This video was so peaceful. I really enjoyed it.
Rogue Galaxy, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated.. Some say that I am too old and slow.. LOL.. I like the term peaceful better.. thanks!
Thank you for posting. Just acquired a '21 model and you have once again given us some great accessory ideas. Thanks again for posting.
Jo, thanks for watching and the kind words. I am hoping that I don't end up breaking the Kitaco rear rack when I overload it. I bent the Gcraft rack on my other Monkey and had to strengthen it. So far, the re-enforcement I added to the Gcraft rack has been successful.
The first time I saw the Honda Monkey, I immediately liked it. In this video you have installed 12 accessories on Monkey, that's something extraordinary. Inspirational content my friend.
Always healthy and keep the spirit ya 💪😄
Thanks for watching, my friend, and also for the encouragement. My hearing continues to decline, but otherwise am ok. I did see that Lazy Dog Productions posted a video today, and I speak a bit in it, but it is hard for me to hear what I am saying. See:
czcams.com/video/F-mUt0NUx00/video.html
Were you able to see any of the solar eclipse last week from where you live? I watched some of it on a live CZcams feed from Western Australia.
🙏
@@Vintage_Garage
I watched the solar eclipse only on television😅
Really liked the luggage box with the Monkey logo.
@billwelch9431, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I bought those Monkey logos at beezdeals:
beezdeals.com/product/genuine-logo-sticker-mark-topper-honda-monkey-125-side-panel-decal-4-colors-new/
You can also get them at any Honda dealer, or online at:
www.hondapartshouse.com/oemparts/p/honda/86641-k0f-t60za/mark-type4-monkey. Different colors have different part #s. Shipping is expensive at beezdeals, but the shipping on the stickers was essentially free since I bought a lot of heavier items from them in the same shipment.
The luggage boxes are still out of stock at the Canadian vendor. I bought two, one for each of my two Monkeys, and may have exhausted their supply.
Thanks!@@Vintage_Garage
I would just like to say thanks.I have searched for weeks looking for a bar to mount my phone holder on and could not find one I liked. The Motowolf is just what I was looking for. Already have one on the way. Thanks again from USA.
Ricky, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I have seven Motowolf crossbars, all black. I prefer the ones with the compass in the middle, but they have been out of stock at Motowolf for the past four months, so I bought two black ones with no compass this month for my new Trail 125s. I have one with compass on both of my Monkey 125s, four (two with compass, one with compass and clock, and one plain) on my Trail 125s and one on the shelf. Two years ago, I bought one with both clock and compass, just to see what is was and put it on my Ruckus. I put it on one of my 2023 Trail 125s last month because I couldn't get the one with just a compass. I put a plain black one on my second 2023 Trail 125 for the same reason. I discovered Motowolf when I saw that they partnered with H2C for the H2C Mobile Phone Holders. I bought a couple of H2C phone holders from the Cub House, and with some searching, I found the Motowolf web site. The mobile phone holders are identical except for packaging. The Motowolf quality is very good. I also bought one of their yellow dry bags, and it appears in one of my MB5 videos. Please report back when yours arrives and let me know what you think of it.. thanks.

Got my crossbar yesterday and installed it. Was a tad bit challenging at first doing it by myself, could have used another set of hands , but got it put on in about 20 minutes and I like it. Have my phone holder and phone charger mounted on it. Ride safe my friend.
AWSOME! Thanks so much for this great video and sharing the lovely accessories 😊 truly must haves. Especially the Derazer windscreen and Motowolf bar , they look amazing all of the accessories. 🙏 Love your Chanel l, I found inspiration for my Monkey Bike 🎉
The Monkey Biker, Thanks for watching and your kind words. I have subscribed to your channel, and encourage all of my subscribers to do the same. Derazer comes out with new colors pretty quickly to keep up with the Honda Monkey color changes from year to year. For the 2023 Monkey (V3), they have the silver with white for the yellow Monkey, and a white with silver for the red Monkey. V2 had four colors and just like the V3, they match the tank colors for the 2022 Monkey. I have the black with silver V2 on my 2022 black Monkey and both the V3 and V2 colors are perfectly matched to the Honda colors. I think the yellow V2 would be a perfect match for your 2022 Monkey. Here is a link to all the colors V1, V2, and V3:

Thank you so much, sadly the weather here in the UK is not as lovely as yours. Your Chanel is awesome thanks 🙏
Thanks so much for this enjoying video! This lovely man looks like the character from the movie “Up!” 😂
@wltrlg, Thanks for watching and your kind words, much appreciated. Before the movie "Up!"" was released, people said he looked like Drew Carey. Now everyone just calls him Carl. He is also old and a bit cranky.. LOL.
