Honda Monkey

[mstrpoz]

Any Honda Monkey owners here? Picking one up this week after eyeing them for over 2 years. Curious to see if anybody hauls it in their bed and could share a picture.

Not an owner but I saw one in person back at Moore Expo this year and thought "that's cool". I've been wanting a mini bike like this or the Ego Electric mini bike for camping trips. Let us know how you like it

Yes, they just look so fun for back roads and trails. I am finally pulling the trigger on a 2019 stock Yellow one with only 1000 miles from the original owner. I also plan to figure out how to bring it camping, darn JT payload . The ego looks cool, but not street legal which is why I want the monkey. Most of the campgrounds, in my experience, don't like minibikes or similar, but they cant say anything if it is a registered vehicle.

I've seen them around. For that money, I'd go for a Yamaha TW200. But, I've owned two in the past and I might be a little biased because I loved the TW200.

The TW200's look nice but run about 50% more in cost than the monkey I am getting from what I've found. Something just draws me to the super retro look of the Monkey

I had one in banana yellow and absolutely loved it. I got rid of it because the traffic here in DFW is awful. I constantly see people running red lights, and read about yet another motorcycle fatality accident.

Yes, safety has always and is always a major holdback for me as well. Major reason I settled on the Monkey is it forces me to stay off the highways and take the backroads with less traffic HAHA.

Banana Yellow for the win though

Here's a Chinese, non-street legal, non-ABS version that still looks really fun for less $$$:

I looked at those but I do want street legal

Monkey looks fun, but I would never ride one on the streets around here for fear of getting run over

Long time Grom owner here. Nearly the same bike as a monkey. Very reliable, easy to transport, easy to ride, tons of fun. If your into modding stuff (like your jeep), there is tons of stuff you can do to the monkey. My son has one that he dropped a Honda CB300 motor in along with many other mods.

Ever hauled the Grom in your bed? got a pic?

Nope sorry. I'm sure it will fit easily. My son moves his around on a hitch carrier.
