Evey single monkey bike video I have watched so far (& that's a lot) has the rider laughing his/her head off. Sold.

@SamVBikes I had a highly modified c90 with a bucket seat, no lights, no indicators, no suspension. It was great but I had part ways with it. A monkey is the future
That monkey bikes has really a lot of magic , that's making the rider smile and laughing all the way 😂

@@SamVBikes exactly! I must get a go on one. A funny thing though is that our techs were recently analyzing and mixing paint for an original monkey and he didn't like it being called that and insisted it was referred to it's technical name. I'm tempted to say he went ape! Oh, I just did 😂😂

Hi Sam , be warned your heading into a dangerous world , your laughing now , this will change into love , I started with a 2019 monkeybike which I bough new and I never even seen one ,at the time I had a ninja H2 , Ducati diavel , triumph rocket 3 , get the picture I like bikes and power !! I actually wrote that monkeybike off into the side of a jeep at 55mph and was totally gutted , I bought 2 groms 5 speed , 1 monkeybike 5 speed , 4 benelli tnts , now you see what’s happened , groms are the best road bikes , just , monkey is a riot , benellis are impressive too ,you’ll never laugh as much and have so much fun , I’ve got lawnmowers that use more fuel , no doubt you ktm is epic , but their something satisfying about squeezing every ounce of power and speed out of mini bikes and using next to nothing in fuel , I’ve done 20,000 mile in total on my mini bikes in total in 2 years , that says it all , anyone thinking of going small , do it their a riot , you won’t regret it 🏍🏍👍👍

Haha! Love that! In the first month or two, it started getting a little boring because I was using it on the wrong roads. I've done a few little mods and it now feels like my bike If that makes sense! I contemplated getting rid of it after a year or so but it's brilliant. Even just a quick trip to the shops is so easy. Park it anywhere and it draws attention! Don't think I'll sell it!

I ordered one from the dealer in Letchworth and 3 months later they still could tell me what colour I was getting. I had resorted to "I'll take any". Found this one in stock up in Padgetts in Leeds. Unregistered. So thought it would be funny to go get it and ride it back ha!
