There are two highlights about this mini-bike. One is that the straddle bike mentioned above has a CVT transmission, and the other is that it comes with a storage box that can be opened by the car key for storing small items. And for the design of this space, put in the triangle of fuel tank and front wheel, the use of space is worthy of Honda, let a person can not help but think, is not the big straddle motorcycle can also be designed in this way? (Honda already has a reputation for making good use of space in small cars, cutting space in small sizes.)



Navi, as a new mini motorcycle of Honda, is priced at about $1800 in Europe and America, which is not cheap if converted into RMB, but it is believed that there will still be many buyers in China. That's the lowest price for a Honda mini, lower than the Grom and Monkey, and it's a straddle.
