Definitely the most epic little bike.
Couldn’t agree more, love my Monkey and if I had to sell my bikes tomorrow the monkey would be the last one. Puts a smile on your face and others each time you go out 😄
I'm thinking of buying one so I can use it for food deliveries.
Forget about your other bikes, use only Monkeys in your van travels. Make you the "MONKEY EXPERT"
Love your channel and Monkey bikes!
Good morning to you!
I am HONDA Cross Cub grandpa from Japan and sharing Cross Cub video.
Monkey is so nice motorcycle !!
So great job !
Have a nice day friend !
OK Helmet Head. I've watched almost all of your videos, but finally subscribed. You've earned it. Your enthusiasm and the effort you put into all of your footage and drone shots is really good. I know you like your new Himalayan, but keep the Honda Monkey content coming. I love my 2019!
😁 Thank you 🕺🕺🕺👍
I wish i watched this before i just bought one,picking it up tomorrow 😩
Hey man, you are the key that i needed, you make me feel safe about my doubt! I have already ordered one!! Thankss
Great video! Thanks for sharing and the insight. Those are some awesome little bikes 😎
Mines parked outside of work right now.. and I'm pooing watching this video 👍
I’m pondering getting one and you have answered so many questions I have: thanks so much and keep making your videos.
Thank you 😁👍
Sure it is a tremendously awesome bike. Nice one vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come. RIDE SAFE ALWAYS
I bought mine two years ago from new and still love the thing to bits makes me smile every time!
I came here to see it in action, I'm registered for my motorcycle license class at the end of this month and I think I am sold on this bike. it's so cute and nice and small for a beginner

So fun. Wainting for my one. Thanks.
One of the best bike channels on TH-cam. You should have many more subscribers! Keep up the good work and I’m sure this channel will be massive.
😁 Thank you this is such a nice comment to get 😁👍
@@HelmetHead Your welcome. Credit where credit is due. It’s clear you put a huge amount of work into your content.
such a cool vid... thanks
Thanks i'm wainting for my one.
Awesome video. Well done
Honda builds a great bike. I'm 65 years young my first vehicle was a motorcycle a 350 Honda. Since then I have always had a Honda bike. Even now I own a 2003 loaded Goldwing 1800 (absolutely bad ass machine). But to big to haul out and go to the store. Thinking about getting one for the neighborhood, I will use it more. plus 157mpg is nothing to piss at..
Love this channel! The downside, serious considering new '22 Monkey!! I'm subscribed!
😁 Thank you 👍
Brilliant video and edit. 👍 Monkey is very cool.
Thanks mate 😁
Awesome. I think I might get one 😁
Made me.smile so much great video.
Awsome review, thanks 👍🏼
Thanks for watching 👍
Everything about this video is great, love motorcycles, love monkey bikes love the tunes. love the format
😁 Thank you 👍
Thx verry for the video ✌️👍
just got one it's parked next to my speed triple , can't decide which is more fun !!
Little bike, but a huge character!
Great vid buddy.
Regards,
Dazza. 🇬🇧
Cheers 🍻 mate
I bought the Chinese copy way back in 2003 50cc took that out put a cub 90cc with big bore kit now 110cc still semi auto 3 speed but great fun if I had the funds would add a 125 to my small collection RE interceptor and 1973 Honda CB 175 project.
Smashed it out the park again 👍
Cheers dude.
Gotta love the Monkey great one Lord Helmet ☺️
Thanks buddy 😁 😉
Nice vid!
What air intake system do you have on your little monkey?
Love the Monkey! Might have to get one as a second bike at some point. You must be fairly local to me, I've been to that Harley shop it's only 20 mins from my house! :-)
I also have my own channel, based on Wild camping and Bushcraft. I wondered whether the monkey could carry enough kit for an adventure? We'll have to do a colab and find out at some point :-) My channel is called Steelman Outdoors
😂 You talked me into buying a preowned blue/white one. It’s got 90 miles on it, immaculate. After owning 7 Harley Davidsons over the years owning a bike I don’t have to work on is going to be fun!💥💣😎
Thanks great video, I’ll have to subscribe and binge watch.
Lemon pie, chocolate pie, 🍎 pie?
😂 👍
Awesome enjoy the amazing little beast 👍. I’m currently riding mine around the world 🌎 - th-cam.com/play/PLRUtR8JRmF7oFIkBB_UQNNP8-Ss7rNFyu.html&si=oj2S_9uU3AeG7GCB
Amazing little bike!

