Do you have a favorite song that always puts a smile on your face? In the world of motorcycling, the Honda Monkey is that song. Everybody loves this little bike, and for good reason—it’s small and light and has plenty of zip. It’s approachable, and there’s even a practical side, since it's highly fuel efficient. But the Monkey isn’t some retro primate throwback—the 2023 model features the same engine as our Grom, another fan favorite. A five-speed transmission makes it even more fun, and there’s even ABS for safer stopping. But at the end of the day, it’s the fun factor that wins out in the biggest way. These days, we all need a little more Monkey in our lives. So what are you waiting for? Go ape—on a 2023 Honda Monkey.

Features may include:

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.

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.

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.

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.
