Monkey Bike Adventure 1300km across Romania

Can 50cc Monkey Bikes get 1350km across Romania?
Please enable subtitles to assist the audio.
50cc Monkey Bike ride 1350km / 835 miles across Romania in July 2018!
Trying to keep off main roads as much as possible on fairly rubbish 50cc (Skyteam) Monkey Bikes, we make a journey to test ourselves and these bikes to their limits.
We set off from Sighetu Marmației, North Romania on the boarder of Ukraine, over the Carpathians, down and across to the South Eastern boarder in Vama Veche.
Most days were 12 hours waking at 5AM and going by 6AM, finishing when it got dark at about 6/PM.

These little machines are great fun, I have several variants with different engines, love them.

[@Papuseta]

Nice. Here in my country these bikes are super popular amongst youth since here you can drive these 50cc bikes at the age of 15

[@ciudat105]

Sighisoara one of THE most beautiful cities in the world and you bypassed it...

[@fredbutlerfb]

Blame it on Fin

[@RodrigoKaspary]

Man, this is by far a better adventure than those bigtrails protune mode suspensions blablabla motorbikes! I'm laughing every single minute of video!

[@fredbutlerfb]

Thanks Rodrigo, I agree

[@KlingonCaptain]

This video convinced me that Monkey Bikes can make the Trans-American Trail. I always see videos where people use expensive dual sport or adventure bikes, but there is no reason to spend that much money. It wouldn't be too hard for my cousins and I to acquire some 2019 Honda Monkey bikes.

[@fredbutlerfb]

Sounds like a great idea!

[@jolenethellama]

They are going to be hella more fun as well! Did you start your journey yet?

[@t16205]

Go for a 125cc if you do ;)

[@brianmccann666]

Yeah get the 125cc not the 50cc

[@youthinasia9523]

Yamaha TW200's would be good

[@addadd13]

this is my kind of motorcycle adventure

[@sengsational]

You guys did a Proper Adventure. Congratulations. The route selection, lovely. The patience to do all that shooting, and in foul weather, no less. My căciulă is off to the videography team. If there is a "making of" film that describes the number and types of cameras, and how you kept mud out of everything, that would be another one not to miss. -- Carpe Brewski --

[@fredbutlerfb]

Thanks buddy! We all did on those underpowered adventure machines! :) My setup just consisted of my phone (oneplus 6), gopro (hero 3+) everyone elses phones and gopros (session) + the drone (mavic pro). I was going to take a 2 axis gimbal too but i think i would have falled off the bike trying to work that and ride straight. Hope youve got some footage too ? Looking forward to seeing everyone elses.

[@Make0Man]

Nice👍👌

[@matthewgunn1103]

Quality good video

[@fredbutlerfb]

Cheers Matt

[@aledge6317]

Nice. 👍

[@spectrospirit]

I think my 125 cc monkey bike would do just as good, it tops out at over 100 km/h and it isn't one bit as scary as it sounds like. A little bit of resto now, and mine will be good as new ^_^

[@fredbutlerfb]

Christ on a bike 100km! Mind you i did manage to get the 50cc to about 75kmh on a really big hill, no thanks to the engine

[@LucasJMoore]

@@fredbutlerfb sounds exhilarating and yet oh so terrifying!

[@Mr.Engineer.]

You should ride Norway from the south up to Europe most northern point along the coast and up the mountains. It ain't that expensive on a moped or motorcycle and I would defiantly join you on my 114cc Skyteam DAX and show you some of the hidden gems :D

[@CrisURace]

awesome!

[@MK-sk2mi]

Always trust a mechanic with a cig

[@qualifierone8899]

How did you find that safari? These are rentals correct?

[@MattBaer]

Looks like fun. Me and some friends are thinking about doing this. Looking at the website. The last day has The finish, prize-giving and party. What are the prizes?

[@fredbutlerfb]

I got a bottle of very strong fortified wine made by bikers from the start line who saw us off at the launch. Other prizes include (but not limited to) a round of applause! a Romanian flag! a plastic trophy! a beer! .... Definitely sign up!

[@sylvainb4049]

Watch kiwigrom channel. Tjry do the TAT on their GROMS. Pretty cool adventure! 😎🤙🏼 Love them old school Monkey bikes! ✌👌🤘

[@michaelindublin7070]

cool video man, can't wait to this is in July this year. any special advice :)?

[@fredbutlerfb]

You're in for a hell of an adventure! Keep off the main red roads, blue or green roads are great, even better are tracks that don't even show as roads on satellite images and look half washed away. Oh, and take tyreweld!

[@michaelindublin7070]

@@fredbutlerfb thank you!

[@mrbarbarossa8203]

i'm jealous :)

[@jeanchanut9278]

Juste hiver us more (quetly)

[@adrianfbird]

Top ride lads looks fun but those fucking dogs did my head in when I cycled over there

[@fredbutlerfb]

They are really feral

[@JanuszBiedronka]

Did you get to keep the bikes after? What happened to them?

[@north_cult948]

That really is something to do once in your lifetime... next, I'd like to see a group of girlfriends (as it seems they are equal to guys these days) go on top of those underpowered bikes, really ride them through all that mud and sheep and scenery...

[@karlalouie9852]

What month did you guys do this?!

[@fredbutlerfb]

T'was the month of July

[@namphanthanh2404]

@4:33 did he ever come to Vietnam?

[@lukem9707]

Did you buy these bikes? rented? brought your own?

[@fredbutlerfb]

Rented from "The Adventurists" along with other people and a party at the start and end

[@lamotomaspequena3519]

:)

[@yasirkhan-pu3ur]

should try honda CG 125 cheapest bike and reliability just wo wo wo

[@fredbutlerfb]

Indeed that is a very good bike!

[@mowler8042]

Next time you get a bite like that take antihistamine....the swelling will go down.

[@fredbutlerfb]

Thanks

[@sitinurhajarabdulsalim5181]

What is its highest km/h?

[@fredbutlerfb]

About 65kmh but that was going down a massive hill with the clutch pulled in

[@AddyAdderson]

I don't think I've ever seen any machine of any description as ass-kicked as these little motorcycles. The horror. The horror.

[@syahreen75]

Malaysia flag👋....someone be there or have been here...malaya land
