@@SamVBikes exactly! I must get a go on one. A funny thing though is that our techs were recently analyzing and mixing paint for an original monkey and he didn't like it being called that and insisted it was referred to it's technical name. I'm tempted to say he went ape! Oh, I just did 😂😂

Hi Sam , be warned your heading into a dangerous world , your laughing now , this will change into love , I started with a 2019 monkeybike which I bough new and I never even seen one ,at the time I had a ninja H2 , Ducati diavel , triumph rocket 3 , get the picture I like bikes and power !! I actually wrote that monkeybike off into the side of a jeep at 55mph and was totally gutted , I bought 2 groms 5 speed , 1 monkeybike 5 speed , 4 benelli tnts , now you see what’s happened , groms are the best road bikes , just , monkey is a riot , benellis are impressive too ,you’ll never laugh as much and have so much fun , I’ve got lawnmowers that use more fuel , no doubt you ktm is epic , but their something satisfying about squeezing every ounce of power and speed out of mini bikes and using next to nothing in fuel , I’ve done 20,000 mile in total on my mini bikes in total in 2 years , that says it all , anyone thinking of going small , do it their a riot , you won’t regret it 🏍🏍👍👍
@SamVBikes 11 ай бұрын
Haha! Love that! In the first month or two, it started getting a little boring because I was using it on the wrong roads. I've done a few little mods and it now feels like my bike If that makes sense! I contemplated getting rid of it after a year or so but it's brilliant. Even just a quick trip to the shops is so easy. Park it anywhere and it draws attention! Don't think I'll sell it!
@jimhedley7459 11 ай бұрын
@@SamVBikes yeah that how it starts , go on smaller roads , I’ve actually done 300 miles in a day , Yoshimura RS 3 exhaust is epic , a lot of money but we’ll worth it , I’m a bike addict and a 60 year old teenager and proud of it , your dead right , just hop on and ride , so easy and alway a riot of fun ,🏍🏍👍👍
