Honda Navi review, road test

Honda's newest fledgling comes in the form of a motorcycle-scooter crossover that derives inspiration from the Grom – the larger, 125cc sibling of the Navi. Now, never mind all the swanky sports bikes dawdling awkwardly around the city. This little motorcycle-scooter crossover attracts a serious amount of attention wherever it goes. People seem to be drawn instantly by its outlandish appearance. It is a polarising design, and people either profess the desire to own one or to dismiss it as an abomination entirely. It’s quite fascinating to watch the expressions on people’s faces as they try to decipher why there’s a gaping hole where the engine should be. Most speculations lean toward the Navi being an electric motorcycle. The Navi, however, has all the underpinnings of a scooter. It’s easy to ride; offers excellent manoeuvrability and its sense of smallness will have you squeezing through the tightest of gaps. Nonetheless, should you pick one, especially over its more established sibling?
