Riding a Brand New Monkey Bike 200 Miles Home Through the Peak District Ep 1

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

Evey single monkey bike video I have watched so far (& that's a lot) has the rider laughing his/her head off. Sold.

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂 yeah it's just ridiculously funny for no real reason. Tiny bike, no power, but it's just hilarious

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

@SamVBikes I had a highly modified c90 with a bucket seat, no lights, no indicators, no suspension. It was great but I had part ways with it. A monkey is the future

[@mechanicalhobbies8258]

That monkey bikes has really a lot of magic , that's making the rider smile and laughing all the way 😂

[@SamVBikes]

It definitely does!!

[@ArthursMam]

I'm planning on treating myself to one next year for my 50th. Can't wait

[@SamVBikes]

Its fantastic! So nippy and a laugh

[@markyy3590]

I got mine for my 50th!

[@Olibert33]

Have you bought one ?

[@matthewday9898]

Great video Sam ! Something different to watch in the bike space love it

[@SamVBikes]

Thank you bud! Definitely a different thing to the KTM too 😂

[@michaelmclarney1994]

Brilliant Sam, I was laughing along with you. What a brilliant idea to give another dimension to your channel, you deserve every success going forward mate 👍

[@SamVBikes]

Thank you mate, that means a lot! Hopefully it will give people something different to watch. Won't be for everyone but hopefully will get a good laugh out of it!

[@michaelmclarney1994]

@@SamVBikes exactly! I must get a go on one. A funny thing though is that our techs were recently analyzing and mixing paint for an original monkey and he didn't like it being called that and insisted it was referred to it's technical name. I'm tempted to say he went ape! Oh, I just did 😂😂

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂😂 I laughed way more than I should have at that! It's such a laugh riding one!

[@michaelmclarney1994]

@@SamVBikes perhaps you will discover if it's a thing with original monkey owners, or not. I look forward to future uploads mate 👍

[@Amory98]

His laugh, that's the monkey magic ❤

[@tomalburt]

Looks fun! Nice to know I'm not the only one enjoying that part of the Peak District on a 125.

[@SamVBikes]

I genuinely thought I'd be bored when used to the KTM, but it was fantastic fun

[@derbyshireruralrider9398]

Not heard La Cucaracha airhorn since I had it on my Mk2 Cortina in 1976

[@SamVBikes]

Haha Yes I thought they had died out!

[@derbyshireruralrider9398]

@@SamVBikes even in the 70s they were illegal in cars made after a certain date, think there was issue of 2 tone ones sounding like emergency services

[@Jules750..]

So entertaining sam😂😂

[@14biscuits]

First port of call shout out! Toot toot! 😂😂 The bike is a belter Sam, and hope you enjoyed your trip through my homeland. Glad Penistone did you proud, it seems a lot smaller in the cold. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂 thought you'd be proud! It's great mate, I'm so happy I bought it. Such a laugh of a thing to ride!

[@rufus576]

Such a cheeky non offensive bike even the pheasant a was like “I reckon I could take that”. 😂

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂 made me laugh that the pheasant wasn't injured in the slightest! Lack of power is safety apparently

[@markyy3590]

Monkey bikes rule. So much more fun than any other bike (except on motorways!)

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂 yeah motorways can get pretty dull besides people driving past pointing and laughing!

[@paulgarritty8978]

One word…. Mint 👍

[@SamVBikes]

Thank you!

[@markfromleeds]

spot on vid, im sooo looking forward to what is to come on the monkey.

[@SamVBikes]

Thank you pal! Should be a good laugh! See if I can beat you around ABR on the GSA haha

[@davidgrenville1582]

Legend 🎉

[@MrBecksy2]

Sam, very entertaining video. Great idea to buy and do more vids about it, I will be watching for sure. Look forward to seeing it parked next to the KTM. 🤣

[@SamVBikes]

Thank you! Yeah thought it would be a better use of the money than paying for more whiskey on the shelf haha! If the KTM is parked in-front of it, you cant see it behind haha

[@tomaszpakua2457]

😁😁 Fun bike ! Ill get one soon as well. London commuting, and weekend over to Southend on Sea. Maybe St Ives ? Will see 😁

[@SamVBikes]

Sounds amazing!

[@InoFughaul]

Lol... Giggling like a school girl. Exactly what that bike is suppose to do! Good luck, enjoy!

[@SamVBikes]

Haha thank you!

[@InoFughaul]

@@SamVBikes I am about to buy two of them, one for me and one for the missus. We want something small to take traveling with us. Gonna be a bit different to the Triumph Thunderbird I'm currently on. I'm gonna feel like I'm squashing the little fella. 🤣

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂 they are ideal for that! I love just taking it to the shop. Park it anywhere you like because people just don't care as its tiny! Brilliant things

[@t_rex8767]

hoping to get a 125cc-license and monkey next spring, this looks awesome even though 50cc scooter has served me well so far :P...my memory is shite but might have commented this on one of your videos already

[@SamVBikes]

Haha! You can comment as much as you like! Helps the algorithm 😂 I'm having so much fun on the monkey. Thought it would get boring quickly but it's been fantastic

[@t_rex8767]

@@SamVBikes awesome 👍

[@alangazeley5497]

Hi Sam, I'm also in Herts ! What made you go all the way to Leeds to buy ? I'm intrigued ! I'm also after a new "Monkey" ! Kind regards, Alan

[@SamVBikes]

I ordered one from the dealer in Letchworth and 3 months later they still could tell me what colour I was getting. I had resorted to "I'll take any". Found this one in stock up in Padgetts in Leeds. Unregistered. So thought it would be funny to go get it and ride it back ha!