What a rubbish bike 🤔.......... NOT !!!!! If only they knew the fantastic adventures you have been on with the monkey 🤔 OH WAIT THEY CAN by watching your catalogue of awesome videos and subscribing 💪😍 Excellent video as always buddy 👍👍
As always thank you what a true awesome support you have been to the channel 😉 top man 👍
I like the mods they've done to the 2022 version, but it looks like they've cheaped out on the painting side by only painting the tank and the shock springs, I love the way yours has bottom frame banana yellow and you can see the yellow shining through the gaps in the running gear, if you love the yellow, you want to see the yellow, such a shame..
I mean you are paying under 5k for a bike. What else do you expect?
I love the top box, could you tell me which one it is please.
Superb tribute to the Monkey bike. Hope all the Monkey bike hopefuls watch this 🐵👍
Thanks buddy 😁
Liking the Montycharge the Harley Davidson riders having a sneaky peak at the monkey
What upgrades have you done?
Apart from the terrible music 😂 the Monkeybike indeed is the 👑 of all small bikes.
Brilliant video
Thank you 😁 👍
I love mine there so much fun monkeying around.
Enjoyable video!
Thanks 👍 check out my latest crazy adventure Around The WORLD!

I think it looks vintage style ,very cool
I don't have one....yet! ....but I absolutely also believe, that they are the best motorcycles in the world! If I was ruler of the world, I would decree that all cars must be Suzuki Jimnys and all bike's should be honda monkey's, no-one shall drive a car with less than 1 passenger and public transport shall be mini road trains with open topped trailer carriages or closed winter ones.. 😅 I would not be the most popular ruler ever, but I think people would warm to me when they see how much better the roads are.. 😅
🤣 Great comment 👍
Random question: Could you daily it? Like to and from work as well as going out and about?
I don’t have any point of reference as I’ve not even done CBT training.
Just I keep getting told I will quickly outgrow the Monkey and so it’s not worth it but I constantly keep coming back to it…
The bike can pretty much do everything. If you check out this you will see what I mean 😉

