The placement of the horn instead of the indicator is something Honda does on all their bikes now.. dont know why, but I’ve seen it on their new bikes, not only on the mini bikes. Btw I ride the Dax ST 125 and the horn is placed same way on it. Keep riding safe, my Honda mini bike brother😊
Is quite common to press the honk by mistake every time you press the Directional lights off, by changing the placement you avoid this. I think that’s the reason since it happens to me quite often.
I was close to getting one recently but decided I'm better off getting something faster whilst my other bike is a Himalayan. I might get a monkey to replace my Himalayan one day because I like riding lanes and the monkey is great for that.
I have a good size tank bag on mine, maybe a 15 liter expandable, the Africa twin tank bag ring fits the monkey so I can use a quick release bag like the givi.
With the monkey only having a peanut tank I thought larger tankbag properly got in the way of the bars and seat… I have several tank bags and rings and found the bag mounted on the rack the best option! But if it works for you mate that’s all that counts 👍🏼
I know why Honda changed the directionals/honk, to avoid pressing the honk by mistake every time you want to turn off the directional lights, the finger tends to slide.
I’ve never had a problem and to this day don’t have a problem with things being the correct way about… it’s the only thing I honestly dislike about the monkey the horn and indicators being the wrong way about!!
Cheap ins, who do you use? I have two bikes on a multi bike policy with Bennets, and decided this year to change both of them.Basically big bike for me and the wife to go out. And then the fun one which currently is a crf250l. Ordered the new large bike, which unfortunatly may not arrive till October, and decided I would trade the 250 in and give the Monkey a go as the fun bike. So started looking for ins quotes. Told I cant get multi cover on a monkey, which meant cant mirror my no claims on 2nd bike and was quoted £600 to insure.Not a happy chap.
🤣 honestly it’s amazing!! I don’t know what your equivalent of crumbly Lancashire cheese is but I’m telling ya it’s the one.. best butty ever and even better if you only have it occasionally
You are SO RIGHT about the horn. Because of it I now make mistakes on my other bikes
Same here 🤣

@bocurtis1962 I’ve no idea why Honda decided to do it though.. much prefer it the other way round

Monkeys are ace for riding the lanes and are very agile!! Get to most places on one!! I’m looking forward to seeing what you buy Adam 👍🏼

I go through Adrian Flux, I always found Bennetts ridiculous price wise.. MCE we’re ace til they went bump… good luck mate
Sometimes smaller is more fun Dave......so I'm told 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Didnt know Peter Kay rode a Monkey bike...
Nice it's so inexpensive to operate
Honestly it’s ridiculous 🤣 virtually riding round on fresh air haha
I like cheese and jam butty. Told a mate and he was appalled. But he never tried it. 😂 pizza have cheese and pineapple 🍍
It’s Beltin isn’t it 👍🏼 😂
@@NorthernMotovlog sardine and onion was a bit much. 😳
@zedcharlie used to love onion but have really gone off it for absolutely no reason! Can’t even stand the smell anymore!
Sounds like it would be as tasty as Vegemite 😜🤮
