The best reviewer, wearing a harley shirt on a 125cc circus bike means this guy doesn't take himself seriously at all. Kudos.

I’m 53. I am on my 5th Harley. Im 5’8”, 210 lbs. I too live in Western Pa. In my garage, there is a Super Glide and a 2021 Monkey just like yours. On the wall is a picture from a long time ago of a smiling little fella, about 7 years old, on a blue and white 1971 Honda Mini Trail 50. The little Honda puts a huge smile on my face every single time I look at it. Riding it is pure joy. I’ll never sell it. Ever. Enough said.

I got a 2022 and it’s still a 4 speed, I’m 6 foot 330 pounds so yeah I get all kinds of looks, got the 300lb rear shocks, M-take kit , black widow exhaust, break away billet shifter, 14 tooth front sprocket, reflashed ECM, mirror extender , chrome rear rack, billet frame side seat hole plugs and put a handle bar clock because you will loose track of time, needs front fork upgrade bad! The suspension is junk when you buy them.

Driven flat out on twisty country roads I’m getting 105 miles to a US gallon. At that rate, the full tank will take you 160 miles so ignore the fuel gauge and start looking for a fill up at about the 140 mile mark. Although I hypermile my car, I can’t be arsed to drive this bike slowly to see what it’s max MPG is! If you wanna know, you do it! If it ain’t doing 9,000 rpm, it ain’t in need of a higher gear yet! In an emergency, a half litre hip flask of fuel should get you 15/20 miles if you accidentally run it dry!