Hi Vaughn,
Always a pleasure watching you work on these bikes. I particularly liked the chrome exhaust heat guard and the rear rack. A decent size to fit the top box on.
I had a oem rack on my monkey which was tiny. It was only any use as a handle to lift the bike up when I was loading it on and off my Narrowboat. 😁
Look forward to the test ride, I just know with your workmanship nothings going to fall off !
Regards warren 🇬🇧
Sorry for the slow response. Not sure why, but your comment from three week ago just showed up today. So far, the Kitaco rear rack is holding up better than the un-reinforced Gcraft rack. I did have to slightly bend the front mounts on the Kitaco rack to get it to fit with the Motion J side rack, but it is hard to tell that I did. The Kitaco seems to be very well made and perhaps the sturdiest available Monkey rear rack.
Video Numero 1.! 💪🏻🤞🏻
Grazie per tutte le specifiche e informazioni.! 💪🏻👍🏻
@imbrium1967, Grazie per la visione e le tue gentili parole, molto apprezzate. Mi hai rallegrato la giornata!
@@Vintage_Garage 😀👍🏻
Those are some tasteful accessories for the new Monkey. Good stuff and you ride safe sir!
Thanks Gus. I think I will probably add a Motion J side rack and 3L fuel can. The rack is on order, but hasn't arrived yet. Time now to put a few break-in miles on the yellow Monkey, and then go on a couple of adventure rides. To get to a State Forest safely, I pretty much have to ride the Monkey at full speed on the highway to get there, so I want to put 600 miles or so on it before then.
Did see news about 2023 CT125 Trail this past week?
@@gustwowheeling7337 Gus, Yes, I saw it at about 2:30 PM on Tuesday, and by 2:31 PM, I had dibs on two of them at the Honda dealer.. LOL. Glad they are green as four reds would have been too many. I plan to install all the OEM accessories I have been unboxing in the last few videos on one of them, and then make the other into a Country Trekking with H2C accessories and the Endurance side case. There is one possible hitch developing. In Thailand the 2023 doesn't have the mounting points on the underside of the left side bar on the rear rack. The Japanese and Canadian ones do. Looking at the USA parts fiches, the USA may be getting the one with the Thailand rear rack with no mounting points for the rear side accessories. If that turns out to be true, I will have to buy a rear rack from Webike or Canada to complete the OEM accessory installs.
Vaughn, another thought provoking post, nice accessories, thanks. Looks like my Monkey is going to cost me more money 😂
Matt, Thanks for the kind words, and I hear you, sorry about the more money.. LOL
@@Vintage_Garage 🏍💨🐒😂😂😂
All those items went together Very Tastefully well… !! ✅
The light shield, tank, seat, and rear top case ALL look Good. 😎👍🥳
Very similar to the accessories on my black one, except the yellow one has a Kitaco rear rack and the black has a Gcraft. I think I may move the Kitaco skid plate from the black to the yellow, to make the yellow more about Kitaco accessories, and then add something Gcraft to the black one. The Derazer headlight cover pretty much precludes having a front rack, so I will have to study the Gcraft catalog to get some ideas.
