    The Honda Monkey is pretty much just a Honda Grom with retro styling, but is there more to it? In this first ride and review of the 2019 Honda Monkey 125, I take it for a spin to see just what it's all about. Can it live up to it's history?
    Thanks to RideNow Georgetown for the test ride!

  • @n8sg861
    @n8sg861 5 років тому +1

    i own it in banana yellow! its a blast. it climbs a steep grade with no power problem. i can take it almost anywhere. as long as there are no clearance issues, trails are great fun. top speed is 65mph. i have no interest in being on any bike on the highway, so it is perfect for me. i wouldnt recommend it for highway usage its just not fast enough for entry ramps. its fuel injected and runs perfectly all the time! the seat is like a marshmallow and suspension is nicely soft. i absolutely love it! get one!

    i bought one at the age of 49 , it is perfect for what it is and comfy and it looks good and a bit weird with a grown man on top , so not a bike for shy people it does stand out , and it is fun to ride around town and roads up to 40-45 miles , a bike for duty in towns and the suburbs

    I'm from Belgium, here the Honda Dax 50, 125cc are popular or the chinese copy's of it Skyteam. My own opinion, a 4 stroke is uselles when under 250cc. Ever tried 50 or 125 cc's 2strokes like Derbi, Rieju, Yamaha Tzr, Aprillia has a 50 and 125 cc enduro and racing models to. Than there's a brand like Beta, Generic from Austria but brand name changed to KSR. Myself i ride a Rieju mrx 2007 derestricted, prob gonna pop on and 80cc cilinder.
