Thank you. I've been looking at them for several years, and the 2023 model had the perfect color. I just love that plaid seat.

That is awesome. That's a long wait for sure. I'm really digging ownership of the monkey. Check out my other video where I was out yesterday with some friends cutting it up around the neighborhood. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n66brbh8ts_bj2w.html It's not the fastest thing on the road but it sure is fun. Congratulations Ray. You are about the enjoy some of the best style of riding.

That is great. Yellow is cool and I think they both, red and Yellow both come with the plaid seat for 2023. There is also a few for sale on the Facebook groups if things don't work out at the dealer.

That is awesome. I really like the color they offered for the 2023 model.

$4249. Then there's $676 freight and $200 prep. They also charged a document fee of $150. That's about all they got from me short of taxes and registration fee. Total OTD $5700.00

Thanks

My dealer doesn’t charge any freight no doc fee no setup free. Just MSRP plus tax.

Sorry about that. That was a little sarcasm. Now that I have the TB exhaust installed now go back and forth on riding with the silencer in place or having it removed.

@@darmiejr oh I see. I’m a foreigner so I did’nt pick up the sarcasm :p Joke aside, you prefer stock or louder?

@@Swingmeg I did like the quietness when it was stock but really love it with a bit of volume. The TB exhaust it a touch loud when it on it all day but sounds good for short rides. Longer ride I put the silencer in.

Thank you. They are not fast but a joy to ride. I always look forward to riding it.

I bet you could make some cash reselling. Usually the yellow model is left behind. I called 12 dealers and only 2 called me back.

@@darmiejr I told my wife I’m getting back into riding again and would like her blessings because I will be buying soon. It’s either a Yamaha super Tenere, 2017-2018 Kawasaki versys 1000, or a 2023 Honda monkey. 😂🤣 not even joking

@@americandude3825 The Monkey works for me but I don't think it's the do all bike. I have a 2013 wing to ride on the highway when needed. Good friend has the Versys and makes for a great all around bike. I had a Vstrom years ago and that was a do it all bike. The 600 was the better choice. I owned a TU250 for years and rode over 12,000 miles on it. My goal with the monkey is a 181 kit and make it more of a backroad 75 plus without tucking. Tucking with drafting it will do 60 now. There are SO MANY bikes to choose from. Best of luck. Maybe your wife will ride with you on the Versys.

@@darmiejr you dont need a 181 kit for 75+

@@Monkey-biz Thank you. I'm going to take my time doing any more to it. Want to do some riding.