@@Vintage_Garage . Sounds like a logical plan. 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, many thanks, ride safe sir. Ken UK
Ken, Thanks for watching and your kind words, much appreciated. One third of the old chap's viewers watch from Thailand, and one third watch from Japan. He doesn't speak Thai or Japanese very well and his English isn't very good either.. 🤓
@Vintage_Garage Well I'm a London Cockney in my 80s and my English is crap . Lol
@@lord.onk99 It's a shame we don't live closer. I think we would enjoy each other's life stories. Back in the day, I used to travel to the Midlands to visit Lola, MG, Arch Motors and Titan as often as I could, and my motorcycles were always Norton and Triumphs, and I bought all my paint in Uxbridge. Now I travel to Japan and Thailand, and no longer have racing cars, just Honda motorcycles. I still have never really gotten comfortable with driving on the proper side of the road, but my practice in England and Bermuda has helped me in Thailand and Japan. Here is one of my older videos I made 23 years ago, and uploaded to CZcams a couple of years ago:

Gracias por compartir. From Spain 😊
Manu, Gracias por ver y tu comentario, muy apreciado. Tengo bastantes suscriptores de Tailandia y Japón, pero muy pocos de España, así que agradezco saber de ustedes... ¡gracias!
Love these bikes and I have to say that this latest model looks far nicer in yellow than the previous one. ❤
Simon J, Thanks for watching, and your comment, much appreciated.. When the USA colors were announced, I thought I liked the red best, but then I remembered how many red Hondas I have, so I gave the yellow a second look. The dealer closest to me has received only one 2023 Monkey so far, and it was yellow. I rushed over to look at it, and found that was already sold. The buyer had originally wanted a 2022 black one, but only one 2022 came in, and it was the black one I got a year ago. So when the only 2023 to come in so far showed up, he bought it with his deposit from the black that never arrived. When I visited Action Honda two weeks ago, a yellow 2023 had just arrived and nobody had dibs on it, so I bought it. I had already decided that I wanted a yellow one. Now I am on the lookout for a 2023 green Trail 125. I don't think anyone in the USA has received one yet, but Honda was saying April delivery, and April is almost over, so there might be a few showing up any day now.
@@Vintage_Garage I'll be glad when all these supply issues are over but worked in my favour when I ordered a blue jb03 last April. Dealer only received a red one but when I saw it 😍. Black was my favourite of the jb03 line but not available in the UK. All the best. Keep making interesting vids.. 🙌
Waw...with a Thai sub. Nice one. Thank you. Hi from Bangkok, Thailand.
Ann, Thanks for watching and your kind words.. I don't get much feedback from my Thai or Japanese subs and I very much appreciate your feedback. If you can read Thai, I would appreciate it if you could tell me if when I put a caption up, is it displayed long enough for you to read it, or is it displayed for too long or too short?.
ขอบคุณสำหรับการรับชมและคำชมของคุณ.. ฉันไม่ค่อยได้รับการตอบรับจากผู้ติดตามชาวไทยหรือชาวญี่ปุ่นของฉัน และฉันขอขอบคุณความคิดเห็นของคุณเป็นอย่างมาก หากคุณอ่านภาษาไทยได้ ฉันจะขอบคุณมากหากคุณช่วยบอกฉันว่าเมื่อฉันใส่คำอธิบายภาพ มันยาวพอให้คุณอ่านได้ไหม หรือยาวหรือสั้นเกินไป
@@Vintage_Garage good morning there...(I guess that's the time in the States)...
Been watching reviews on Monkey...and came across your channel and woah it's also in Thai.
The timing is just perfect...and I think it's better not to leave those subs too long...cuz people would love to see the bike and you do the things you do. Or maybe subs at the bottom...(just saying)...
I think I'm going to get myself on the waitlist for Monkey.
Thank you again. And if you need any help with the translation...let me know...=)
@@annxumsai8662 Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated. I still don't know what to do with the text translations, but I appreciate knowing that they aren't too quickly displayed to read in Thai. While I watch CZcams videos on the CZcams app on my smart TV, CZcams analytics says that most of my subscribers watch my videos on their phones. It's hard to know what to do about size and placement of text, but at least I hear you say that they are displayed long enough to read, and some for too long, much appreciated.
