I've always loved the looks and styling of the Monkey. I've never ridden one thou. It seems to me it should be more comfortable than my Spade because that seat looks really comfortable. It's beautiful little bike. Kudos to the owner of the Monkey. Good video. I am always looking forward to seeing your videos.
Great video. I have the red 2023. I agree 100%, they should have installed a retro analog speedometer with a tac. Also, should be 175 to 250cc instead of 125cc. The rev limiter kicks in way to easily, especially in 1st gear. It needs more torque and a little more top end. As it stands, you can easily get ran over making a right or left turn from a stop. The seat should have hinges on it with a prop. Finally, the U.S version should have the European tail light and signals or similar. Honda missed an opportunity here on all of the above. The positives, it looks great, it rides excellent.
The monkey is sexy for sure! I have a 2023 honda trail, absolutely love that bike, did the Arkansas section of the TAT on it, had a blast with only one issue. The SEAT! It's stupid uncomfortable, I will absolutely be getting it reupholstered. After that I'll have zero complaints
Brother , been riding hondas since 78, My Navi is my 7th bike brother I did my research, and there are so many inexpensive upgrades, I'm 5'9" 260 lbs, popped me right up to 50 mph no problen , still breaking in engine so didn't rap her out. My friend this is a fun mini moto worthy of your attention. I look forward to seeing your vids. Subbed
Kyllähän nyt kevytmoottoripyörältä odottaa että se edes sen satasen menisi. Kun viritetyt kakstahti mopotkin menee tuon verran. Mutta, kyllähän tuolla liikkuu paikasta toiseen.

Thanks! I’m trying to try a bunch of different bikes to help show people what is better or worse. If you have any suggestions let me know

Totally agree!
I am 5'5" do you think this bike is a good size for me? I wonder how much trouble I will have with full size bikes.
This bike would be a great size for you. But there are some 300-400cc bikes you would fit on fine as well.
How tall are you and what’s your weight? Thx

Nice
The handle bars are tilted down on the one you are riding.
Go to know!
Xr 150l review please
I just sat on one at the Honda Dealership last week. It fit me really well. Only downside is that it’s carbureted.
Great video though.
Ièm thinking of a scooter or minimoto next year. Lack of engine breaking and no gear display-not good. Ièm 165 lbs and 5ft 10.
Have you seen my videos on my Kymco Spade? Engine breaking is great but lacks gear indicator.
@@MidgetMoto I will check it out-keeping all my options open. Even thinking of CF moto bikes.
@@johndefalque5061 I just released a video on a CF Moto 700 today. Check it out!
I still have 3 Yamaha keyboards!
Ooh I like MOnkeys, mine goes 75 🙈🙉🙊🐵
What did you do for mods and how much do you weigh?

@@Monkey-biz love the info!
Needs a rear luggage rack!
I made a new completely custom sissy bar/ rear rack for my Kymco Spade. I will be releasing 2 videos on it next week!
@@MidgetMoto I love Yamaha far more than Honda!
@@johndefalque5061 I have not ridden a Yamaha yet.
You must ride Yamaha-Madaha is Chinese for crazy. I had a Yamaha 750 Maxima-better than both the Honda 360 twin and 200 Xl dirtbike I had.
Wow. Never heard of that bike I’ll have to check it out!
