      Hi, I didn’t find it hard long distance riding on Monkey. Yes it’s slow and small fuel tank, but it didn’t bother us. Siting position is ok for me. Don’t take my word for granted, I only pass my motorcycle licence in February so have little to zero experence. I would recomend test riding Monkey and see if it works for you.

      Hi, no rack on the bike as standard, but you have a lot of aftermarket choice in any shape or colour. Space is limited, but it’s depends what you planning to carry. For me did work 1 bag (7kg) for 2.5 weeks, but for others that may not be enough.

I teach at a small school attached to a foster home for boys aged from 11 to 18 who have had a pretty poor start to life and find mainstream education difficult. We currently have 6 boys in total. Is it possible that you and your riding partner night be willing to come and have a chat with the boys and let them see how you planned and actually completed the journey. You don't have to make a massive presentation just actually answer questions and go through your own videos. I find that they just need some inspiration and they love this kind of stuff. Last guy to visit was Ed March. Hoping you can help. Stuart Lloyd - Himalayan and SV 650 owner.