[@heritagehillsecurity8778]

That looked like a lot of fun. Good times.

[@SamVBikes]

Definitely was!!

[@taz473]

Love to go touring on a monkey bike,you could call the series 'monkey nuts

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂

[@taz473]

If you want a laugh,check out series 1 or 2 of the hairy bikers,when they came and toured the Isle of man on monkey bikes,so funny,they were a class act.

[@SamVBikes]

Haha I remember seeing that! It's hilarious 😂

[@alangazeley5497]

Sam, I've had x2 ! You'll love it !

[@SamVBikes]

It's awesome!

[@jaystarmini]

Whats the little socket set your using there looks good to tuck away in a bike😊

[@SamVBikes]

They are both Wera! Ones a socket set and the Allen keys are Wera too. Expensive but I love them! Way cheaper if you get family to buy them for you at Christmas 😂

[@jaystarmini]

@SamVBikes thanks definitely keep that on mind. Used your link there and order my 1st set of roadskin jeans. 😊👌

[@SamVBikes]

Love it! Hope you like them as much as I do!

[@tonyrobinson362]

Im thinking you need some serious orange dayglow! To stand out at juncs.

[@justinmatthews8575]

Love the giggling haha, im always laughing when i ride my grom around, their so fun 125s

[@SamVBikes]

Haha yeah it's brilliant isn't it!

[@sisson972]

What mic do you use for recording while riding?

[@SamVBikes]

Purple Panda mic into a Zoom F2 Bluetooth!

[@sisson972]

@@SamVBikes Nice, it sounds great

[@williamlorimer060867]

Looking to buy one as a wee friend for my Fireblade 😊

[@SamVBikes]

Haha do it! Swapping between 170bhp and 9bhp is hilarious in both directions 😂

[@DavZZee]

What phone mount do you use on your Monkey?

[@SamVBikes]

It's a Mous one. I have the full motorcycle mount with dampener on my Super Adventurw and then this is a velcro quick strap mount on this. Works really well

[@Jones-xx2gc]

Wish one of these would fit in my motorhome, to big. Making do with a Skyteam Gorilla until it breaks. Great video but I would have it delivered.

[@SamVBikes]

Ahh thats a shame! I love it! Thinking about it... delivery for £99 would have made for an easier life but always fun!

[@tomaszpakua2457]

What camera tou have ? EDIT. Found ! Thanks 😁

[@SamVBikes]

Haha yes! GoPro Hero 9 and Hero 11!

Pheasant vs Monkey .... thankfully the Monkey won 👏

😂😂

[@martinnewman1967]

Absolutely Hilarious,,, I am worried though you took a bang on the head when you tip'd off the KTM 😂😂😂 Well done for breaking the speed limit with 9bhp, Brill 😊 Will look forward to images of a jumpin Monkey at ABR 😊

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂 luckily I had bought it before I came off the KTM haha!

[@jimhedley7459]

Hi Sam , be warned your heading into a dangerous world , your laughing now , this will change into love , I started with a 2019 monkeybike which I bough new and I never even seen one ,at the time I had a ninja H2 , Ducati diavel , triumph rocket 3 , get the picture I like bikes and power !! I actually wrote that monkeybike off into the side of a jeep at 55mph and was totally gutted , I bought 2 groms 5 speed , 1 monkeybike 5 speed , 4 benelli tnts , now you see what’s happened , groms are the best road bikes , just , monkey is a riot , benellis are impressive too ,you’ll never laugh as much and have so much fun , I’ve got lawnmowers that use more fuel , no doubt you ktm is epic , but their something satisfying about squeezing every ounce of power and speed out of mini bikes and using next to nothing in fuel , I’ve done 20,000 mile in total on my mini bikes in total in 2 years , that says it all , anyone thinking of going small , do it their a riot , you won’t regret it 🏍🏍👍👍

[@SamVBikes]

Haha! Love that! In the first month or two, it started getting a little boring because I was using it on the wrong roads. I've done a few little mods and it now feels like my bike If that makes sense! I contemplated getting rid of it after a year or so but it's brilliant. Even just a quick trip to the shops is so easy. Park it anywhere and it draws attention! Don't think I'll sell it!

[@jimhedley7459]

@@SamVBikes yeah that how it starts , go on smaller roads , I’ve actually done 300 miles in a day , Yoshimura RS 3 exhaust is epic , a lot of money but we’ll worth it , I’m a bike addict and a 60 year old teenager and proud of it , your dead right , just hop on and ride , so easy and alway a riot of fun ,🏍🏍👍👍

[@SamVBikes]

I did wonder if the Yoshi RS 3 was worth it. Everyone says they are great but I didn't want the bike to be too loud! I guess thats my next purchase for it haha!
