The Monkey was/is a limit edition even before gas prices , each dealership only gets 1-4 once or twice a year .I just paid my registration for a year for 24 bucks but surprise it was for two years ! I pay 18 bucks a month for full coverage insurance too !
I wanted one last fall and had my name on it and someone else took it.i wanted it for camping too.small enough to take in an rv,van,etc.or by myself. So jealous,have fun! Thanks for the ride!
I enjoyed watching the "Maiden Voyage"! Looks like fun! Some people say they had problems not breaking in an engine but I think they should be like cars now. It seamed like it took for ever to break in my boat motor but $6,000 isn't cheap. Now you need a bunch of friends to ride with you that have Monkeys that would look cool seeing that come over a hill or horizon! Stay cool and have fun.
Nostalgic product takes me back 50 years. Elections having consequences is a realistic apolitical statement. We will be joining you shortly in the Great State of Arizona having just closed on our 2nd property and building #3. The Monkey, Trail and Grom are all great little bikes. I too would look for an MSRP Dealer and am not in a hurry. Looking forward to an occasional break from the H-D to a purposeful fun little bike. I very much enjoy all of the content. I initially stumbled upon your channel for reloading. God Bless and safe travels.
I loved your video. I hope to pick mine up in a couple days. I wish you would not have made comments on voting and politics. That has nothing to do with this bike. Thanks for a great video.
I’m about 235 pounds and my 2020 Monkey hauls me around just fine. As you said, it’s not for the interstate, but it’ll handle county roads and around town well enough. It really does very well off-road with a set of nobbies on it. I took mine for a spin today, and it always feels good to ride it. For those mirrors, get yourself a set of mirror extensions off of eBay. I did that and it made a world of difference. I passed through AZ on I-40 on my Harley Road Glide at the end of February on my way from Los Angeles to Colorado. I always love traveling in AZ. Great place to ride, listen to music, and check out the nooks and crannies along the way. 👍🏻 Edited to add: I just watched your mirror extension video, so never mind my note on those. You already know their value. 😉
Greets from Germany...I have a Monkey 2020, a 14 theeth sprocket... almost same weight :-( and my Monkey makes 65 to 68 miles...always. I love the bike!
From what I've read, the speedometer reading comes from the transmission. You changed your sprocket, but your transmission doesn't know it. You only THINK you're going faster.
@@fahey6797 Hi Idak, no I measured by GPS. The spedometer is 10 km upfront, means it shows 113 km an hour it is 103 in real...the highest speed on normal road (not downwards.,sorry I am German, hope you understand) was 121 km/h on the speedo, equals 110 km equals 68,3 miles per hour ...cheers
Hi From Ireland. 4 Dollars a gallon, in the u.s. in Ireland it is 9 Dollars and 46 cents. so you have a ways to go to catch up with us, any way Love your reviews on the Honda Monkey and ct 125 I Hope to Import the ct 125 from japan, keep up the Good Work.
@@jiujitsu2000 is likely they are a low volume dealer that is allocated a few Monkeys. I asked a local dealer here in California about a yamaha bike he said I probably won't even be allocated even one bike for his inventory. Vehicles are in short supply, so low volume dealers do outrageous makeups. I'm glad you went elsewhere.
Better change oil before a hundred and again before 200 hundred and again before REAL break in ..alot of metal meshing in and needs cleaned out at the beginning, make sure to clean screen also. I gotta grom, looking for monkey but none to be had
These bikes are selling for $7500 up here in Canada. And they are all taken. And the ones coming in have deposits on them already. Last yr dealerships only got 2 bikes. This year they only got about 6 to 8 each from the ones I've talked to... So very limited run for us up here
Sir I’m from Texas, what is heavy diesel? I only know off road diesel here, same as heavy? Towing repo company feels the diesel though today. 5.20-5.30 here in San Antonio….. I’m buying a monkey……
Wow 45mph just cruisin. Nice and quiet. I wonder if honda powersports knows your sellin their bikes. Lol. Btw yeah... thats what happens when you vote thru the mail... lgb.
@@jiujitsu2000 thank you ,I am almost 70,got the adv150.feel it's too heavy,may trade for the trail.i can wrangle that better.sat on one in the store, feel like I need a seat belt,lol.used to having bike between my legs.was wanting a monkee
The bike looks really useful but I can almost guarantee that you will get run over--- almost intemtionally--- if you take that thing on any highway in south Mississippi... Very cool bike, though- Thatd probably be a good one to take with you if you do the camper/ rv thing.
I like these mini motos like monkeys and grooms but they made the engine to small. I would like something that can comfortably do 55mph so I got a pcx150. Really wish these guys had a 175-200cc engine.
@@joecamel6835 good given the review only mentioning front abs I thought that they stopped the dual channel abs. The comment on abs being confusing for Americans was a quote from a Texas Honda dealer
` have enjoyed your candid observations ... and appreciation for God's creations. I'm curious, though ... why not just use your DR650 for running about town as well as exploring/sightseeing etc. ? How can the difference in gas mileage between the DR650 vs. Monkey justify $5k for another bike? ... just curious as to the rationale?
Watch for potholes. Lol. A trailer would be nice... fun fact.. the bike weighs as much as you. Wierd. Cant wait til someone turns one into a chopper. Lol. 200cc jug? Bigger throttle body & tune? Turbo? Hmmmm.
Got one coming with my name on it. Takes me back to my old ct70 days. I don’t care if gas is $6 or $3 a gallon, the Monkey bike is just cool.

As someone who rides a human powered bicycle most of the time, those speeds sound just fine. 100 mpg is really something.

Do you prefer the monkey or the trail 125?
Both are excellent. Personally,,, I like the tail 125 more. The monkey is a little faster though

Nice eval, excepting his ignorant political comment re gas prices. Presidents dont have any control over gas prices. Face palm.
