Looks great with the blue wheels!

 

Have been looking for a Honda monkey for a while now. Found a 2023 at a local dealership. When I’m for a quote OTD. MSRP was $4299
After dealer mark up, freight ,set up , tax title license the quote was $6199. I laughed to myself and said I would think about it. There was a 2019 red monkey on CL but was 80 miles south. Yes the new ones have an upgraded engine and a 5 speed but he was asking $3950 with 1200 miles, 1 tooth down front sprocket, rear rack and windscreen. I drove down to check it out and picked it up for $3700 . So now I can have a budget of $2300 to mod it up AND still be less than a new stock monkey. Very happy. Runs great and is super fun.

Welcome to the mini bike club

 

Nice find! Those monkeys look like they would be a hoot to ride.

 

I’m surprised you don’t have a monkey or Grom in your lineup of bikes yet.

 

This is increasing my itch for a yellow 5 speed Monkey. Awesome find!

 

Brembo levers?

 

I didn't realize the lever pics came out so out of focus. The levers are not from Brembo, they are TWM. All the other factory brake components are Brembo though.

 

I wasn't aware Tacoma World: Motorcycles made levers!

 

I see. Looks very similar to the Brembo RCS Corsa Corta setup with the way the adjuster is positioned.

 

I'm out of room. Gotta find a way to convince the wife to park her car outside so I can start to fill up the other side of my garage with more bikes!

 

Might be easier to just build a bigger garage

 

My daughter recommended the same, haha. I like the way ya'll think.

 

Buy a container like I did and line um up! I gotta find the pic I had of it loaded with the KTM fleet at its strongest point.

it was a sight to see! The whole side of the container opens up.

 

I am still kicking myself for selling the ‘15 350xcfw. That mutha was built and bad to the bone.
Many ask me of how it compared to the 500. I will say that I think it was a more balanced bike, where you could use a larger gear range. Moreover, you felt like you would hit the sweet spot in the motor more often.

Damn it to hell! Learn from others and don’t sell your bikes..sell everything else first. Lol

 

Finally bought one. Lol

 

Compound in the forest with a fleet of bikes - you're living the dream!

 

Brappppp

 

Today my daughter found out the motorcycle tank is indeed metal. When I had my back turned for 2 seconds she was using the nail picker upper on the motorcycle.
