[RidingSince]

On May 17th. 2024 I bought a 2024 Honda Monkey 125 it is now Sept. 10th. and I officially hit 5, 000 miles on my Mini Moto on the way home from work last night. I seem to be getting 140mpg on my Monkey. I'm around 215lbs. and i typically carry around 25lbs. of luggage Wherever I Go. I started Riding two wheels back in 1980 on a 49cc Puch Maxi Sport Moped and when I turned 18 I got my first Motorcycle and I've had a lot of good times Riding over the years. Love your Videos guys 👍👍👍👍👍

I love my Papio SS that i purchased in January. Over 3k on the clock now. This and the Surron light bee certainly changed my mind on chinese bikes

Me and a buddy both recently bought 25 groms and another great friend got a Benelli TNT135 as her first bike. Love these videos!

You should start and finish by filling at the same pump. Use a level and stand the bike up and use a wooden ruler so you can get the exact amount same on each bike. Switch riders at exactly half the trip. This should give you more reliable results.

Price wise CF Moto Papio vs Grom? Plus run the 5 speed transmission. Do it please.

Guys, these videos are really neat. I enjoy the heck out of these in the morning, with my coffee. I’d love to ride these minimotos, but I’m a big guy. I’d look like a golf ball on a playing card.
Every time, though, I keep waiting for someone to bring out the dad joke about “…touching your Monkey…”

[kevinmurtagh]

I have been taking mine to a lot of festivals, money saved on petrol, used for extra food drinks and T shirt

[thebigguy]

Thank you Alex and Kase, Always enjoy your reviews. Although my body type (XXL) dictates more a larger cycle - like Triumph Rock 3

heck yeah i just left estes park, boulder is a nice town

[andrewsmith]

Before the snow flies, we still need to shoot a canyon run. We can use my Schwinn 150 scooter as the camera bike. Ready when you are to do a mini-moto cornering video.

On my grom i redlined every second i rode it just to ride and im 210lbs and i averaged right at 80mpg all the time.
I wonder if that would be different on the papio

[The_RC_Guru]

I love my 21 non abs red monkey more every year.

Had a 1999 Kawasaki KLR 250 that got around 70-75 MPG and I thought that was pretty cool. But all the motorbikes I have had and or ridden, that was the only one I ever checked the MPG on. lol I assume few people riding motorbikes raise eye brows about the MPG. It is what it is. You will kill most 4 wheel vehicles in MPG, even if you cannot kill them in range.

Do a comparison with the papio ss and the grom

[josephreisinger]

Wish you tested the Grom. In my opinion, I would stick with Japanese and I'm a snob. I'll pick Honda every time. The Honda's have been made for several years now. Parts availability is not a problem.

I think it'd be nice to test the fuel economy of a slightly larger displacement bike or even a scooteragainst the mini motos My Navi gets only about 70 miles per gallon at best when I'm maxed out, would be interested to see if a slightly larger displacement bike just keeping up with the smaller one does

[MikeyMiniMoto]

This is the 5th TFL video in the past two months comparing the same two bikes. C’mon, man!

[lesheath]

You should throw in the Binelli 135, its more along the line of the Monkey as far as torque.

[conniewaite]

There is a guy who has a monkey fully outfitted and packed up and went to Sturgis on the hiway! Think he was from Michigan or Wisc

[jeffwinters]

Lifan Kp mini 150 I think is better if you would test up to you
