely to get new riders to try it. Sometimes I forget people may not have rode a bike with a clutch or may not have rode at all when they were a kid.

You and Jess have definitely got me thinking about this little bike. I have thought about buying a golf cart to get around town but this thing is cheaper than a used golf cart that I would have to put lights on and mirrors to make street legal. Great review Amanda! I think like you that it would be a total blast to take one of those off road.

I started on a 50cc Vespa, my wife had a 50cc Buddy. We have since moved to a PCX 150 and a Forza 300. As a starter motorcycle, the Navi initially looks pretty reasonable, but I think the PVC with its larger wheels and a bit more power would be better. Wins in storage space as well. The Navi is cute, yes, but realistically no more useful than the Vespa 50 was. Price is fantastic though. Just a quick 2 cents

I work for Honda Australia, its my personal opinion that these would sell really well here. just ask anyone who wants a small CC scooter like bike.

Cool vid!! I think this is gonna be a huge hit for Honda - def would like to see a slightly fatter back tire - i can already tell you the automatic feature is spot on for attracting and making it big fun for new riders
