In this video, I will show you how capable a Honda Monkey is off-road. We are on a 2023 Honda Monkey here. It doesn't matter that this Monkey is not even listed in the "Dual Sport" category on Honda's website. We are going to push it to the limits! We will do big hill climbs and some 4x4-only mountain roads. Some steep single track and finally some big rocks!
Follow my channel for more videos of motorcycles, dirt bikes and off-road stuff.

I must admit, I'm really impressed. And that Hill climbs in the beginning was impressive. When you turn over and prepare to go down again it really shows how steep it was, if the GoPro or any Action Cam shows that it's steep, It really must be steep! Sometimes it doesn't show well on wide-angle cameras. I would be scared to death going down that hill.
@Boonies_adventures

The down was definitely way scarier. It helps that I have done the hill many times on my husqvarna 501 so I know the routes to go up.

I took my Honda Z50 mini trail (similar in some ways to the Monkey) everywhere when I was a kid. Going over whoops in the sand pits where the big bikes rode was treacherous, each whoop became it's own little hill that you climbed and descended. That bike was freakin indestructible. An amazing gift from my dad for a mind that needed constant novelty through adventure in our wooded towns.

Great test area. You did well handling all that horsepower. The Honda dealer had a CL500 that I wanted to check out yesterday. They had a Monkey too. I've been trying to get one of those for a while now but that plaid seat? I'd rather have an all black seat. Really tempting though because it looks a lot like my old Honda Mini Trail 50 I had back in 1969. The price is a bit to swallow at $4'800 though! Thanks for the show.

Pretty brave and impressive, because it's a not a cheap motorcycle - which makes no sense compared to other bigger & heavier & cheap models like the CB125F in the 125cc category - and although it might look mini-off-roadish, we know it's not, specially because those wheels are not really size-suitable for that purpose - it even get stuck in the thick-debris river sand.😆 Great filming job and narration, mate!💯% Have a great week, safe rides🏍💨, and watch good movies!✌😎

@2mnyshp 4 месяца назад
Little tip for all that want a little bit better sound without having to change the stock exhaust. Change your paper air filter to the Takegawa Power air filter. It uses the same air box, so it's concealed and the bike sound more throaty and deep. This will keep you (99,9999%) out of trouble in countries where its very illegal to put on a non approved exhaust.

@2mnyshp
@2mnyshp 4 месяца назад
@@Boonies_adventures I've read that some people who use this air filter on the grom, which has the same engine as the monkey, report that the mixture runs a bit too lean after the installation. But I've run it for 600 km now and didn't experience any problems. The filter runs dry so you don't have to oil it and when it's due for a clean you can simply wash it with soap and water and let it dry. It also comes with another foam insert that's suitable when for mainly offroad. Think it's a bit more dense to keep the particles out.
