Love my Monkey! Bulletproof and a joy to ride. This thing will out-live me. I'll be handing it down to my kids when I'm gone.

That rear trunk is amazing 🤩

My dad was lucky enough to find a Monkey that will be delivered at the end of the month. It's going to be fantastic. I have a pretty heavily modified Honda Grom (mx125). I can't wait to go cruising with my dad on our mini bikes!!!! These mini bikes are rather hard to get in the states because of there popularity.

Purchasing this as my first bike, using it as a commuter/pleasure bike. Can't wait to get it !!

Finding one is the biggest challenge currently.

I bought one in 2021 and love it. But I can't believe you have to remove two bolts to take off the seat rather than a flip lever and there is no kick start. Keep riding folks.

Hahahahaha. I'm going to trade in an old rebel and put the monkey next to my Ducati desert sled.

We got a great deal on 2 from a guy here in the states that got them for he and his wife but she didn't want them so now I have 2 with 50 miles on them. Plant are to set up a rack on the motor home and use them at swap meets and at big campgrounds instead of old timer mopeds or golf carts. In many campgrounds you cannot drive carts because of not being able to register them. Just picked them up 2 weeks ago so should be fun.

Hi, thank you for your review of the Honda monkey. Im looking to move from cycling to work to a motorcycle. I haven't ridden a motorcycle since l was 15, lm 60 now and a bit unsure about the idea at the moment. Im a very small female hence the choice of the monkey (or a grom)

when my wife asked me to pick up some milk I could not have a better friend :D or just the fact I live next to the sea 20 mins on the Monkey and Hvaler island in summertime is the place to be :)

I remember your first ride video 😀

Monkey Magic! Never use alarm -... I figure if someone wants it, they'll chuck in the back of a car. Generally use messenger bag but managed to get a yellow box for occasional use. Mirror extenders and rear shocks are a must to handle my muscular physique 😄

The biggest problem I can see with Honda is that they have the Monkey, the Grom, and now in the USA, the Navi. It's a case of too many good bikes to choose from. Please don't say, get them all, I'm not that rich. 😁 EDIT: Monkey came out as money, I fixed that, but stupid auto-correct.
