Durability

• 12-INCH WHEELS: Tough and strong, these cast wheels and wide tires are just what the urban rider needs.

Handling

• INVERTED FORK SUSPENSION: Here’s a huge improvement over the original Monkey bike: Like a top-of-the-line sportbike, the 2023 Monkey features an inverted hydraulic fork front suspension for control and road feel.
• TWIN REAR SHOCKS: The Monkey has twin rear shocks. Combined with the chunky tires and cushy seat, they smooth out the roughest pavement in the urban jungle.

Performance

• 124CC FUEL-INJECTED ENGINE: The Monkey ABS uses the same engine as our 2023 Grom. Nobody can match Honda’s reputation for engines, and even though the Monkey may be compact, it’s a giant in terms of performance and reliability.
• FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION: Sure, the Monkey is cute, but its five-speed transmission gives you all the durability, control and efficiency of a conventional motorcycle. Plus, the extra gear increases top speed too.
• EASY TO PARK: Because of the Monkey’s miniature stature, it’s easy to park in the city, and to store when you’re not riding. There’s always room for a Monkey!
• FUEL CAPACITY: Got a small fuel budget? The Monkey will make it look gigantic. With a 1.5-gallon tank and incredible fuel efficiency, every fill-up will take you farther than you ever thought possible.
• HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES: The Monkey features 220 mm front and 190mm rear single disc brakes for excellent stopping power.

Style

• LOW SEAT HEIGHT: Whether you’re flat-footing it into a parking space or just stopped for a long light, the Monkey’s super-low 30.5-inch seat makes it easy to maneuver and ride. Plus the seat’s thick padding, generous size and eye-catching cover make it perfect for all kinds of monkeying around.
• CHUNKY TIRES: The Monkey’s high-aspect-ratio tires do more than just look cool. They’re extraordinarily practical too, giving you tons of grip and absorbing bumps or rough road surfaces.
• HIGH-RISE HANDLEBAR: Sure, the Monkey may be small, but we sized it to fit adult riders. Case in point—check out the high-rise handlebar, so you can sit up and check out the world as you ride.
• MULTI-FUNCTION DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS: Retro meets modern in the Monkey’s instrument cluster. The round housing is totally 1960s, while the display features speedometer, odometer, A&B trip meters, fuel gauge, and indicator for low/high beam. It even greets you when you first start the bike!
• ROUND CHROMED LED HEADLIGHT: The Monkey’s round headlight looks retro, but its performance is totally up to date and provides excellent illumination and visibility

Technology

• STANDARD ABS: The Monkey ABS gives you an Anti-Lock-Braking System designed to help with controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions. Whether it’s on wet pavement that’s slipperier than a banana peel, or compromised road surfaces, the Monkey ABS helps you ride with confidence.
• LED TAILLIGHT: Forget about big, bulky taillights—the Monkey’s LED lamp is bright and clear.
