    For those of us that need the mirrors to be a little wider but want to stay O.E.M. you can order mirrors for the Honda C125 Super Cub. They are exactly one inch longer than the Honda Monkeys mirror. They cost $12.00 each from Honda.

      That’s super good to know thank you. On one of my scooters I just put bicycle mirrors on the end of the handlebars. I don’t mind chopping up a Chinese scooter but I’m not gonna chop up a fine piece of Japanese work like a Honda. I’m gonna look into those mirrors

    Beautiful bike. How is it on the groomed trails and dirt roads. I had a 70 mini trails 50 and ct 79 in the early 70 s. And trying to decide between this bike or the trail 125.

      Supper good, it’s just a little high geared.
      I think reconfiguring the sprockets would make it better

      @@1972mercurycougar I talk to my dealer yesterday about the trail 125 he said they’re not coming in and they have a long list of people waiting to get one: getting ready to do some custom upgrades on the monkey. I’ve been tinkering with the gearing lately. I think I’ve settled on a sprocket configuration. I’ll make some videos pretty soon

      One of my bikes is a 2020 Honda Monkey. I’m 6 feet, 235 pounds. It handles my size and weight just fine. I ride it both on and off road, but prefer it off-road. While on-road, I prefer roads 45 MPH or less, but I’ll take it on roads up to 55 MPH for brief distances, though I keep an eye on what’s going on behind me more judiciously. I’ve had it up to about 62/63 MPH, but that’s typically downhill. This is with a 14-tooth front sprocket. On a flat road it’ll do 55, less going uphill. The 14-tooth front sprocket helps to hold speed better going uphill. That said, it’s a great bike. Love riding it!