I used to visit Thailand by cruise ship every year for several years before the first Cub House opened. Then I discovered the Cub Houses just about the time that cruise travel and all travel to Thailand was shut down. Now I realize that if I lived in Thailand, I'd have bought every Special Edition Monkey as soon as it hit the showroom.. LOL.. I'd have an Astro Boy, an Easter Egg, Hot Wheels, and all of them. On my last trip to Thailand, I visited five Cub Houses.. it's a good thing I couldn't carry a bunch of Monkeys home on the plane or I would have:
czcams.com/video/s6unUwmpHjc/video.html
Please let me know when your Monkey arrives, thanks and much appreciated.
@@Vintage_Garage wow...sounds like Cub House is the only place on your list...hahaha. Let me know the next time you're here in Bangkok. I could sure learn something from you.
Have a very good one. =)
Nice accessories!!!!! I would love a picture of both our monkeys side by side
Thanks, that is a good reminder that I forgot to update the web site with a photo of the new Monkey. I'll also add a photo of the two Monkeys side by side. much appreciated.
I updated the web site just now, the news page and the motorcycle page to add the yellow Monkey. I also put a photo of the pair at:

Thankyou ❤
@MotoTvWoodsFarm, Thanks for watching and your kind words. I've subscribed to your channel and am now enjoying watching your videos.. Thanks back at you.
This little Bike started Out Looking awesome Now it looks even better.🥨🥤💯
T H, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I agree! LOL.. The only thing I added to the yellow Monkey after making this video was a Motion J side rack to carry a spare gas tank. It was the same install as the Motion J install on my black Monkey, so I didn't make a video about it.
@@Vintage_Garage I really would like to get one but i'm having trouble finding one.
@@TH-bl9gg I hear you.. Monkey's are scarce here too. My local dealer received only one last year, the black one I bought, and they only received one so far this year, and it was presold to a man who had been on the waiting list for more than a year. The next closest dealer to me got one in this year, and that is the yellow one I bought. The larger dealers here get a few a year, and they mark them up about $800 each with dealer mystery fees.
@@Vintage_Garage 👍
Bravo nice job. Hope to get one soon myself
James, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I think you will be happy with your Monkey, and that it arrives soon. They are pretty scarce here in Florida with some dealers only getting one a year. Please report back here when you get yours.. thanks!
Μπράβο ρε παππού, σπέρνεις, μαστοράκι πρώτο, απόλαυση! Να είσαι πάντα καλά
Kostis, Ευχαριστώ για την παρακολούθηση και τα καλά σας λόγια..
we just picked up our 2023 ct125 from honda shop here in Alberta Canada
Joe, I share your excitement.. wish mine would come in!
Bought one here in Montreal last week, gets delivered Friday, they sell before they hit the dealers showroom. First time I saw one in the flesh I had to have it. So much bigger then the Mini back in the ‘70s. What a complete bike for the money.
Respect 🫡
@IndianRiderZRX, Thanks for watching and your kind comment, much appreciated.. I get many comments that I am too old and slow, but old and slow is better than nothing.. LOL
Very nice, headlight cover, handlebars and rear rack are must have to look better for monkey and comfort. Next week i'm going to bring mine one to home. I think its one of few videos that pushed me to buy this great bike :) Pozdrawiam z Polski
@pawestiven21, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. In this video, I installed a Kitaco rear rack that I bought from Webike. In a previous video, I install accessories on my first 2023 Monkey. In that video I installed a Gcraft rear rack. The Gcraft is lighter and is very pretty, but it bent when I made a trail ride with a filled up top box, so I made a follow-up video where I strengthened the Gcraft rear rack. I would highly recommend the Kitaco rear rack, but not the Gcraft rear rack that I used.
Well kitaco will be my choice
@@pawestiven21 That is a good choice. When I bought mine, the only sources for the Kitaco rear rack were in Japan. I never saw one in Thailand. A quick search just now shows many choices for rear racks that I had never seen before, including some that ship from California. When I search eBay for Kitaco Monkey 125 rear rack, I see a lot or rear racks that aren't Kitaco. The genuine Kitaco may be available from UK and European sellers and that is new info for me that search just uncovered.
I will do research.
