Thank you for the super sweet video. I am sorry to mention this but bikers usually say "All the gear all the time". Please ride safe. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda".
To pop a wheelie,pull in the clutch and hold for 30 seconds,at the same time twist throttle to full,at the end of the approx 30seconds pop the clutch,this will make a great wheelie, good luck😜
I just got a 2023 with the same color scheme as yours about 4 hours ago. I like it a lot, it feels like a luxury version of my ruckus. All I want to change is the plaid seat to black.
I'm in the UK, and the Scorpion exhaust is the real deal on my Monkey 2023! Great sound, then you can take out the baffles if you like, for more!! Amazing!
Have my Monkey and my neighbor made a decal for me, now it reads Thunder Monkey. A satire because it is so small. I too really enjoy this bike as I am 80 and this fits the bill for me. Good video. A word of advice, start doing wheelies and then post a video of you going over backwards and 55 in a 45 is a big fine. Ride safe
haha love the decal 😂 appreciate the feedback, i’ll definitely be filming my wheelie attempts.. hopefully i don’t go over backwards tho 🤣 yeah it’s kinda surprising to be speeding on the monkey considering they’re pretty slow lol. stay tuned for some more videos 😁
No disrespect but take it for someone that's been riding a few decades with well over 100,000 Miles Riding two wheels. I wouldn't be so worried about doing wheelies at this point but you might want to practice shifting smoothly through the gears. That transmission and your chain and sprockets is not going to last long if you keep riding it like you are in this video. Even if it's under warranty it sucks not having a bike to ride because the transmission is being worked on at the shop. One other thing if there's ever a time to change the oil filter it's the first service you want to get ANY KIND OF METAL SHAVINGS from the BREAK-IN PERIOD out of that Engine then install your new filter and new spark plug Lube up your chain every few hundred miles and adjust it as needed & your good to go. 👍
going uphill the monkey has a range of 35-45 mph depending how steep the incline is, flat surface hits a steady 53 mph. i find the seat to be extremely comfortable and can ride all day without a problem! i’ve sat on my friends groms and don’t understand how they can ride all day without any comfort haha!
@@itsmebdon Cool thats what I weigh too. Im thinking of getting one, but want to make sure I can keep up with traffic haha. I would only be riding on 45 mph roads and under.
@@FinalArrival oh yeah you’d be chillin! definitely the bike to go with for just cruising, i go on the freeway at times to save time but only for an exit or two 😂
@@itsmebdonpossibly the same altho its quite loud, looks attractive for this bike tho. I like a deep sounding exhaust but still researching 1st… Akrapovic sounds good too but I’m not into the dual look. I tiptoe on this thing cuz I’m short lol but don’t wanna swap the seats it’s a classic. Lookin forward to seeing your wheelie tho You go first bro
