How far will $20 take you on a mini 125cc Honda Monkey motorcycle?(It's INSANE!)
Here's the idea... These mini-motos are getting crazy MPGs, so how far would one be able to take you with a 20 dollar bill? That's the big question and we've been dying to find out! #Honda #monkey #moskomoto #cardo #motovlog

Duuuude, that is freaking BADA$$ 517mi on $20!?!?! Haaaa, I'm over here in my 6.2L LS denali laying down single digit gas mileage like she's a tank for sure and has all the soccer ballz with 500hp/500tqe (obviously not to the tires but with minor bolt on power adders and a tune) tons of fun however even if I'm nice to it I'm not even close to 10mpg I believe I average 6mpgs smh! The cool part is with having all-time AWD n zero traction issues I'm able to smoke the brand new dodge cars/trucks (obvs not the hellkitty's) and most stuff that pulls up next to me and sees the only two stickers I have for the MBRP exhaust so either they wanna hear it or they're wondering if the tank is able to move out lol either way they always seem to want to challenge me which I graciously accept then promptly blow their doors off 😂 my buddy has a manual trans Hemi charger a bit older one super nice car sounds great but he cannot come within a bus length of my rear bumper when I drop the skinny pedal... Again though, gas mileage hahaha yeah whats that never heard of it? 🤔🤷♂️😝🥴🤦♂️

That camp host was so awesome. People love to see a motorcyclist on a crazy adventure. This is why you should be open to a conversation with everyone that you meet on your motorcycle trips. You never know where it might lead you.

She said we family’s to enjoy it and not have to spend money..that’s an awesome gesture
I get anywhere between 120 to 130 mpg on a 23' Honda Trail 125, I spend about $3.20 per filling - about 1.2 gallons - once a week, so for a 4 week month that's about 13 bucks. So $20 covers a whole month and another 2 weeks worth of gas. Never in my life have I ever spend so little on gas until I got my Trial. I love my Honda Trail.

16:30 what an amazingly kind woman to offer these roadies free camp on her grounds
This video popped up on my recommended list last night, and I just wanted to say thanks, I was up till 4 am watching your channel and now I’m at work on 2 hours of sleep and I’ve spent my entire day researching used bikes and planning a route following the coast of the Great Lakes, from Detroit to Niagara Falls into Canada then back to wibdsor and up and around Thunder Bay and then Duluth, then through the UP and down the west coast of Michigan ….great channel, thanks for the inspiration and making my day extremely long today
Camping lady is so awesome. Hooking up riders. Big shoutout to her.
Dude, wtf! Man I was rewatching your last video and was thinking that they’re really well done. They are recorded and edited with obvious care and talent and I bet you could really do well with more content. Tony being without rain gear, or almost any gear period is a laugh, fuck sakes man!

He only did 517 miles on 20 dollars. The return trip and a little more was probably another 20 dollars depending on wind being at his back going home. I had a monkey for a while before trading for a WR250R.

@@Motodoggo_ No. He spent $20 and made 517 miles on that amount. You would need to know exactly how much gas he pumped into the motorcycle in order to learn the miles per gallon. If he got the gas for 3.50 per gallon that would mean he burned 5.71 gallons. 517/5.71=90.5 mpg. When I had my monkey bike I got between 85-110 mpg depending on how hard I rode and the quality of fuel. The total trip this guy took was 1092 miles. He probably got even better than 90.5 mpg coming back because he had a north wind pushing him.

@@LuciferMorningstar-wk8qu Ok. Motodoggo erased the comment where his math was a little off. I have no idea what this man’s mpg was on his monkey because he clearly stopped at three different if not four different gas stations. I doubt he paid 3.50 a gallon all three or four times he stopped. It looked as though he pegged it a few times, but other times it looked like he was going slower. If your Vulcan gets that good a gas mileage and you want to get better then the monkey would be a step down. I only get about 68 mpg on my wr250r, I am lucky to get 45mpg on my GSA1200.
Every person in this video was gold, also that lil honda having 0 issues being rode like that is nuts.

Dude I’m so glad this got recommend to me! This video was great and you definitely earned a subscriber! I’m from Illinois so I know how Iowa feels, I love going north but I’ve only been to the north shore once. You’re making me want a mini again!
Really great video! Truly look forward to more stuff like this!
This is the kind of content I love. MotoCamping is one of my favorite things.
I rode a 235-mile round trip on a Yamaha Zuma 50cc the same day. It's one of my favorite rides. Rides like you are doing are the ones you always remember. Great job...✌️
Great video. Your channel came up on my recommendations. Definitely subscribed. Look forward to future vids. I have a 2023 Honda Trail 125. It has been the best bike I have ever owned. Way more fun than bigger bikes.
Ive always loved these kind of videos. If you keep your level of authusiasm then ill be with you all the way man. Thanks for your video
I put knobby tires on my Grom and lost tons of MPG. If you run street tires, they are lighter and you will pick up MPG and a bit of top end. I switched back to street tires. Great vid!!

Fantastic video, you deserve way more support! You should make a video about all your gear if you havent already! (What backpack, camera/mic setup, safety gear, where you get your maps!)

