My 2021 honda monkey was my first motorcycle and I loved it. It got stolen right out of my apartment parking lot and was never recovered :( I ended up replacing it with a 2022 RE Himalayan but I still miss that little guy to this day.

I keep up fine in a 55mph highway. It can hold 60 on flats or even get to 65 with good winds. Zero passing power and drops under 55 on hills

[danielreigada]

That's impressively fast for a 125. My Suzuki GZ250 has a top speed of 70-75

[The_RC_Guru]

I did exhaust but that’s all with the engine as I want it to last forever with minimal extra wear from more HP. But I got barkbusters, mobbers, 14/37 gearing, Speedo healer, back rack, windshield, handlebar brace, headlight visor, fog lights, foam grip puppies over grips, t-Rex crash bars, and I’m sure I’m missing something lol. It’s a nice little tank that’s a joy to putt putt around on! Thanks for the vids guys it’s nice to see so many getting loved and used.

A mini moto can handle the highway just fine, The problem is that no one does the speed limit. Everyone speeds.

[TheIrishPhantom]

Mines a 20' Monkey and I threw the TB cam in it to help with top end and re-geared for more speed 14/32. Easiest cam swap ever and now I can ride my 45 mile trip to work with plenty of speed to spare. If I couldn't hold 65 people would run me over even though the speed limit is 55.
I'm the same with swapping bikes but the Monkey stays in the stable. It's treated different and stays inside the house during the holidays, I usually hang Christmas gifts from the bars 😂
Glad to see y'all enjoy the Monkey and you have the fastest color... BLUE

Alex I notice that you generally ride in the right part of your lane. I always try to ride in left part of my lane, just to the right of the left lane marker. I always felt that puts you more directly in the vision of the driver of a following car and potential left turners from the opposite direction. Of course the center of the lane is where the slippery stuff is. What are your thoughts?

❤️❤️❤️LOVE THE POV RIDE ALONGS ALEX 👏👏👏

[caspforge]

Love the monkey. I have a z125 and it's a little slower because it's stock but plenty capable. I have 55mph country roads around me to get to the next town and it's ok for a few minutes till you get into town

[forrestcrabbe]

ridin those tiny bikes at the limit of their capabilities is awesome fun. i loved my ruckus but i think i want a monkey

[ssudppf]

Neat mini moto. You’re just making the petrochemical companies happy buying that premium juice like most folks that do that.

[andyderby]

My 21 monkey only does 56 miles per hour down hill pegged, I got an intake, module flash and a black widow high pipe, since the mods the battery runs down while sitting and I have heard other people with the same problem? Yea the new ones have a five speed but they ruined the paint scheme, I’m very happy with the bike it rips up the back roads.

Hey bro, I have a 2015 Grom and at the time I lived in Jacksonville FL .Well riding from Daytona back to Jacksonville my stock Grom maintained over 60 mph for over 1hr, even seeing 64 for half a second. I still have the same Grom and I haven't had any issues at all . I don't advise anyone to overspend on speed mods because it can be a big waste of money....also I'm 200lbs.

[WarrenRCG]

It would be fun seeing you ride it around that go kart course.

[the_jarmel]

👏👏👏 68 mph .... This was a cool video Alex .. I even laughed a few times ... I'm looking forward to the rides in the snow too lol

[PaulThompsonGB]

2023 owner and I got 56 once. I'd say 52 is normal tops for me. I weigh in just over 200 myself.

[ReachOutToWilliam]

Below 150cc as titled illegal on freeways and limited access highways in Cali. On-ramps are marked as motor-driven cycles prohibited. If not marked, OK (this is only in areas where there are no alternate routes available).

[cristiansimental]

I enjoyed your video bro, I'm about to buy one to ride from milliken to longmont, I was afraid I couldn't keep up with traffic in Highway 66,

[andyderby]

Mine is not fast enough for the highway and I only have an 8th mile of highway to get to the backroads and the speed limit is 60 so the idiots do 75 or 80 and its hard not to die on that 8th mile, I was going to trade it in on a XR650L but Honda is building white Yamaha motorcycles now with black wheels 😖looks like garbage and you can’t find a red one used in STL misery.

[MNUTZ]

Such a nice looking bike love that classic design
