That's a great combination of bikes you got on those trails. I love both and am stoked to see how they compare to each other. Thanks for taking us along on your rides. :)

This was a super fun video to watch, thanks for sharing. It also just so happens I rode this same trail on my WR250R a few years back.

Man, this was brutal! You guys did a first rate job getting through it. Those weren’t puddles, they were the Great Lakes!

I just finished the Mongolia Monkey Run riding a 49cc Skyteam ST50-8a. Very similar trails/tracks to this in parts. It's a real work out and the bikes hate soft sand and big rocks. It would have been a real blast with 125cc. Great video.

few people would have ever attempted that again, Honda should be paying you money incredibly well done incredibly well shared very much appreciated can only imagine how many days it will take you to recover from that workout I'm exhausted just watching thanks again for sharing with us

Audio was great. Not sure if I'd take that trip myself, but it was a lot of fun to watch. There were a hell of a lot of ROCKS

That monkey bike really take with ease that wild gravel for sure, mate..

Just got my Monkey last month. Found a great bunch of trails here in northern Michigan and love the maps on OnX Offroad. I also found out the Monkey hates deep sand. I was running with full pressure in my tires and just couldn't control it. Had a couple good falls and found out why people wear supportive boots. I thought I wouldn't get the bike off me for a while. My foot was twisted around under that darn air box. I'm kinda glad to hear your comments on the sand also. It makes me feel a bit better. We were down on the BR Parkway just a couple months ago though in a car. It's a beautiful place to ride.

Great vid guys- Ive got a TW myself and have fooled around on that trail up near the campsites but can't imagine running that whole trail from the bottom on the bike- just too rocky to truely enjoy unless you love super technical. I'll stick to my FJ for that one and those mud puddles. Anyways kudos- great job conquering that trail on those bikes- especially the Monkey! enjoyed the ride

New subscriber. Both these bikes were on my list when a guy just had to have my beloved Zuma. I just picked up a blue 2021 Monkey! It was my first of 57 bikes and it will be my last. Thanks

the monkey did a great job. Thank you Honda.

Very interesting vídeo. Thanks for posting. I wish we have the Monkeys in Brazil. Certanly i could have One of my own.

Good vid... bro!!!

The Kitaco skid plate will probably work if you extend the front bracket. It’s an easy fab. Simple “u” bracket that’s 1 inch longer. I use it with a hindle. .

Jeremy should stand up on the bike to get over stuff like the rock ledge - it allows for better balance. When you sit you get jerked around too much which throws off your balance! Looks like fun though 👍🏼😁

ya he got bucked pretty good, he's a new rider (this was his 1st "difficult" trail).

OK...you hooked me! Subbed!

Wow. I'm glad to be a new monkey owner after watching this video!

Tell your buddy to stand up more often and he won't get bucked all over the place. lol

I have to take the Himalayan up there soon!

I find watching someone conquer rough terrain like this on a bike we all wonder "Will it make it?! " so much more intriguing vs someone on a full sized ADV bike cruising on through it effortlessly. You going where no man has gone before on a lil' yellow fellow makes for a much more exciting viewer experience. Look forward to watching your adventures every time and it makes our day. And makes me want to call out sick to go ride my Monkey too 🤧🐒🛵🤠

jeremy,, tip...set the throttle,,,control speed with clutch when going through water.

Good shit 👍🏼

If I could make a suggestion, I really want to see you, on the Monkey tackling terrain like this.. I appreciate the helmet cam footage but I find it much more enjoyable to visualize you riding from a 3 person point of view. Again, this is simply just my opinion and I, too, understand that would be much harder to film.

As long as he bring friend that exclusively to record him, I think he can do it. Problem is, bringing friend to have some fun together can be different with a friend to record his journey. His filming friend need to have better bike for this kind of situation, better equipment, and must well prepared too. Which is, leading to more budget to spend. But, if he can do that, it will be amazing!

With the complaints of the smaller rims and tires would you suggest waiting for the Cub trail 125?

@UncleVoodoo

4 жыл бұрын

yes and no. the CT125 will have a few advantages over the Monkey (wheel size, rack and intake) but it also has a couple of downsides where the Monkey will leave it for dead (auto clutch and low top speed). it will come down to the rider's needs as to which one would be better for the task at hand. while the wheel size advantage would've helped with the rocks here, the auto clutch would've led to having to push/drag/walk the bike in more situations (steep climbs and mud for example). clutch finesse is a very useful capability to have off road. plus the high 40s /low 50s top speed might limit whether id be willing to make the journey to reach a trail like this as well. its a double edged sword.

R Miller I’m still curious about it myself. These are just my uninformed musings based upon what I can gather thus far. It’s pluses will surely outweigh the minuses depending what someone intends to do with it. I actually hope I’m wrong about the top speed.

I just rewatched 'Honda CT125 Standard Top Speed'. The average top speed for the most part on his GPS read 82-86ish KM = 50 to 52ish MPH? And my brain recalls something I read where it was said the CT125 was geared for more slower torquey riding and sacrificed some top end speed to do so. It will still be a very cool mini moto, but as you said the Monkey prevails as a better all arounder in that arena.

So which should I buy for this type of riding? The Monkey or the TW200?

When you're in the sand you can deair your tires. Instead of plowing sand you'll float over the top of it. Course you got to reair on pavement.

To much Monkey business 😉😀

Sounds like it’s geared too tall for those trails. A lower gearing would allow you to run slower and maybe not pound the exhaust so much.

It's already geared down, I'm prob going back to stock gearing today.

You should turn off the stabilization and mount the gopro to the bike for a about 30 seconds so your viewers see how crazy it is. From our point of view it looks smooth and easy :)

They have small differences, swapping between them isnt a bolt on affair. The transmission is the biggest difference.
