There was just so much to do at the Barber Small Bore event I had an entire series worth of footage! In this video, I go over my highlights from the vendor area and look at the cool bikes and parts from the manufacturers who are producing some pretty cool parts for the Honda Monkey and Honda Grom

Great video, man! You took us through cool stuff and it felt natural. Too many KZfaqrs seem like they're acting for a child's television show by getting overly expressive.

I havent been on a bike in 40 years, and then I ran into a video of a Monkey a few days ago. Then I saw a price of $4200 and I about fell over. Now Im seeing all this aftermarket support, and its got me thinking...

The Termignoni is 595$ for only the slip on, i don't think they make a header Termignoni is mostly known for aftermarket Ducati exhausts. The best looking Monkey exhaust in my opinion is the Akrapovic.

@John5XR 5 жыл бұрын

Pricey, but probably titanium also, which is where the costs come from. I personally wanted the cat gone, so a slip-on wasn’t on my radar

@ratscoot 5 жыл бұрын

Indeed, getting rid of the cat greatly improves the ground clearance. I suspect this to be a quality item, Termignoni doesn't make crap. They also make beautiful carbon exhausts.

You’re 100% right! I have Termis on my Ducatis and they’re phenomenal but not really a good add-on for my ‘21 Monkey
