  • 250 Mile 2023 Honda Monkey Review as I join the guys at West Coast Harley Davidson, taking out the new 2023 Harley Demos to scrub in the tyres doing a 60 mile loop round the North of Glasgow just south of Loch Lomond heading for Sano in Finnieston for Pizza. Can the Monkey keep up???

    Just picked up my Monkey 6/13/2023 and I am 80 years of age ( no lie ) and rode it 50 miles the first day and it is so easy to ride, very stable and accelerates far better than expected. I will have this bike until the end. But, until then will ride and ride and ride.

    As a monkey owner.. I told you they're a riot! I rode mine to John o groats twice last year. 400 mile round trip for me, they're brilliant bikes and a riot to ride. Glad you enjoyed it mate, that's why I bought mine!
