HOW FAST is the new HONDA MONKEY? [RAW Onboard]

[@officebear4637]

Ahahah imagine just driving and seeing a huge dude on a miniature bike almost dragging knee in the twisties ahahahah

[@Schaaf]

:D

[@simonegiannini2421]

On my way to work I often meet a BIG guy riding a Honda Grom...the way he looks is priceless

You... Why.... Arghhh... Now I can't unimagine Schaaf on the poor thing.. Eywww :)

[@RestlesSo0]

@Alfred Binet ahahahaha

[@Schaaf]

*my top speed was 105 kph* #MONKEYBUSINESS - Hope you enjoy this RAW shorty! Usually I wouldn't upload those but since I'll be away from home a lot during the upcoming weeks I decided to go for it. I wanted to give you a quick lifesign basically ;) Plus it'll be interesting to see if a shorter RAW performs better than my usual ones. For many months now my videos perform exceptionally bad unfortunately. Whatever. I won't stop. BTW: If you're a CB500 fan like me you can get the coolest T-shirt in the world for ONE MORE DAY here: www.seedshirt.de/little-500

[@Hinjima92]

I had the original Honda MSX, and I had the most fun on it that I have ever had in my entire life! I slapped on some grippy Micheline tires and mini-chaaf'd it around wherever I could. here is a very short video with proof, hope you are proud of me kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHbPdJ-dlr15nNk

[@ChrisAkAxTr3Me]

Please keep going, especially with videos like you showed us from the Toro adventure tours. I know in comparison to the amount of viewers the loads of work are maybe not worth it... but maybe it is because the most people subscribed to your channel for the RAW videos and the right people are just missing. I also follow another youtube channel (Ausfahrt.tv) that does car reviews and once they also showed several videos of a trip that lasted some weeks and they nearly got no views, even though they showed some really good content.

[@erosqing]

Just one single question. I think that the original MSX it's great and I don't understand this marketing movement with the monkey in europe. I have a cb500f from 2016 and my bike hasn't got and inverted fork or a gear indicator for example... more than 4000€ for a 125cc bike sounds crazy to me... the price of this toy bike really worth it?¿? Thanks and I hope your RAWs rise up again!!! Uves from Spain

[@AndreasBOlesen]

I like your long videos a lot! A bike I would really enjoy watching you make a RAW with, is the Street Triple RS. I know you have some experience with it, I wouldn't mind you sharing it. 😄 Thank you for your services Schaaf

[@johnsaunders3709]

Next time you should do a honda grom how fast.

[@whachucallme1]

Just found you channel this is dope. By far the best camera footage and audio ive seen on youtube.👍

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot and welcome to the club!

[@xtom_99]

I recommend the triumph daytona video of him. Probably my favorite one

[@loy12mc]

Well, that looked REALLY fast 😂 I hope you enjoy doing these clips as much as I love watching them

[@Schaaf]

sure ;)

[@fredthebarber]

These bikes look like so much silly fun! Good one, Schaaf! I love your short or long videos. I really enjoyed the Toro adventure videos too

[@Schaaf]

thanks man

[@KevinNL212]

This is absolutely fantastic, now I want one

[@Schaaf]

:D

[@BassOutcast]

Them: "You need a liter bike to scrape pegs" Schaaf: "Hold my beer"

[@eliasdidit]

I scraped my pegs on a Duke 125 doing my License :D

[@Life_Is_Adventuree]

it looks quite fast for a 125cc engine..

[@seppo-1782]

Well its a lightweight Motorcucle

[@missio22]

[Xdd] KahviP but it has a horizontal motor

[@Zuuppa]

TorQue WreNcH You know 125cc full size bike can go up to 200km/h right

[@Life_Is_Adventuree]

Yeah,you all true folks..its lighweight,small,good engine with a good rider,thats why it fast

[@jidekakskaks]

[@vintagetintrader1062]

One of the first motorbike riding videos I felt like I was riding it, good job with everything.

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@dbx1233]

So I just watched your Vienna video and now this video and its nice to see you have fun making these videos. 2 days ago I put down my deposit at my local Honda dealership and ordered a red Honda Monkey with abs brakes but it won't be in until January so I'll continue watching videos. Thanks for making them.

[@Schaaf]

awesome!! Congrats!!

[@lavapix]

No talking....That was great. Looks so fun and sounds great too. I didn't even notice a rattling sound.

