As I am finally close to finishing my Triumph T140 'custom' project, my eye is drawn from the sublime to the ridiculous, and I find myself looking at 125 Monkey bikes.
Does anyone here have one?
I have a couple of mates elsewhere in the UK who do (they also have proper bikes) and they rave about them.
I have joined a couple of FB groups... but they are typical FB groups, so more or less useless.
What I know so far is that older ones (pre 2022?) have a four speed box, they are often modified. Newer / current models have a five speed box with other differences to the engine (longer stroke, different oiling system).
I also gather that all can be had with almost no mileage (commuting didn't work out then) and that 5k miles is considered high mileage... but not by Honda.
From a buyers perspective, they are scattered all over the UK, which make locating and buying a bit of a PIA. Either that or it is just a matter of buying the one that's closest.
