Overview

Introducing the 2022 Honda Monkey 125, a delightful blend of retro charm and modern engineering that captures the essence of motorcycling in a compact, allround package. This bike stands out in the crowded market of small-displacement motorcycles, appealing to both urban commuters and weekend adventurers alike. With its iconic design and playful demeanor, the Monkey 125 invites riders of all experience levels to rediscover the joy of riding, whether it’s weaving through city traffic or exploring winding backroads. At the heart of the Monkey 125 lies a spirited 124.9 ccm engine, delivering an exhilarating 9.3 HP at 6750 RPM and a robust torque of 11.0 Nm at 5500 RPM. This air-cooled, fuel-injected powerhouse ensures smooth acceleration and nimble handling, making every ride an adventure. The 5-speed gearbox allows for seamless gear changes, enabling riders to easily navigate city streets or tackle hilly terrains. With an impressive fuel efficiency of 1.50 litres per 100 km, this little dynamo not only delivers performance but also keeps your wallet happy, offering a remarkable 156.81 mpg! The Monkey 125 is engineered with an array of features that enhance both comfort and safety. Its steel backbone frame provides a solid foundation, while the 31mm inverted front fork and twin shock rear suspension ensure a smooth ride over various terrains. Braking is handled by hydraulic discs at both ends, with optional ABS for added security during sudden stops. Riders will also appreciate the low seat height of 775 mm, making it accessible for shorter riders and beginners. Available in vibrant color options like Pearl Glittering Blue and Banana Yellow, the Monkey 125 doesn’t just ride well; it turns heads too! **

Pros

  • Compact & Lightweight: Weighing in at just 104 kg (229.3 lbs), the Monkey 125 is easy to maneuver, making it perfect for city riding and tight spaces.
  • Fuel Efficient: With fuel consumption at an impressive 1.50 litres/100 km (156.81 mpg), this bike is a cost-effective choice for daily commuting.
  • Retro Aesthetic: Its classic design and vibrant color options appeal to riders looking for a nostalgic yet modern ride.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Speeds: While fun for city riding, the 9.3 HP engine may struggle to keep up with highway speeds, making it less suitable for long-distance travel.
  • Small Fuel Tank: With a capacity of only 5.68 litres (1.50 US gallons), riders may need to refuel more frequently on longer trips.
  • Basic Instrumentation: The instrumentation is minimal, lacking advanced features like a digital display or connectivity options found in newer models.
