    Yup. $27 for each side panel and $3 for the headlight shroud lol.

    I gotta remind folks though, if you need to go above 45 mph for an extended period, a Navi is the wrong choice haha.

    I had my old scooter up to 30 and it wasnt bad. Had the z125 up to 50 and still not bad either. Hills are not recommended

    I remember renting a scooter in South Beach (with my wife on the back) ending up on a highway thinking “this is slightly unsafe”

    I’d say get a windscreen but it would be hard to tuck behind it lol

    I think the highway part was unsafe, especially with 2 people?

    I remember thinking that when I took the z125 on a 50mph road with pretty big upsweeping hills, in light rain. I was basically riding the white shoulder line, and waving anyone in my mirror to pass me

    Honda makes an OEM "windscreen" but its like, 4 inches high and I can't see it doing a whole lot besides looks. The highest speed limit in town is 35, me getting up to 45 or 50 is only when I'm trying to do top speed runs lol working on tuning the roller weights so those have happened a decent amount lately but definitely won't be a common occurrence once I find the sweet spot for weights.

    Also, I know it's a bummer but have to point it out.. out the door price will be closer to $2300 at least. $1807+Honda's $300 freight surchage+taxes/title/rego/plate/whatever.

    Yeah.. stock weight is 17g and is a turd to accelerate. I bought two other weights, 11 and 15g so I could theoretically try out 17, 16, 15, 13, and 11g by mixing and matching. I currently have 13g in and it accelerates great, but I think I lost a few mph on the top end. Might go back to 15g for an in between. It takes maybe 15 minutes to swap them around? Pull the airbox, pull the cvt cover, zip off the nut holding on the drive face, and pull the guts out. Reassemble and zip around.

    I got way too into it the other week, with a graph and gps imported data and everything:

    You're on the cutting edge of Navi upgrading/tuning!

    No no no no no haha there are people that have already spent more than the bike itself cost on upgrading the clutch, variator, weights, intake, exhaust, complete carb swaps, etc. Freaking putting ohlins on it. I have zero plans to go that far with it. I am perfectly fine knowing it's just for putting around town and grabbing beer from the store haha

    modding CVTs is no new art form

    racing cvt scooters is a very big thing around the world

    not justs scooters either, modding CVTs has long been a thing with sleds

    Could always get it wrapped too. As small as a Navi is, it prob would be pretty cheap to do any color(s) you like.
