Honda Grom vs. Honda Monkey?!

[@richardbesseljr9597]

The Grom has foot pegs for a passenger and can hold more weight and has a larger seat so you can ride two up if ever needed. Important fact.

[@turkishpartyboy]

Very true!

[@chevyracing16]

The styling of the monkey is reminiscent of the old z50's, which is perhaps the most durable motorcycle ever created.

[@turkishpartyboy]

Those z50s still sell for a good amount of money and they move for a 50

[@chevyracing16]

@@turkishpartyboy they certainly are value. As far as moving, not so much...

[@naptime43x]

@@chevyracing16 lol no, they are not known for their speed but they will get you there eventually. i have a 72 in candy gold that i havent started in 20 years but it wouldnt take much to get it going again

[@markyy3590]

Monkey all the way. I got my new Blue model a week ago and I absolutely love it.

[@turkishpartyboy]

It’s time for me to switch over

[@fonsi24acg]

Hi, how much did you paid for the Honda Monkey? I'm planning to get one my self too. Thanks

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

The monkey looks RETRO CLASSIC…….COOL !

[@turkishpartyboy]

I love that

[@jimstenlund6017]

More comfortable because it has dual shocks?? Thicker seat probably helps more. Quality of the single, or dual, shocks is way more important.

[@michaeledgley4656]

Glad you mentioned the torque, I wheelied my monkey by accident on the first day of getting it as was just not expecting that much go😂

[@turkishpartyboy]

Aha the monkey torque is no joke

[@ohwell2790]

Yeah a whole 8 ft lbs of torque. BS

[@jonnysteel3595]

Best review of the 2 bikes that I have seen comparing the differences I am a Monkey man myself Og Yellow,only one in Bulgaria.

[@turkishpartyboy]

Thank you!

[@Joeak74]

can't find either of these at a dealer.

[@turkishpartyboy]

Believe me I know it’s getting harder and harder to find

[@williamtaylor874]

monkey for me thumbs up good review !

[@turkishpartyboy]

Honestly my next one will prob be a money gotta change it up aha and thank you!

[@naptime43x]

nice comparison video, didnt make it any easier to decide which to get but its appreciated

[@sprc3352]

Nice vid and comparison . Although I haven't ridden a Grom ( or Monkey for that matter ) , I did ride the Kawasaki Z125 , and don't care for it , my eyes are on the Monkey !!! Wish I could take one for a test ride !!!

[@turkishpartyboy]

I rode the z as well but was not a fan of the sitting position felt uncomfortable. If you are looking for comfort the monkey is the #1 choice

[@sprc3352]

@@turkishpartyboy Thank you !! Subbed !!! Now with the new 2022 , 5spd , oil filter , rear springs,etc I think I would want to find a 2022 , or if it were a great deal on a 2020/2021 . Have you had the chance to ride the 21 down and compare to the 20022 's ???

[@turkishpartyboy]

Thank you!! The groms I have rode all generations however this is the first monkey I ride but besides the transmission they should all ride the same

[@davidcorona7164]

Cool video man, thanks for the comparison

[@turkishpartyboy]

Thank you

[@BlackdogADV]

Which one is a better base for a scramble/adventure bike?

[@turkishpartyboy]

Personally I would go with the grom

[@siradan1478]

love the signature sticker on the grom brother :)

[@turkishpartyboy]

Thank you thank you

[@ohwell2790]

I got the Honda Monkey and the money des not include shipping, dealer set up, tax .license, shipping. No one is getting a Honda Monkey for 4K. I payed $6,700 USD out the door for a Monkey in 2023. And was glad to get it. 2023 6/13/2023

[@turkishpartyboy]

Yea everythings price has gone through the roof honestly

[@RiptideSwift]

Is it possible to exchange the engines aswell? Are the mounts same even that the frame is quite different on the OG Grom to the new Grom?

