- Me and my friend took our Honda Monkey bikes from UK to Morocco.
First part is UK to Morocco... Part 2 to follow...
In first part we covered 3000km after 7 days on the road, 2 ferry crossings, 1 police stop and 1 chain adjustment.
Super Trip, mit tollen Bikes und gutem Filmschnitt. Klasse 👍
@@rolandzimmermann6800 thank you!
This was a very well-done chronicle of your trip! I love the Monkeys!
Thank you!
Such a great trip, and mesmerizing video. Nice one gents.
Thank you!
Wow, absolutely stunning video. I love the way you've put it all together. The music and scenes are just fantastic 😊 Awsome 😎 lookog forward to your adventures 🤩
Thank you 🙂
What an inspiring trip! 😍
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your trip....and that on a Honda Monkey, absolutely crazy. Class!
Hello Simon, thank you!
Fantastic adventure and it's really made me think about getting a small bike!
Great video guys! This is exactly why I want to buy a Monkey very soon!
I got a Honda Innova 125 and am going to do some travelling on that. I've had big bikes but I have more giggles on these little things! Hats off to you!! Sheffield.
Hello, good choice regarding Innova 👍 doing big trip on small bike feels like achievement. Safe ride 😉
Innova is a great bike…love it.
@@chris191168 Hi Chris, Innova is good bike. I like Super Cub (2022) and CT125. Hope to add one of them to my collection 🏍️
Bro did 6000km on a monkey, probably filled the tank twice 😂
Awesome motorcycle
you are a living example to us. the can do spirit.
Thank you! 🙂
So lovely video man... Finally i receive my honda dax and my best friend the monkey.. We are very happy... Greetings from Greece..
Hello, thank you. Nice to have Dax and Monkey in one team 💪 safe ride 😉
Great adventure, thank you!
Un viaje ideal 👌🏻
Monkeying around. Very well done guys 👍
Thank you!
Hello Jevboy. Sorry for not being in touch but school has been a little bit all over the place and its not really settled down yet. Are you still up for popping over and giving the pupils (5 of them) a chat about your adventure? Stuart
Klasse Video!
Es hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Danke! 👍👍
Hallo, Danke!
So amazing. I have Honda Dax and i had 2000km journey with it.
Thank you! I like Dax as well 👍
Outstanding. I'm amazed you did not see my mate Alan (Helmet Head) who recently did pretty much the same run through Morocco but in the opposite direction, on his Monkey bike. Monkey are just SO cool!
Hi Neil, not seen other Monkey, Dax, Grom or Cub on the way 🙁 only big bikes.
@@Jev8oy Just looked at your route (so far). What a Journey! I don't think Alan went quite as far into Morocco as you, he just did a ten day loop from the ferry back to the ferry, but he was certainly in some of the same places as you guys. Morocco is now on my bucket list... not on a Monkey, on my 650 VStrom.
@@neilmackinnon3371 Neil, VStrom is a good choice! Morocco has a lot on offer for an adventure riders. Big change in culture, scenery, food.. you really going to enjoy 😉
a wonderful trip
Nice road trip guys
Thank you!
Hello , the adventure must be fantastic, I love the Honda Monkey...I come from Belgium and I would like to buy it…
Hi, thank you. I really enjoyed the trip and can’t wait for my next adventure 🙈 monkey is a great little bike and I highly recommend it 🏍️
All the GS Boys Scratching their head
beautiful trip
Thank you!
Short and Sweet!
Thank you!
crazy 👌🏼
Spalding! That's only 11 miles from me, while my crf300l sits in the garage you head out on a BIG trip!
Fantastic
Thank you!
Piękna wycieczka 👌 mój motocykl to Honda DAX st 125 Też podróżuje.
Pozdrowienia z Polski 🇵🇱
Cześć Dziękuję! Dobry wybór 👍 Ja też lubię Daxa 🙂🇱🇹🇬🇧
Tylko że te motorki mają mały bak paliwa, co jest dużą wadą przy dalszych podróżach.

@@Raul-pp1uh Witam, tak, mały zbiornik paliwa, ale w Maroku jest dużo stacji paliw. Możesz także kupić paliwo od lokalnych mieszkańców, na wypadek gdyby zabrakło Ci paliwa.
Great
very nice👍
Thank you!
Nice view 🪟 👍
Thank you!
We had a wonderful trip together What was the hardest thing about the long-distance tour with Monkey Tough riding position??
Hi, I didn’t find it hard long distance riding on Monkey. Yes it’s slow and small fuel tank, but it didn’t bother us. Siting position is ok for me. Don’t take my word for granted, I only pass my motorcycle licence in February so have little to zero experence. I would recomend test riding Monkey and see if it works for you.
All I can say that Monkey brings a lot of smiles to almost anyone who sees it. It’s a perfect conversation starter. Everytime we stop someone would ask a question or give us a 👍
Cool