Good job
schlenderfam, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated.
bonsoir a vous et bravo pour votre vidéo super Marielle et gilles de France👍
@mariellelatil4520 Marielle and Giles, Merci d'avoir regardé et de vos aimables paroles, très appréciées.
I'm not really into a lot of the mods done here, but I should be picking up my 23 yellow monkey tomoz in about 12 hrs time, and I can see from your video that the bike is just gorgeous!! My fav model yet, even though I think this years Red is the best colour option, I just really love the Yellow, it's soo much fun, and stands out, the silver tank and plaid seat compliments it perfectly (although that's up for debate for some?), I'll have to check out some more vids... good work!!
CrustyBiker, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. When Honda announced the red and yellow, I liked the red better as the red plaid seat was really eye catching. Then my local dealer got a yellow in a few months ago, but it was already presold to a man. I did get a chance to see it before the buyer loaded it up and took it away. Once I saw the yellow, I decided I liked the yellow better than the red.. LOL I think you made the right call.
Yellow is the better one but here in Socal, majority dealerships only have red. I don't think I can wait any longer so I'll settle for a red. Looking to sign papers this coming week. But all in all, seems like such a fun & reliable bike. Would love to take it on the freeways though.
@@SummerEaze When I first saw the colors for the 2023 Monkey, I thought red was best. My local dealer only received one Monkey so far this year. It was yellow, and it was already spoken for, but I at least got a look at it before it left the dealership. I decided then that yellow was best as I have a lot of red Hondas. Then when I walked into Action Honda, I was surprised to see that they had just unboxed a yellow and nobody had dibs on it, so I bought it on the spot. LOL
@@Vintage_Garage it was destiny haha. Hey good news, I made a deposit and signed papers for a red monkey today. Im excited yay!!!
@@SummerEaze That is great news! I really like the red plaid seat.. hope you report back once it is delivered and you have ridden it..
❤
Johan, Thanks for watching adf your kind comments. I don't have many viewers from France, so I appreciate your comments even more.
Tip top pépé
Merci d'avoir regardé et de vos aimables paroles.
Thanks for sharing the accessories. What's the requirement of the rear carries with Quro top case?
@pnicare6721. Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I might not understand your question, but I think you are asking how much the Quro top case can hold. The weight limit is set by the Kitaco rear carrier at at approximately 7.0kg, and the top box itself can hold 33 liters of items. It is easy to fill the top case with more weight than the rear carrier can handle. However, I think the rear carrier can hold more weight than specified, but perhaps more weight will adversely affect the handling of the Monkey 125.
ご視聴とコメント、誠にありがとうございます。 質問の意味が分からないかもしれませんが、Quro のトップケースにどれくらいの容量が入るかということだと思います。 キタコ製リアキャリアの耐荷重は約7.0kgで、トップボックス単体で33リットルの荷物を積むことができます。 リアキャリアが扱える以上の重量をトップケースに詰め込むのは簡単です。 ただし、リアキャリアは規定以上の重量に耐えられると思いますが、重量が増えるとモンキー125のハンドリングに悪影響を及ぼす可能性があります。
@@Vintage_Garage Thanks for such a detailed explanation! Sorry about the confusion. My question was does the Quro top case require a specific rear carrier? From your previous video, first you put a different brand rear carrier, then you replaced with Kitaco rear carrier ( it is discontinued...) Hope this time I make it clear : ) Thanks
Thanks.. I think I understand what you are asking. On the first one, I used a Gcraft rear rack, and found that the rack was too weak to support a full top box. I discovered that it was starting to bend, so I made strengthening beams out of angle iron for the Gcraft rack. The video about making the Gcraft rack stronger is here:
czcams.com/video/2cXnhkJknlU/video.html
Because the Gcraft rack wasn't up to the job, I decided to try the Kitaco rack on the next Monkey install. The Quro box will fit on any rack, as it has no mounting setup other than just drilling holes in the bottom of it and then using cross bars under the rack to hold it in place. It would even work on the now-obsolete Monkey OEM accessory rack, but I am not sure how strong that rack is, as I have never used one. The Kitaco rack is very strong and has good geometry in the bracing. I do see that both the black and silver racks are out of stock now as you say. That is a shame, but sometimes Webike is conservative on their time estimates, and so it is worth an email to Webike to ask for an update.
