Basically a scooter with plastics to make it look more like a regular motorcycle, the gas and go would make it pretty pokey I imagine but still fun to bomb around on no doubt.

Agree on the lack of chinese bikes here in Canada, I can't even get Venom's dual sport motorcycle page to load when I click on the links in the other threads. I remember when I had my Gio quads and Konker KSM200 there were a few chinese bikes being sold here, but they've all dried up since.

I sat on a Navi today when i was at the dealership to ask more questions as they are similar seat height to the Grom with a slightly longer wheelbase then the Grom. It felt comfortable, Could do with a bar riser for a bit more upright riding position but im sure i could also get that by rotating the bars back a bit as well. Im reasonably sure the Grom would be similar in that regard. The Salespeople and one of the mechanics recommended the Grom or Monkey over the Navi to me due to me being a slightly heavier rider.



As for chinese bikes drying up im trying to remember when was the last time i even seen a Gio pop up on Kijiji.

Unfortunately from what i could find out Lifan is no longer available in Canada as of 2014 when they ran into some EPA troubles here (Think VW Dieselgate level here)