Fun adventure. Hope you enjoyed your time in Minnesota and come back soon. I got me a Honda ADV160 and intend to do the same kind of inexpensive 2 wheel touring.
I’ve watched 3 minutes into this video and I must say using a traditional map riding a “vintage style” bike is so bad to the bone man! I’ve wanted a monkey cuz I want a bike I can handle and I mainly want something for in town but it’s cool to see it’s able to take on some back roads pretty well! (Mind me asking your weight? Just curious cuz I’m a bit bigger looks like you were able to hit 59/60 on that downhill)

Great video idea. That camp host lady was cool, letting you two camp for free. I am a fellow Iowan in Cedar Rapids. My current and first motorcycle is a 2022 Royal Enfield Himalayan. I think when I retire and sell my car, the garage will support 4 more bikes. 😊

A chain that loose can double over and lock your wheel. Leatherman and a crescent wrench for the little stuff. Looked like fun! Drove a Honda 90 Sport from Yakima to Moses Lake in '64' at night. Two lane but the moon was bright! Thanks for the memory brother!

"This beer isn't doing it for me! Let me drive my motorcycle to get better beer!" lmao
A cross country road trip without interstates is on my bucket list! I just can't do it on a motorcycle anymore.
It's not the size of the bike on the adventure, it's the size of the adventure done with the bike. I love all of these tiny bikes; TW200, the Honda Mini-Moto stuff, VanVan. All great little bikes. The next step up is still fun too; Versys-X 300 and 390 Adventure both offer just a little more performance and still similar smiles per mile.
Looked and Sounded like you both had a blast, minus the raid of course.
Welcome to Canada buddy ! What a hell of a realy nice road trip on Monkey !! So far so nice !! What about your dual sports tires and the highway run ? Just insane i like that kind of business trip !! Thanks for sharing bud !

Awesome video. I think I'm going to add a Honda monkey to my collection.
Amazingly awesome!
Should've really put a smaller rear sprocket on for a long distance mileage challenge. You ride right through my mom's town she lives in. That was cool I've ridden those roads and highways for decades. It's the perfect ride to me and I've traveled most of the Florida to Minnesota road trip routes. You should've stayed along the West side of Minnesota it's way better!
That's an impressive little bike. I would look like a bear on a tricycle but it definitely wouldn't stop me from enjoying myself, I'd luv to try something like this. I dig your vibe, fun video. I'll definitely come back for more. 😁👍

Heyyyyy I live in Rochester MN and you showed up in my feed. This is really cool. 18:15
I’ve road-tripped to the southern US, eastern seaboard, multiple times, and once to the Arctic Ocean in Canada. I just started riding last year and have been dying to just go west without a destination. After seeing this I want to go so much more now. But, being from Indiana, I should probably do a loop of Michigan first, baby steps lol. Only been to Detroit twice, and Grand Rapids once. Heard it’s got some great scenery! Awesome video! Last time I crossed into Canada they searched my car 😂
Awesome video, I have a Kaswasaki ZX6R but I really want a Honda Monkey as a second bike. If only I could afford a second bike rn lol
Real nice video, if you want a better mpg change to street tires :D
I’m really surprised at the little Monkey going that far on $20.00. It just goes to show, that you don’t have to have a Big Bike to have fun and see the World. I’m thinking about downsizing from my R1200GS, to a Honda CRF450L? Something like that, I may have it wrong, but I think a Honda 450 would actually be more fun. I would definitely have to do something about the Seat though for longer Trips. I just came across this Video randomly. Subscribed. 👍👍😁
I love how this changed from "we just goin" to "Shiiiittt... do we go to Canada???" ahahaha so entertaining... making me really miss my grom though
Good show!
Time to give the monkey a bit of TLC, loved being part of your journey
That little lady has a beautiful heart.
I wish the UK was more like this, petrol is more expensive, campsites never give nights for free (atleast not the ones I’ve been to). Just looks like such a chill way to spend a weekend or something
Great video. I always wanted to try going cross country on a scooter. Mabey I will now.

As a Monkey owner, I obviously love this kind of Monkey content. I've never done better than 105mpg on my 2023.
Dude do this again it looks like so much fun
Dude the age of the map made me laugh. Cause I'd do the same. and figure roads don't move that often. Then remember looking at some of my grandpa's road maps. And telling him. Hey there is lake/river system here, now. Yeah humans built it and moved it. subbed
Too weird - a job recruiter hit me up about a job in Austin, MN that included relocation... Great adventure!
Incredible trip and great video. Definitely shows that not alot of money needs to be spent for a little getaway. How many hours a day can you spend on that seat without getting sore? I take my sons 03 ninja 250 out for day trips and after 170 miles the seat becomes unbearble, but it does give about 68 mpg with me on it and I'm 250 lbs
I love that you used a map and not your phone. its a good sense of adventure addition!
An early bike of mine was a brand-new 1969 Honda 125cc "twin" cylinder trail bike. The 3rd gear, wound out, could get me almost to 90mph but, 4th would drop to 80. One of my favorite bikes, many hours of fun!
