The 2023 Honda Monkey: Time To Monkey Around!
Contents
For more than 60 years, Honda has been putting smiles on faces with the Monkey. It is darn near impossible to straddle a Monkey without a smile developing. Much like the other Mini-moto bikes in the 2023 Honda Lineup, the Monkey makes excellent use of all 9.7 hp from the 123.9 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine and 5 speed gearbox.
There is a definite practical side to the straight from Japan Monkey. Fitted with standard Anti-Lock Brakes, LED Lighting, an inverted front fork, and dual rear shocks, the Monkey comes with all the kit of a typical modern motorcycle. The 12” wheels with chunky tires and the soft wide seat allow the Monkey to go anywhere with ease and comfort.
If looking cool, constantly smiling, and enjoying long spells between fuel stops appeals to you, it might be time for you to Monkey around.
The 2023 Honda Monkey starts at $ 4,249 USD / $ 6,064 CAD.

2023 Honda Monkey Features
PERFORMANCE
124cc FUEL-INJECTED ENGINEThe 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 220mm front and 190mm rear single disc brakes for excellent stopping power.
TECHNOLOGY
STANDARD ABSThe 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.
HANDLING
INVERTED FORK SUSPENSIONHere’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.
STYLE
LOW SEAT HEIGHTWhether 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.
DURABILITY
12-INCH WHEELSTough and strong, these cast wheels and wide tires are just what the urban rider needs.
