    OK Helmet Head. I've watched almost all of your videos, but finally subscribed. You've earned it. Your enthusiasm and the effort you put into all of your footage and drone shots is really good. I know you like your new Himalayan, but keep the Honda Monkey content coming. I love my 2019!

    Honda builds a great bike. I'm 65 years young my first vehicle was a motorcycle a 350 Honda. Since then I have always had a Honda bike. Even now I own a 2003 loaded Goldwing 1800 (absolutely bad ass machine). But to big to haul out and go to the store. Thinking about getting one for the neighborhood, I will use it more. plus 157mpg is nothing to piss at..

    I like the mods they've done to the 2022 version, but it looks like they've cheaped out on the painting side by only painting the tank and the shock springs, I love the way yours has bottom frame banana yellow and you can see the yellow shining through the gaps in the running gear, if you love the yellow, you want to see the yellow, such a shame..

If I was ruler of the world, I would decree that all cars must be Suzuki Jimnys and all bike's should be honda monkey's, no-one shall drive a car with less than 1 passenger and public transport shall be mini road trains with open topped trailer carriages or closed winter ones.. 😅 I would not be the most popular ruler ever, but I think people would warm to me when they see how much better the roads are.. 😅

  • @infpmatt
    @infpmatt Před 3 měsíci

    I've got one. Top speed us 57, and it does hold up a road traffic from time to time. Obviously the one on test is moddified, but even so a genuine 80mph indicated is impossible. I suspect the sprocket has been changed which is now causing the speedo to over read by a large margin. Be under no illusion, these are surprisingly capable little bikes, but on a and b roads you will be full throttle and rarely if ever doing the UK national limit. My one is unmodified, I have once made an indicated 62mph down hill, the speedo over reads a little, 31 is actually 29mph.

The bike before was a Harley-Davidson and i was a member of a Brotherhood, then i Saw the Monkey in a showroom and that was love at first sight.