👍
@pequenofp, Thanks for watching and the thumbs up, much appreciated.
where did you get the heat sheld from thanks
Mark, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. We're assuming that by heat shield, you are referring to what is called the Chrome Exhaust Pipe Protector at 25:13 in the video. The description field in the video has links to all of the accessories we installed on the Monkey. The OEM chrome pipe cover, as well as many of the other parts came from beezdeals.com. Here is link link from the description field:

Did you sell your CT125? I have a CT125 but I have been looking hard at the Monkey.
@terrykeil6751, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I haven't sold any of my five CT125s, but am getting almost to old to ride them any longer. They are starting to feel too heavy when stopped for a traffic light.
Isn't putting stuff on the Monkey fun? To me it was so therapeutic. Expensive... but therapeutic. That windscreen is perfect on that bike. Going to put you on the spot, which Monkey color do you prefer most? I find yellow the most vintagish. But the black looks very 😎. Hows that seat pattern look in person? I'm kind of liking the regular black seat more.
I think the seat on the 2024 black is the same seat as the seat on my 2023 yellow, and I like it. There were three colors in 2023, black yellow, and red, but only yellow and red were imported into the USA,. The tanks were all variations of white and silver, and the color was only on the headlight brackets, shocks and front down tubes. The red had a red plaid seat, and the black and yellow had a gray/black plaid. I think from what I can see, the 2024s are identical to the 2023, except the USA gets black and red, but not yellow for 2024.
@@Vintage_Garage I agree on them looking identical. I like your black version more. Tank looks sharper. I was trying to figure out the plaid seat idea. Looked up the original Z Monkey and saw a red one with that seat pattern. So must be a throw back idea. Thanks again for the info 👍
Hello from Spain. I love your videos. I’m passionate in love with Honda 125cc bikes and the way you perform them. I’ve recently brought a second hand Monkey that I’m in love to. I’d like to ask you about tires for this bike. My rear tire is about to die even though it has only lasted about 5000 miles. Is it normal? I’m talking about Vee Rubber 130/80-12. Any good options? Thanks for your videos. Greetings from Europe. And, please, excuse my poor English. 😢
Santos, Thanks for watching and your kind words, much appreciated. No worries about your poor English, it is better than my poor Spanish. I will use Google Translate at the end of this comment, to try to say the same things in Spanish. First of all, I think 5,000 miles is about all you can expect to get out of the Monkey rear tire, so I think your tire wear is normal. Unfortunately this is not first hand information as I only have 400 miles so far on my new 2023 Monkey and only about 2,000 miles on my 2023 Monkey. it is just what I have heard other people say. If it were me, I would replace your rear tire with another OEM tire from your Honda dealer. In the USA, the tire would be TIRE, RR. (130/80-12 69J) (VEE) 42711-K0F-T03. With that said, I am also not a "tire guy". I am also not a "sprockets and chains guy". I am also not a "Shocks guy". I am also not a "big bore kit guy". I am also not a "exhaust system guy". All of those guys are looking for performance items because they are unhappy with what Honda engineers decided to select for their motorcycles. Those guys are looking for more speed, or more of something else than they can get OEM from Honda. If you ask a "tire guy" what tire to get, they will probably have a recommendation other than OEM, and they will feel strongly about their choice. I am old and slow, and so what Honda installs is good enough for me, and I am not looking for better, stronger, or faster. If you have a look at this forum:
www.advrider.com/f/threads/the-honda-monkey-thread.1321471/
You will find some tire guys, some sprocket and chain guys, and so on. Unfortunately, the comments are in English, but if you ask your question about tires there, you will get some more information about other brands of tires for the Monkey 125. Unfortunately, there are over 160 pages of comments, so you might have to search there for "tires" to find comments about tires. One other thing, if you haven't noticed, I have two Monkey playlists. The first is about technical installations:

The second is about Monkey rides:

Again, thanks for watching, and like you, I like Monkeys.
