Can't wait to buy my Monkey this summer, had a 2014 Grom in 2014 when they came out. Sold it to buy a 2017 FZ09, big mistake. The FZ was fast, big, fun but too much bike for my needs. Missed my Grom too much, sold the FZ09 to buy a 2019 CB300R, aka the Big Grom. Loved it, did everything right but I crashed into a deer going 90kmh. The CB didn't survive 😢 After one year without riding I'm ready to ride again, all healed up, so it's Monkey time 😊 Love watching your videos, they are very well made. Beautiful Monkey, good choice in mods 👍

Greetings from this side of the Atlantic Ocean!😃 The dramatic event that ocurred, when he was on his way to work, was awesome! Even way better than the whole last Star Wars triology with Rey!💯🤣 I could easily imagine it being narrated by David Attenborough, like a british voice describing a mating ritual in a episode of National Geographic.😂 "The human species is a curious one... Often the male ask some kind of permission to the female, less the male doesn't mind peeling his banana on his own later at night... So, this grumpy male, was on his way to work... But, was unfortunate to step on a banana peel, left on the ground by some other primate that populate the area... And after crashing its body against the coconut tree nearby, on his way to ground, he was hit&encapsulated by a falling coconut, which made him groggy... Like a drunk kung fu motorcyclist at Sturgis during the Wet T-Shirt Contest... Until he finally stumbled and falls on a working 2 wheel monkey raft and he's taken away by the river of tarmac, very far, far away from that place..." 😅 Wow! I've never seen such a seat! That seat looks really great, specially if you're looking to photograph your bike, but the original is way better to ride a long trip.🍑❤🩹 Beautiful and interesting scenarios on your way to Sturgis! Nice choice of melodies as well. And the roads look in good shape... It makes wanna ride on it. Was it boring, taking in account the fact that Honda Monkey has very low maximum speed, and the jurney made on very long straight roads? I love H.D. bikes but i have the same opinion about it: overrated and overpriced, indeed. And they overconsume too much fuel too. «The Honda Fury resembles a Praying Mantis!» - Hilarious analogy!!!🤣I love that bike! Not the insect in matter.😅 The Honda VTX is impressive! Great choice! Have a great week, ride safe, and watch good movies!🏍💨✌😎 (PS: you forgot to turn On the automatic Subtitles.😉)
@notagain86616 ай бұрын
Well, 1# you found out the bigger original seat, although not as "Cool looking" as the little thin silly seat. Would have made this trip a lot more live able. I made the almost same exact trip from MN in a Jeep Grand Cherokee last fall, and my butt never got sore!

What an adventure. I bet you wished you had put the stock seat back on for that ride. You're inspiring me to try a longer road trip. I have a 2019 Monkey and love it. After riding the Monkey for three years, I thought bigger would be better as well and purchased a KTM 390 Adventure. I'm glad I kept the Monkey because I don't like the KTM after all. I would like to test ride the new Honda SCL500 and the new Triumph 400's that are coming out. I sat on the SCL at my local dealership and it kind of felt like a larger Monkey, so I'm anxious to give it a go. Looking forward to your future videos.
