Good morning to you! I am Cross Cub grandpa from Japan and sharing Cross Cub video. Monkey is so nice motorcycle !! So great job ! Have a nice day friend !
A heads up if you ride in the wet or wash it a lot.....There is a small open hole going directly into the rear swinging arm bearings, and it needs blocking urgently, as mine, which doesn’t get wet if I can help it was quite corroded when I slid the pivot shaft out! If you look at the frame in front of the back tyre, level with the swinging arm bearing shaft you will see a thin long oval cut out in the frame that has a small hole in the middle!! That goes straight in to the cavity, along with all manner of crap. Disassemble clean and lube the bearings and shaft, then block the hole, or drill and tap to take a grease nipple!! Any one know shay this hole is for on the Grom?
Ok, I give up! What is a cpl bracket? Do another video detailing the tail tidy you've made because the whole world needs them. Dammeralls wasn't that swep up last time I visited, 20 years ago!!!!!!! Does our U.K. Version get the steering lock?
I am looking at the new monkey and the Grom. Would you recommend either for commuting to work and school? Does it work on highways - not speed but stability
Cornish Roadhog thanks for the reply. It does look like a lovely bike and being based on the Grom implies a certain level of reliability and usefulness
Surely you can only get the yoshi for this bike. The detail in the rs-3 with the bananas etc just highlights the ridiculousness that is the monkey bike. I think it’s a piece of art much like the bike, everything else takes away from it’s beautiful looks. It’s meant to be humorous so I feel any other exhaust just isn’t worth it.
michael fraser yeah I purchased mine for $5800.00 in Sydney. I think most people will likely purchase the grom when looking at mini bikes. I suppose that only helps to have a unique looking bike. I definitely haven’t regretted it, it’s been just under a year now.
People just can’t leave well enough alone just cause someone else takes parts off they have to do it too not like you’ll be going off-road and bending the fenders . And removing factory muffler is illegal why buy a legal bike too pay more to make it illegal too pay more when you get a ticket it was designed in a way for a reason millions of dollars were spent designing them and fuckwits have too screw around with it and toss away that design smh 🤦♀️
I'm french and wainting for my one ! Oui it's hard wainting for ! Thanks for vidéo and good trips !

I was going to buy mine in Banana Yellow but when I saw the Metallic Red went for the red.
It is a great fun motorbike.
Honda must make a DCT version of Monkey

You won't be disappointed! Loads of fun..
That was a really nice demonstration great bike for where you live

Perfect little bike for those Cornish roads chum !
Very nice. US customers only get red and yellow. Cornish Roadhog, where is the bike made?
thailand
I heard some bad reports about the tyres being poor in wet Conditions how do find them
Hi Laura, iv heard the same but only used her a cpl times in the wet and to be fair found them not to bad.. hope this helps
@@crocksontherocksify Thank will give them a try myself see how it goes
Would you reccomend this for a learner rider?I'm 6ft 2 and worried I might be too tall for the monkey or a grom
Yes I would! So much fun bud.. Go have a sit on one at a dealer's 👍
@@crocksontherocksify thanks!prob best I go have a feel for it see what I think!
Congrats
Would it be a good first bike for a complete novice.
Very much! So much fun
Ok, I give up! What is a cpl bracket?

Dammeralls wasn't that swep up last time I visited, 20 years ago!!!!!!!
Does our U.K. Version get the steering lock?
Uploaded a video for you Roger... hope this helps.🤘
AS soon as they come in blue I'm in.
They DO come in blue - here in Australia at least. Google Honda Australia if you'd like to see it in blue!

Not rode the grom, but you won't be disappointed with the Monkey. 👍🐵

Do you press the clutch while braking?
Hi. What tail tidy you got there?
No tail tidy as such just made up with a cpl brackets

15 1/2 is 217 pounds. I had to google it.
Six thousand dollars on road in Australia , what a rip off.
