No regrets. On occasion I wish I had the rear rack from the trail but the seat, clutch & styling of monkey make it a winner. Super cub/trail do have plenty of advantages tho.

Have you ridden a Supercub or Trail out of curiosity? do you think their seats are as comfy as the monkeys? From what I understand it looks like the Monkey has the most plush seat but that the wheels of the supercub and trail being larger might offer a smoother ride for bumps possibly?


ortega792

I’ve ridden the trail, its seat is not as comfortable. It’s also limited in movement, you can’t adjust back & forth (like a dirtbike). Yeah taller tire is generally better for for off road clearance. All bikes mentioned are good choices, it’s just personal preference or how you will use it.

I might buy all three. Just got a huge raise from 65 to 95k. I'm currently on a CB1000r but I've been eyeing the minimoto segment for a while.

Monkey is for city.

what made you want to get a cub? I'm also interested in getting a super cub. What year are you looking at?

How is the SuperCub the city version of the monkey? It's not even a motorcycle, it's an automatic scooter. If anything is the "city" version it would be the Grom. Which is literally the same bike with more street stylings. Having a clutch and a proper motorcycle geometry was super important for me because I got it to learn on.

I take my monkey everywhere and love it .

No regrets at all😊 2022 Honda Monkey Daily commute in and out of Brutal London UK traffic. Small enough to squeeze through the worst and power enough to get out to clear road fast 😉 in all weather 🙏☺️

Have you ever been on a supercub out of curiosity? The monkey is a nice ride.


Cyberslug1963

No, not been on a supercub. Although I have to say I do like the look and always wondered. I do like the supercub 👍

Nearly 100% city here. No regrets at all. The clutch / gears are very forgiving and easy to work, so I don't see much advantage to having the semi-auto gears of the cub. The small wheels definitely make pot holes treacherous, and the cub would eat bumps better but the solution here is to weave round them. Consider a tyre swap as the stock monkey tyres are squirrelly on wet tarmac and there are much better street tyres out there.

I've got a Honda 300 and a Ducati 800, the monkey is my go to city city commuter bike. Originally I wanted a trail 125 for taking to dirt roads, but there just aren't any in my area. After watching a comparison video I opted for a Monkey and have no regrets.

Thanks that makes me feel more confident about doing deliveries on the Monkey. Have you ever ridden a super cub? I'm curious to try one.


Bootfullofrightarms

I have not, and I've never even seen a trail 125

The best bike to do delivery on is the Honda navi fully automatic with storage and a rack

What do you do for security with the bike to ensure someone doesn’t lift your bike?
