The new 2022 Honda Monkey 125 is one of the most fun bikes we have ever ridden and in such a small package that still packs a punch. Could this bike be the solution to our pollution problems and the extremely expensive fuel crisis at the moment! The mpg is out of this world, i talk about how the bike handles how good the suspension is with its rather good looking upside down forks. What the brakes are like and how great that little 125cc engine is.
This motorcycle would be fantastic around the city and is also just as at home in the country lanes. It’s just so much fun!

After doing my CBT and buying a Honda CB125F instead of a Monkey a year ago. I sold it and have just picked up a brand new Monkey. I love it! Also, I am 6’4” and it is remarkably comfy. Anyone umming or arrring, do it, trust me!

@rickparkinmoto 2 года назад

Honda are going to clean up in the retro 125cc market, with the Monkey, the Super Cub, the Grom and now the Dax. Classic designs, Honda quality and cheap as chips to own and run. The Monkey looks top fun, and I was considering one as a second bike, but now they've announced the Dax I think that will be one I'll go for. Great review!

@MrDarcy-OlMan 2 года назад

Absolutely agree, I can’t wait to try out the dax! Really love the looks of it.

I got mine in November when the 2022 models hit Denmark. I absolutely love this bike, for all of the same reasons that you are listing. Love the sound of the engine, too bad the laws for exhaust noise have been tightened in Denmark so I think I'll keep it stock. Even though I'm pretty tall at 6'4" the size is fine, it's actually taller than my Honda rebel. It's so much fun to ride and I get a lot of compliments when I am out on it. The acceleration is pretty good from 0 and the handling is absolutely amazing. Great for city riding.

@MrDarcy-OlMan 2 года назад

Great comments, good to hear that you don’t have any problems with your height. It’s surprising how comfortable the monkey is! Great bike 😁

Hi, I am thinking to buy one myself. Can you please tell me what’s the top speed of yours? Honda says it’s 91 km/h but people on RU-vid say that the 2018 model is already slightly over 100 km/h

@Foodgeek 2 года назад

@@guitarpicker1988 What the speedometer says and what reality is, is not the same. I've had it up to 107 km/h on the speedometer, but that was downhill and according to the GPS is was around 100 km/h. I'd say that your weight is a major factor. I'm about 210 lbs for reference. Steep up-hill I can maybe get 70 km/h.

Seeing you on this reminded me of a guy, long since deceased, who used to own an original Monkey. He was a nice chap but a bit of a story spinner. Years after doing his National Service during the Korean War in the 1950's, one evening he announced to the lads in the pub bar, just around the corner from my house that he'd shot and killed a Chinese soldier with his army issue Lee Enfield 303 rifle, and as the man fell he uttered the words, ' Aaagh, you Welsh bastard ' ! Anyway, he used the bike for work, erecting targets on Cefn Sidan beach, Pembrey, for RAF fighter plane training. Ideal for rough ground and tellers of tall tales !

What a beauty, wish UK didn't make it such a long process to get a license which is a put off. In Spain, up to 125cc I rode for 4-years with just a car license without any L-Plates legally.

I bought a new 2021 Monkey in February of last year, based largely upon your and your father's previous video review. I love that little thing! It and my '21 Street Bob are my only bikes, and I've put 900 miles on my Monkey, mostly riding through my neighborhoods since it's not capable of highway speeds. I'll never sell the Monkey; instead, it'll go to my sons when it's time for them to learn to ride. Thanks for your great video!

I'm about 210 lbs, and it pulls me no problem around town at 45 mph at half throttle on flat ground. Plus, it has off-road capabilities as well all while sipping fuel at a leisurely rate. Financed mine for $80/mo. lol . My cable tv bill was $223/mo before i got rid of them. Perfect bike for people who live in boston, new york, la, etc.

Got my 2019 monkey last month. Doing a 663 mile run this week. Did oil, valve adjustment ,and spinner clean out was not hard just time consuming had 2 ruckuses before the monkey. A great upgrade. I ran highways and if you don’t mind arse holes running up around you ultra close… metal bearings work wonders when they loose plastic on there break lights… I recommend the monkey, needs a good rack. Wearing a big backpack makes your butt sore. But without weight on your shoulders it’s great for long trips. Cheap as shirt on fuel.

85 wow, where do you live!? It’s 70mph here on the motorway or 60mph on any other road

As a biker living in London, I can tell you that the last thing I want is everyone riding around on these! Nothing better than filtering past the stationary traffic and having the bus lanes all to myself. The main hazards are the bloody pizza boys on their scooters, dodging in and out recklessly. Although I have to grudgingly admit that some of them are pretty skilled and they ride in all weathers, which is more than I can say!