Awesome trailer on money bike!
Absolutely brilliant video?
Thank you 😁
No offense to your weight but I'm also a bigger guy. Just seems to fit very well with large men. That was my reservation before purchasing this bike. Thank you for reassuring me
A great bike happy with mine
buy a bike with normal sized wheels. honda cg125..do they still make them?
Need to tighten that chain son.
I'm still hoping the ct125 comes to the uk. But then again your Monkey has been amazing off road etc.
Fingers crossed for next year 🤞
@@HelmetHead Here in USA, production was so low, bidding wars ensued. Good for Dealerships, bad for regular consumers, like me! Still mad about it! '22 News???? Nobody will say a word. Rediculous!! I don't see why they didn't produce it as fast as possible??
@@1972mercurycougar It's so crazy at the moment. Here in the UK we are having massive supply problems on parts etc. Fingers crossed 2022 things will pick up again 🤞
Confirming. Yes yes. Great icon
Selling my RnineT to get my wife through CBT and buy us a monkey each…..I think you’ll approve 😎 wanted to ask is that 80mph your getting out of that and if so what you had to change? And lastly I see that Honda do a rear rack as the only accessory but which type of rack and top box are you using because that looks like a good set up! Can you fit a helmet in that top box? Cheers 👍
Hello awesome choice getting some Monkey's. Here is a link to video about the mods I did th-cam.com/video/wpIZ4LGUpbU/w-d-xo.html
But if you go through this playlist it should have everything I've done on the Monkey th-cam.com/play/PLRUtR8JRmF7oFTogvmupzflULiGnW-0qC.html
One thing to mention is if you do mod it the speedo will be out slightly 3mph over ish. The back box can fit a helmet in 😉 link: amzn.to/3mLcg8N you will also need a universal mounting plate link: amzn.to/3mLVcQ9
I've got one. Top speed us 57, and it does hold up a road traffic from time to time. Obviously the one on test is moddified, but even so a genuine 80mph indicated is impossible. I suspect the sprocket has been changed which is now causing the speedo to over read by a large margin. Be under no illusion, these are surprisingly capable little bikes, but on a and b roads you will be full throttle and rarely if ever doing the UK national limit. My one is unmodified, I have once made an indicated 62mph down hill, the speedo over reads a little, 31 is actually 29mph.
You definitely need to watch more of the channel 😉
Where did you get your rack and top box from?
I was wondering the same thing!
And very good price!
Fantastic video, well done sirrrrrr 😀😍 i have the same banana yellow Monkey and ride with the same big smile. I have more then 20.000 km done and still as happy When i bought it new. The bike before was a Harley-Davidson and i was a member of a Brotherhood, then i Saw the Monkey in a showroom and that was love at first sight. The Harley and Brotherhood i traded for the Monkey , best thing in my life !!!!! and now i ride free and happy as a Monkey with 7 cocks as we say that in the Netherlands. Much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
Awesome comment ride safe buddy and enjoy life 👍
Hello bro where did you get your cargo behind your scooter?
It's a givi trekker box you can pick it up on amazon, ebay, etc 👍
What luggage rack is that?
Thinking about getting one but worried about the clutch… Is it pretty beginner and dumbass friendly?
Yes buddy 👍 Super great leaner bike. But always best test riding one first so you happy 👌
All right already, I'll buy one. Thanks for the vids:-) BTW, when does the intro get redone, sitting on the Enfield or maybe the Monkey?
😁 Cheers buddy. I might be doing a new intro for 2022 😉👍
NB. The UK's national speed limit is actually 70 mph.
Honda Monkey👍
and I own a couple of hogs!!
I'm selling my Ducati scrambler nightshift 2023 with 1800kms on it to keep the little guy, everyone call me crazy 🤣
I still really want one.
I got one, same color. You forgot to mention how thirsty it is. 2L/100km
I hope you enjoyed this episode 😁 Please subscribe 😉

hallo Helmet Head, please can you tell me which song is at minute 8 ?
Sorry I have no idea epidemic sounds if that helps. It’s full of great sounds I still use them today.
Around The WORLD!

That Honda Monkey looks naff compared to the stock Monkey because it has been fudged around.
Ugly exhaust, top box, air box removed.
The Dax has arrived what a bike❤
It's great seeing a Chinese man enjoying Japanese engineering
Rather than Monkey around the world, why not a tu250x? Same reliability, bigger wheels, more power.. what's the attraction to the monkey! Ok, they're cute. Agreed.👍
Best monkey 🐒 review!
😁 Cheers buddy 👍
I want one 🤩
Good video.but hated the music
Who is doing the music?
Music sourced from www.epidemicsound.com/?_us=adwords_brand&_usx=10143947985_epic%20sounds&gclid=Cj0KCQiAk4aOBhCTARIsAFWFP9FEWY5n6d0d-UJ3F6xiovrf48QFttxqkWxB80y50B8BnP-to4w2kzUaAnDJEALw_wcB
I want this bike so bad
The " No Way" bike.
good thing got a helmet,chain is loose
I am not going to buy one at all. NEVER 😉
In all seriousness I am kinda Seriously craving one and was wondering about the mods you've done to yours?
Hello 😁 I think this video covers most mods I did 😉 th-cam.com/video/wpIZ4LGUpbU/w-d-xo.html
Ask "million dollar bogan" in aussy outback how well it did ...👍👍👍👍👍👍
i want to own a monkey bike
How the hell did you reach 80 mph with this thing?
Eat lots of pies 🥧 and go down hill 😂🤣
@@HelmetHead I'm all on your side with the pies. Good to here that gravity won't always be the enemy 😂
One hell've lot of work upgrading and money.
All that music, turned off.

Why did you not make clear that the bike had a modified exhaust system ?
EFI, ABS if it has that crap, and a 220 pound load capacity are all excellent reasons for not buying a Monkey.
If it had a 150 cc engine and 15'' wheels, I'd be tempted. I live in Thailand most of the year and there are lots of 150 cc bikes. Dangerously underpowered as a 125. I test-rode one. Overpriced and impractical.
I had to skim past the dire music.
