Great description of your experience riding the Monkey. I am 65 and grew up with mini bikes. For our riding generation, they reignite the joyous inner experience and memories of our childhood. They remind us of how much dang fun they are to ride and bring back the carefree kid that we once were.
I am fairly old and have had my share of major setbacks in life. Life can be pretty cruel. But when I ride my Monkey, I am 13 again with a big smile on my face.

I’ve had my ‘21 Monkey for two years and commented on your channel before. It sits beside my Super Glide. I cannot take that little bike anywhere without drawing a small crowd of smiles. It always makes me smile and I’m a kid again when riding it. Isn’t that the idea? I love it.

seeing you happily riding that little monkey, just finally convinced me to buy one, Im 60 and as you guys, I grew with mini bikes, Id never forget that sensation of riding my trail 70cc, it was fun and I felt free..
today, I want to feel the same...

“The Honda monkey is nothing but the truth”. Brought a tear to my eye bro. Well said.

Great video! I'm finding my VFR getting a bit heavy as I get older and seriously thinking about a Monkey for everyday use around town. Thanks for the inspiration Willie.

Willie, I like your music. It is inspired by the time, it's nostalgic. Kind regards from Germany

[WorkingClassFishingPodcast]

Those bikes are so nostalgic, I love watching all your videos so just cruising around your neighborhood! Great stuff as usual Willie!

I enjoyed your video. I wanted a 125 Monkey the moment Honda launched them but was yet to be in a position to treat myself. Last year, retired, l bought a 1000 mile 2018 yellow one and loved it. Then unexpectedly another purchase came along and l sold Monkey to a friend/neighbour. Although happy with my new purchase l really missed the fun of Monkey. A couple of weeks ago a 477 mile 2023 yellow one became available and l snapped it up. I’m in my late 50s 6’4” and ride it as l rode bikes in my teens, spirited, that’s the magic of Monkey!

My monkey almost draws too much attention. When I park it at a gas station and go in for a coke, I come out and somebody wants to ask you all about it. It is my favorite possession. I like to go slow, maybe 45 mph.

Hi Willie, Love your videos. I’m also a member of the early 50’s club. I’ve ridden my 2019 Honda Monkey for three summers now and I love it. I’m 6’ tall and I honestly find the bike very comfortable. This year, my brother bought a 2020 Honda Super Cub and we had a blast riding all over on our little Hondas! 😀It felt like when we were kids riding our stingray style 20” bicycles all over. This summer our typical Saturday was covering 100-120 miles on little back roads and catching breakfast or lunch out and about. Looking forward to planning some longer trips in the future. We live in WI, so we just put the Hondas away for winter. It was a sad day. Hard to think we have to wait almost six months to get them out and ride again. 😢 Ride safe and keep the videos coming!

i'm 74 and i've had my monkey 4 yrs. love it and will ride as long as possible, and then give it to my great grandson.

[bwagner]

It's indeed a lovely bike. I sold mine this summer and missed it so much that i bought another. Always fun!

[twistandgo]

Yup! I love mine! Done more crazy stuff and had more adventures than with any other bike i’ve had really. 2k miles on this bike alone this year since march. 400 mile days no problem, off road riding ? no problem! Random exploring and adventures!? no problem. The bikes willing to do it all… the only question remains.. Are you? And it does it with such simplicity and nostalgia and above all - Fun! that’s what makes it a great bike. i’m 6ft 4 and find it all day comfortable, best darn bike seat on the market i’d say! - lovely little video!

I got a 2021 monkey & I honestly love the thing & I'm 33. It isn't as fast as my 2022 KTM 390 Duke but I find it hard to get off it when the day is over. It's a blast. I got a full yoshimura RS3 exhaust, a mnnthbx intake & it's just honestly a blast. I get so many compliments asking me at gas stations how old it is. They are absolutely blown away when I tell them it's a 2021. Lol. Everything you said about it nailed it right on the head! Good vid man!

[halbm]

Thank you for the super sweet video and narrative. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda". God Bless.

I recently turned 65 years old and bought myself a scooter. I have to say watching your explanation brought a tear to my eyes because I can relate. Every time I ride my scooter it brings me back to my youth, riding mini bikes through the trails in the back of my house. Wonderful. A two wheeled 9 hp time machine, classic line.

Amazing
Such an honest brief, review. Nothing but TRUTH
Loved watching and commentary ❤

Here in the UK Monkey is very popular. My first bike was a Honda Z50J as a 12 year old living in Dubai, riding across the untouched desert. So when the Z125J released I had to have one and my yellow 2020 Monkey is my pride and joy. Many like me, have it as a second bike. But I really have to force myself to ride anything else now! Thanks for this mate. it sums up exactly how I feel :)

[hondamonkeyboy]

I'm in the UK and bought my yellow Monkey new back in April 2019. I've done almost 10000 miles on it which have all been leisure miles. That should say everything about what it means to me.

On vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains sitting on the deck in the am watching Willy and the Honda Monkey. Great vid Willy and kudos to the video editor...awesome work!
