Positioned in the allround category, the Monkey is not just a nostalgic nod to the iconic mini bike from the 1960s but a sophisticated machine that promises exceptional fun on urban streets and winding country roads. With an MSRP of $4,299, this pint-sized powerhouse is designed to be accessible without compromising on quality or performance, making it a perfect entry point for new riders or a quirky addition to the seasoned collector's garage. At the heart of the Monkey ABS lies a spirited 124cc engine that delivers an impressive torque of 11.0 Nm at 5,500 RPM. This air-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine is designed for efficiency and performance, boasting a remarkable fuel consumption rate of just 1.50 liters per 100 kilometers, translating to an astonishing 156.81 MPG. The 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifting, while the wet multiplate clutch offers reliable engagement in various riding conditions.

The Monkey ABS comes packed with features that enhance both comfort and control, making it a versatile companion for any adventure. The bike's retro-styled steel backbone frame is complemented by a 31mm USD fork at the front and twin shocks at the rear, providing a total travel of 109mm and 102mm, respectively. Riders can feel confident stopping thanks to the optional ABS on the front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, ensuring safety without sacrificing style. Available in stunning Pearl Nebula Red and Pearl Black, this bike is sure to turn heads and spark conversations wherever you go. Plus, the comfortable seat height of 775mm makes it accessible for riders of various heights, enhancing its allround appeal. **

Pros

  • Retro Design with Modern Features: The Honda Monkey blends vintage aesthetics with contemporary technology, making it a standout in both looks and performance.
  • Exceptional Fuel Efficiency: With a remarkable fuel consumption of 156.81 MPG, the Monkey is not just fun to ride but also economical, ideal for urban commuting or leisurely rides.
  • Lightweight and Nimble: Weighing only 104.8 kg, the Monkey offers agile handling and easy maneuverability, perfect for navigating city streets or tight corners.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Riding: While perfect for city rides, the 124cc engine may struggle on highways or during long-distance travel compared to larger motorcycles.
  • Minimal Storage Options: The Monkey's compact design leaves little room for storage, making it less practical for carrying extra gear or personal items on longer journeys.
  • Comfort on Longer Rides: Although fun for short jaunts, the seat and suspension may not provide the same level of comfort for extended rides as some larger touring models.