Santos, gracias por mirar y sus amables palabras, muy apreciadas. No te preocupes por tu pobre inglés, es mejor que mi pobre español. Usaré Google Translate al final de este comentario, para tratar de decir lo mismo en español. En primer lugar, creo que 5000 millas es todo lo que puede esperar obtener de la llanta trasera Monkey, por lo que creo que el desgaste de la llanta es normal. Desafortunadamente, esta no es información de primera mano, ya que solo tengo 400 millas hasta ahora en mi nuevo Monkey 2023 y solo alrededor de 2,000 millas en mi Monkey 2023. es justo lo que he oído decir a otras personas. Si fuera yo, reemplazaría su llanta trasera con otra llanta OEM de su distribuidor Honda. En los EE. UU., el neumático sería TIRE, RR. (130/80-12 69J) (VEE) 42711-K0F-T03. Dicho esto, tampoco soy un "chico de neumáticos". Tampoco soy un "chico de piñones y cadenas". Tampoco soy un "tipo de choques". Tampoco soy un "tipo de kit de gran calibre". Tampoco soy un "chico del sistema de escape". Todos esos muchachos están buscando elementos de rendimiento porque no están contentos con lo que los ingenieros de Honda decidieron seleccionar para sus motocicletas. Esos muchachos están buscando más velocidad, o más de algo más de lo que pueden obtener OEM de Honda. Si le pregunta a un "tipo de llantas" qué llanta comprar, probablemente tendrá una recomendación que no sea OEM. Soy viejo y lento, por lo que lo que instala Honda es lo suficientemente bueno para mí, y no busco algo mejor, más fuerte o más rápido. Si echas un vistazo a este foro:
www.advrider.com/f/threads/the-honda-monkey-thread.1321471/
Encontrará algunos chicos de neumáticos, algunos chicos de piñones y cadenas, y así sucesivamente. Desafortunadamente, los comentarios están en inglés, pero si hace su pregunta sobre neumáticos allí, obtendrá más información sobre otras marcas de neumáticos para el Monkey 125. Desafortunadamente, hay más de 160 páginas de comentarios, por lo que es posible que deba buscar allí para "llantas" para encontrar comentarios sobre llantas. Otra cosa, si no te has dado cuenta, tengo dos listas de reproducción de Monkey. El primero es sobre instalaciones técnicas:
czcams.com/play/PLzD0_ErwwkDBdfdETWjJIOZIUs5Uo0K8G.html
El segundo es sobre paseos en mono:

Una vez más, gracias por mirar, y como tú, me gustan los monos.
Thanks for you answer. I really appreciate it. I completely agree with you. I did not buy a Monkey to ride fast but to enjoy a simple, fun, beautiful accessible motorcycle. I honestly don`t need a single more mile per hour on my monkey, but I also expected my monkey to be a cheap to maintain motorcycle and I’ve suddenly realized that it is not that cheap at least about tires. The 130/80r12 69 tires price is alómate the double of a 130/70r12. And what about it’s durability? I’ve ridden motorcycles all my entire life and 5000 miles for a 9 horse power motorcycle is not a terrible work for a tire, I suppose. Anyhow, I do not regret buying my Monkey, I’ll pay expensive tires for her and enjoy it´s beauty. I also own a 34 year old Honda Transalp; a much bigger and faster bike but I drive exactly at the same speed on any of them. I love slow motorcicyng. Many thanks again for your answer. It’s a honor for me to chat you. Congratulations for your Chanel and thank you for your videos. You are an inspiration and an example of how to enjoy our passions for motorbikes despite any fact as age. Congrats and all the best
@@santosvega4980 Thanks for the kind words.. it sound like our riding styles are similar.. I am hoping to be riding for at least a couple more years..
How do you like your Monkey compared to other Hondas you own like your CT125?