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

Why do I want this bike so much? I've had a VFR800, ST1300, Vmax 1200, now a 2020 SV650. But this Monkey just seems so much fun 😊

[@Schaaf]

It doesn't just seem fun ;)

Yes, I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE the video of riding uphill... And perhaps so one can compare it with Duke 125.. It was the same road, I reckon?

[@Schaaf]

it was indeed! Although I think comparison to the "big" 125cc bikes don't make much sense :)

[@Surpriseify]

This is... confusingly glorious

[@Schaaf]

ahahaha

[@spicyalien4089]

The quality of this video is unseen.

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@ripmax333]

The mighty Schaaf on a Honda Monkey 125...now i'm impressed. i was even more impressed when he gave not One But TWO Thumbs up. I bet that for that tiny bike is like winning the Oscars.

coming soon-ish!

[@AnotherMotorist]

I use to watch your videos a lot to hype myself up for a touge / mountain pass run. 2 years since my motorcycle accident (other guy cut apex and ran into me) I find myself on a monkey hoping it'll keep me out of trouble and just cruise on 2 wheels again. Excellent handling of that ape Schaaf, I'm tempted to go back to that spirited riding but we'll see...

[@Schaaf]

Go back and see what it feels like :)

[@TheVestibulian]

now THIS is the content youtube needs

[@Schaaf]

thanks ;)

they are

I'm guessing this wasn't done on the stock tires? They're pretty much more plastic than rubber ahah.

[@Schaaf]

it was. I wasn't riding big lean angles actually

[@officebear4637]

Schaaf but you scraped the pegs though

[@officebear4637]

Schaaf that's crazy that you didn't slip out with that peg scrape with stock tires

its not about the bike, its about the rider!

You should fit some sticky tires (Bridgestone BT601SS) some front springs and basic line rear shocks, and some light engine prep, like racing exhaust, air intake, ECU, camshaft, etc... and you will have the time of your life. Minimoto 4 life.

Did I hear the kick stand scraping on a few of the turns? mostly left turns?... looks fun to ride, they're hitting the states this month, I got a deposit on a Super cub, it's an auto clutch but hope as much fun to ride... not sure why they went with the auto clutch on the cub???

[@Schaaf]

footpegs were scraping! Because as far as I know the Cub's been using an auto clutch for a very long time. Glad they'll install one!

[@joebug55]

@@Schaaf I don't think the Super Cub is going to be as much fun as this one though, the way I'm watching you ride it and throwing it around...it looks like it can out maneuver the Cub any day! also, I think the monkey will probably have alot more after market mods too..I'm having second thoughts...

Guessing you won't be able to fulfill this request anytime soon as you're quite busy, but if you get the time could you please do a video on the cb1000r (the new one)? I know it's not that enticing since you did one on the old model not too long ago. But if you could, that would be awesome!

no chance, sorry

tires were stock

[@kevinlopes137]

Still faster than some guys riding panigales over there...

[@Schaaf]

it is not difficult to be faster than THOSE guys though ;)

[@trinidadjamieson236]

[@TouchofDepth]

What's up with the rattle sound? My monkey just started making that sound 2000 miles in

[@Schaaf]

No idea

[@michaeljkasnter]

Try the Yoshimura RS3 Exhaust, its sounds incredible!!

[@2mnyshp]

Unfortunately driving without a cat and an approved exhaust system can lead to a lot of trouble in most of the European countries. And cops are not dumb. It's not worth the risk of hefty fines.

yes

alright,i live on a highway very similar to this one,bikes come from miles to ride it,today i was outside and i heard something,it sounded like a low flying small plane with a wooden prop,then it got closer,and i thought what is that? a truck went by which was apparently slowing down 3 dudes on these things.i was like WTF was that ? they were getting it.if the truck wasn't in their way I'm sure they would have been going faster then they already were.very interesting to see what all aftermarket parts will be available for these little guys.and oh yea,i will get to hear it every weekend,they came by this evening on a thursday,3 red ones.haha never said how fast they do,now i gotta research dude.

At :39 get in your own lane D*ck. That was absolutely bananas (See what i did there) on how you rode that. Like the KTM 125 the slower bikes are wicked fun to watch. Bet you had a decent grin after that ride. Little thing gets up and goes and does surprisingly well. Too bad they are so expensive. Uphill video for me please and a swingarm camera angle like the Duke.

I was grinning until I went to bed that night actually ;)

[@expertfireemsproductions.1218]

sounds good, but whats with the "burning rubber" on turns?

Explained it in the video. I was just using the rear brake for fun