Aciu!!!
I like your channel and enjoy watching it, but for me hard to figure it out where that place and how far. My suggestion how if you show the journey with the maps too and could be more interesting to watch. Thank you. Greeting from Indonesia
Hi, I thought about adding maps, but need to work out how to do it. Maybe on my next video 😉
@@Jev8oy great, thank you, can't wait for the next video.
Nicely done, what is your touring setup in terms of bags? How did you fix them?
Hi, My Honda Monkey set up: Tail tidy, mirror extenders, Oxford usb-c charger, Beeline sat nav, Takegawa large rear rack, Enduristan Tornado bag (M) and Enduristan bottle holster. I have Monkey set up video on my channel.
What did you use for navugation? Is that circular computer on your bars anything to do with it? I'd like to do something similar so would help massively!
Hi, I used Beeline moto sat nav ( thats the device you see on my bars) . Little tricky to get used to it, but once you work out it’s ok.
Thank you very much, brilliant video btw@@Jev8oy
@@litmuesli6490 thank you!
Any issues going slower than other traffic or were you generally able to keep up?
Hi, in genral we were able to keep up. Of course on motorway cars would overtake us, but on normal roads we are fine. I would say on faster roads you just need to be more vigilant.
Oooo geras. Svajonių motocikliukas. Kiek laiko jau jį vairuojat?
Sveikas, nuo 2022.
Awesome but im thinking of getting the monkey also but do you have racks on the back to put your gear on , its very limited for space?
Hi, no rack on the bike as standard, but you have a lot of aftermarket choice in any shape or colour. Space is limited, but it’s depends what you planning to carry. For me did work 1 bag (7kg) for 2.5 weeks, but for others that may not be enough.
@@Jev8oy tnks for reply. Great 👍 awesome video btw. yeah I'm toying with idea of Super cub or monkey .
@@keithdouglas9848 Keith, both good choices 👍 Go for 2022+ if you can afford. I believe super cub maybe 1 or 2 miles faster 😀
Cheers mate. I think I'm just going for more storage space as I'd love to do a long journey across Europe 🙏.tnks @@Jev8oy
Did you have any serious failures along the way?
Hello, no breakdowns or failures. Monkey done all 6000km trouble free.
📺🏍️💨❤️🏆
very nice, i think you have an iron butt now 🙂
Hi, its actually not so bad 🙂 Monkey have very comfy seat. Some days we done 9-10 hours riding and still could have done more 😀
what bike was the cameraman using?
Hi, it was Suzuki V Strom.
turi gal essential gear'o sarasa? as ir galvoju Monkey nusipirkt, idomu kaip zmones keliauja su jais :)
@@M3lagis Sveikas, turiu foto instangrame, ka su savimi pasiemu. Mano insta big_road_dreams.
@@Jev8oy dekui, uzmesiu aki ;)
awesome video, but how can you have so little luggage ;D
Hi, thank you! Less is more. For my next trip planning to take even less 🙂
@@Jev8oy but dont you bring clothes, gear or food? Or some Tent, or where do you sleep?
@@ocbtyga3238 we had 2 spare T shirts, socks and pants Washed them every second night. No tent or food as we used airbnb/booking. We decided it better way for Morocco as it’s was not so expensive to sleep in hotels/airbnb instead of camping.
started in the uk and on your Second day you are in Spain!!? Really? Where is your Gear??
Hi, we drove from Spalding, UK, to Plymouth on day 1. Then we boarded a ferry to Spain (Santander). It took 20 hours for the ferry to travel from the UK to Spain. On day 2, we were in Spain. We travel light, so we only had one bag each 🧳
Are you from Spalding Lincs ?
Hi, Yes, I am.
Hello Jev. I live in Long Sutton but work in Friday Bridge. I teach at a small school attached to a foster home for boys aged from 11 to 18 who have had a pretty poor start to life and find mainstream education difficult. We currently have 6 boys in total. Is it possible that you and your riding partner night be willing to come and have a chat with the boys and let them see how you planned and actually completed the journey. You don't have to make a massive presentation just actually answer questions and go through your own videos. I find that they just need some inspiration and they love this kind of stuff. Last guy to visit was Ed March. Hoping you can help. Stuart Lloyd - Himalayan and SV 650 owner.
@@stuartlloyd8276 Hello Stuart, yes, we could do that. Please contact me via 07742487340

How did you cope with the ass pain with all that mileage. I can't fmdo 50 miles on my grom without being in terrible ass pain
Hi, we actually both managed it well. Not a lot of pain. I found Monkey seat quite comfy. We had days where we sat on it for 10 hours a day.
how big engine size?
Hi, 125cc (9.3 horsepower) 💪
Thanks!! be careful car missile!! @@Jev8oy
Kiek laiko uztruko kelione ?
Sveikas, 17 dienu.
kiek km per diena padarydavot?
@@edbutkus4272 Ivairiai. Buvo dienu po 500km, bet buvo ir po 200-250km. Vaziuodavom tol kol atsirasdavo nuovargis arba pradedavo temti.
Could have done with a commentary, apart from that, not a bad effort
Hi, maybe in next video 🎤
Zajabys 😂
Very inspiring - but - sadly rather spoilt by the consistent banging sound. Doubtless somebody's idea of music .
What's your idea of music then Clive, yer big girl's blouse?
@@stuleyland9490 ...well, what an intellectual comment - just about sums it all up really - unintelligent and insulting. By the way, from your scripted intro, it's not..." Me and my friend" it is, correctly, " My friend and I ". Lastly, not too sure about "..yer..", I presume it's some derivation of the English language.
I can't watch any more, ruined the video. Horrible music 😢