@maddogblue, I have two Monkey 125s, two Super Cub 125s, and four Trail 125s. The Trails are starting to feel a bit heavy, and even on good asphalt and concrete pads, it is starting to get tricky turning them around while standing next to them. I haven't dropped one yet, but have come close to it a couple of times. I do like the step through design of the Cubs, and the Monkey is hard to mount and dismount with a top case on the rear. For my use, a top case is a must have. I also don't like that the Monkey's don't have center stands and kick starters. The Super Cubs feel lighter than the Trails, and the step through with no center rack is best. The downside of the Super Cub is the Smart Key System, no wiring in the main harness for a side stand switch and no kick starter. The Trails have everything with no downside except for weight and feeling bit top heavy when stopped. Once riding, all feel comfortable and easy to ride. The Monkey is probably better than the Trail for trail riding as long as deep water is not expected.
@Vintage_Garage Thanks for the detail. I have a 2019 cub and love the semi auto transmission. I find the seating a bit cramped for my 5'10 and long legs and the seat is pretty bad after 30 mins. The monkey seems just as cramped but rhe seat looks comphy. How is the monkey in longer rides for comfort?
@@madogblue That is a tough call. A lot of people complain about seat comfort on both the Super Cub and the Trail 125, but for me, they are very comfortable. There are less complaints about the Monkey seat as it is definitely softer. When you say longer rides, I assume that means highway riding. If so, then the Super Cub is your best bet. If you mean trail riding, then the Monkey is your best bet if you don't want a Trail 125. At 5'10 inches, you will be very cramped on a Trail 125, and the bar on the rear rack will be a problem. I am 5'6" and all three are comfortable for me, and fit me like a glove. All three have many custom seat choices and seat cover choices, so it is obvious that you aren't alone.
Thank You for this Video👍🏼You Are a old Monkey❤
Jo,
Thanks for watching and your kind words, much appreciated.. Yes, old and slow! But still riding.. LOL
from where to buy MOTORWOLF CROSSBAR ?
John, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I buy them directly from the Motowolf Store at:
www.motowolfstore.com/
They are under accessories. I discovered Motowolf when I realized that the H2C mobile phone holders were Motowolf, and thought the quality was pretty good. The cross bars come either plain, with compass, with clock, or with compass and clock. I like the ones with just the compass, but the last time I ordered, they were out of stock, so I had to order a plain one. Links to all of the accessories including the crossbar are in the description field of the video.
Where did you order accessories? Can you give address?
mutlu pur. Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. Many of the accessories were purchased from beezdeals.com, and the rear rack came from Webike. Some of the small remaining items were bought on eBay, or Motowolf. The address of each purchase is shown in the description field. You have to click on the words "Show more" at the end of the description to see the complete description to see all the links. Then click on each link one by one to see the details of each. Please let me know if you find them, thanks.
Brilliant educational work proving Darwin’s theory of evolution. We get to see how a simple Monkey evolved in 12 simple upgrades to a full tool operating homo sapient. I’m pretty sure now that in our evolution we had wheels before speech. ❤😂
Kamil, Thanks for watching and your kind words, much appreciated. I hear you on speaking.. LOL.. The only man I know that is fluent in Japanese, Thai, and English is Samurai Rider. I can't speak Japanese, nor Thai, and I am practically deaf, so learning them is impossible for me this late in life. Speaking only in English will not help my Thai or Japanese viewers. I pretty much have to leave the installation noises and the background birds speak for themselves. If you haven't watched Samurai Ride, please have a look:

Hello are you happy with the Monkey bike ? Thank you from Belgium
@mxseba7232, Thanks for watching and your comment. Yes, still happy with both of my Monkey 125s. I rotate between the black 2022 and the yellow 2023 equally. They are as good as my CT125s on the trails here as long as there is no deep water expected on the ride. The options on the black and the yellow are a bit different, so if you have time, you might want to go back through my videos and see how the black one is outfitted as well.
@@Vintage_Garage ok Thank you very much 😊 i will come and Watch your vidéos …have à Nice day
외국인도 하는건 다 똑같네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
시청해 주시고 의견을 보내주셔서 감사합니다. 악세사리를 추가하는건 모터사이클 라이더들이 좋아하는 전 세계의 취미인거 같아요.. ㅋㅋㅋ
