    "...the thing's under-braked, it's under-damped, it's under-sprung and there's not enough power...so I can tell you from riding it, I had a ball..." Great to see a review that is not narrow in its perspective. Most machines have their own audience. Ride whatever you like to ride...just so long as you are riding!

      Could it have performed better for a less robust rider? I'm thinkin maybe someday I will go check one out... I like the modernity and the fuel injection. I'm short and about a buck half weight wise.

      I do not know the reviewer (and do no care who he is, really) but he has a lot of audacity to comment about how "under"- the monkey is. Of course you fat slob! With your 200+ lbs you have exceeded the weight limit of this bike. Poor thing, it must have suffered under you while doing this ...pathetic review. Big THUMBS DOWN for RevZilla with this one.

    Perfect last bike.. lol. I’m going to be 57 in September. Started on mini trail when I was 8.. been through seven motorcycles including a Valkyrie and an FJR1300. Stopped riding two years ago because I bought a camper for the family. Three kids 10, 7, and three. Just bought a blue 21’ Monkey. This thing just called me! Talk about full circle!

    For those on the fence especially larger dudes. There's an AWESOME aftermarket right now for these. $300 for stiffer springs on it or go all out with a set of Ohlins adjustable rears for $700. Not bad considering its two shocks.

  • @da72ma
    @da72ma 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I know what Honda needs to do... a major advertisement campaign... the one question for Honda is why? why do you charge a premium price from the Grom to justify this bike?... Honda made sure that it won't end up in everybody's garage... now I do want one just because of the history and the knowledge that my mechanic's dad was riding one from a to b... that ole' 50cc thing is still in my mechanics garage... long after his dad retired... testament to the renowned Honda reliability... I liked Lemmy on the bike... btw. I dont like the Grom... It never phased me... but this Monkey makes my heart rate go up... why? It is the same? Nope it is not... Seat feels different, it has history, and looks darn good besides some other miniscule differences... after all motorcycling is a thing of the heart... and not just transportation

    in a couple years when these things are all over craigslist the comments on other bikes will be "but i can get a used Honda Monkey so much cheaper and its pretty much the same thing."
    the price in my honda store is 3k and i would gladly pay that. its never been abused and totally unmodified which is going to be impossible to find in used condition.
    i would rather buy one new so i can keep it in pristine original condition rather than have to undo the goofy ass fuckery someone else did to theirs.

  • @mikehoward8201
    @mikehoward8201 ปีที่แล้ว

    The difference in the monkey and my ruckus is not so much the speed, but with my ruck at 39 cc and 37 mph top speed, I did not have to register it, no license, no insurance bs. My 2017 Ruck now has 7,300 mile on it, averaging 90 mpg. I weigh in at 220 lbs., but if I weighed 165, I would ne getting over 100 mpg, so I cannot complain. This is my last bike, having had many, from Honda 110 Trail, to Honda 750 four, to Honda 750 ACE, to 1800 Goldwing, so now I ride a scooter and it is so much fun!❤😊

    I would guess that Honda designed this for the Asian market. It seems perfect for cities like Bangkok, Saigon and Phnom Penh for solo riding/commuting. But you can't have a passenger, so it's not perfect. It has tremendous charisma though. It should sell well in Asia.

      As with most other models available today, someone WILL buy this bike from the dealer. They'll keep them around for a few years, and likely won't put many miles on them. And whammo kazammo, you'll be able to buy one on the used market for a fraction of the original sticker price.

    • @dualsportwannabe3708
      @dualsportwannabe3708 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm definitely not saying Honda's sticker price is particularly kind to consumer's. But if I have any sort of advice on the subject, it's this: At the end of the day, if you don't want to spend $4000 on a 125... then don't. But if Honda ends up selling a metric ton of these things to consumers at the current price point, great. I like to see motorcycle manufacturer's succeed. Chances are in a few years you'd be able to buy one for a fraction of the original price from some old retiree that put maybe 1000 miles on the thing. Now let's say they don't sell well at all and dealers end up sitting on them. That's where that super low manufacturing cost not only benefits you, but Honda as well. It's a low-risk investment for Honda, and eventually prices will be slashed and the consumer will be able to pick one up for a far more reasonable price in the event that initial sales suck.

      @worthlessdollar1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@dualsportwannabe3708 These are effectively toys for summertime use only. The 4 grand price tag is wildly overpriced and virtually guarantees that sales will be tiny. The number of these that'll still be around in 10 years, having never been crashed or stolen, will be even fewer. If the price was around £2000 they'd sell like hot cakes in towns and cities. Personally I'll stick with my £600 Suzuki GN125. Bags of fun, 20 years old and runs like brand new.

    Love the retro styling, But the price on these are bullshit. There is no reason that bikes this size that are probably built on a assembly line, can't be sold for less than half than what they cost. People wait for old styles to come back, and when they do, the average person can't afford them. WTF!

      Check FortNine on TH-cam with the title "Motorcycle Companies Buy Positive Reviews (and it sucks)". What that video says reflects a ton in this video. In a nutshell these guys get pampered by Honda, stay in fancy hotels and have nice diners to basically buy a positive review, the reviewer can't say too much negative things about it or otherwise they risk of not being invited again for the next motorcycle event of the company.
      Sad to see this happening, but at the very least these videos give a idea of how it is sort of like to ride a bike like that.

    My nighthawk 750 starter went out recent, its my first motorcycle. I purchased it last year and restored it, but couldn't find the proper starter repair kit to replace some bikes. I just ordered a aftermarket one and I may sell it for nothing soon. I may consider getting a 250 or 300 for a daily.

    See, Motorclist? This is how you do a review based on just a press launch. Loved it. Gave us some context, pointed out some shortcomings, and described the advantages of the model and who would benefit from it.
    Some feedback though: With headphones on, I heard every single time Lem breathed in between sentences. Maybe space him back from the mic a bit? I'm sure he'd be willing to project his voice a bit

    Nice bike... Here couple of improvements I wish Honda would make.. 1). the speedometer/guages are very small.. I wish this were larger .. and wish the speedometer was analog .. I highly prefer a analog speedometer (especially since this would fit into the retro theme better). 2). Also the colors are too bright.. Offered only in bright yellow trim, bright red trim and now bright blue trim (for 2020). Be nice if they came out with some non-gay colors (for us straight dudes) like dark blue trim, dark gray trim, or black trim (not all black) for us who like to ride in a bit more of a stealth (low profile) mode... Oh while I am at it, the mirrors are too small and need to be larger and need to have some extend-ability so we can see behind better.