[@turkishpartyboy]

In my opinion I would believe that you should be able to swap all engines no problem a slight modification might be necessary but if a grom can fit a 300 or 250cc engine I don’t see why you can’t use any other grom or monkey engine without much effort

[@RiptideSwift]

@@turkishpartyboy its possible with 250/300 because they’re making convertion brackets for them. Don’t see that on the original engines. But yeah, only wiring loom’s different…so if you buy a complete NG Grom u should be OK then

[@romanslejska766]

I thought between Monkey and Grom for about 15 minutes. Monkey won, definitely. Monkey is a standard and original, everything else is just better or worse imitations.

[@turkishpartyboy]

Very trueee

[@jameshuntley428]

If they were priced the same, would you prefer a Honda 300f over the grom or does the size of the grom make it more fun?

[@turkishpartyboy]

I would still go with the grom it’s honestly the size that does it for me! If you want the power you could always swap the 300 engine into the grom they sell complete kits

[@jameshuntley428]

@@turkishpartyboy thanks! I have a Yamaha fz-07 and I’ve been thinking of getting either a Vespa, grom or monkey. They all seem like a lot of fun.

[@ChibiKeruchan]

size of compartment? I don't see compartments on the monkey.. does it even have? or is it on the seat?

[@turkishpartyboy]

That’s the one part I don’t think I included and honestly I’m not sure either

[@manosmanos4663]

The seat of the monkey is something else.

[@turkishpartyboy]

It really is. I wish it would fit on the grom

[@manosmanos4663]

@Turkishpartyboy my friend I am between grom , dax and monkey.( I have supercub , rebel 500 and forza 750 dct ). I can't decide which mini moto .all of them have special character.

[@turkishpartyboy]

@@manosmanos4663 honestly I would go grom because the it sounds like you already have cruiser bikes

[@mertylmaz9549]

Videonun sonunda imzayı fark ettim. Bu johny neden atamın imzasini kullanmiş diye düşünurken kanalın ismini okumayı akıl ederek sorularima cevap buldum :) its amazing review boi. Well detailed. Keep going on that way

[@turkishpartyboy]

Ahah sagol kardesim biz amerikada olsakda turkuz

[@anthonyschutz4302]

The older monkeys are not all ABS, my 2021 blue one does not. (just to clarify)

[@turkishpartyboy]

The more ya know! Appreciate it

[@davewortman4754]

I bought them both.😂

[@turkishpartyboy]

That’s the dream aha

[@ratscoot]

2021 Grom and 2022 on Monkey have a new long stroke 5 speed engine. It also has higher compression and an oil filter. Not much parts interchangeable, the head studs are much closer to the piston on the new model so only 145cc big bore kits are possible.

[@turkishpartyboy]

I did not know that

[@jimhedley7459]

Hi , anyone who is interested , ive a Honda monkeybike and 2 groms , all 5speed models , groms are the best road bike ,but only just , the monkey is awesome and the seat is a winner , and it gets attention everywhere you go , also I’ve a few benelli tnt and their great too , anyone thinking of going for a mini bike ,go for it you’ll have a riot , their a total blast ,you won’t regret it 🏍🏍👍👍

[@NjoyMoney]

The reason you think the gearing is different is because of tire size, those monkey tires are substantially bigger and tires are part of the gearing

[@brucemontgomery6853]

Ty

The monkey 🐒 hands down looks better. But I like the grom alot

1000% agree

You can get the monkey in a non-abs

[@turkishpartyboy]

Since when?? Lol

[@heep34987yt]

All the 2022 monkeys are ABS only. 2019 to 2021 it was an option. I have a 2019 non ABS.

[@williamheinsinger7390]

Monkey > Grom

[@turkishpartyboy]

Honestly same

[@gianlucabassi8853]

Monkey Is the winner but the tank capacity Is ridiculous...the saddle end High and the tank design could be different hosting more fuel. Just One person means, in Italy, plus 70% insurance fee..in 10 years it's half The price of the Grom.

[@turkishpartyboy]

I hope so lol I love the monkey!

[@sosukeaizen7562]

I would buy the two of them. They are both beautiful and reliable. I would be happy if Honda brings at least one them to Chile.

[@turkishpartyboy]

There is none in Chile??

[@sosukeaizen7562]

@@turkishpartyboy nope man. The only mini moto you can find here is the Navi, which is not bad, but the Grom, Monkey or Dax are quite better.
