New Honda Monkey bike

[Gareth]

Hopefully a lot of people buy on a whim and then get tired of them!

Doubt it. The ones I know that went for sale were still strong money (£2k) and most people who've bought them don't see them as a huge financial loss if they only ride them a hand full of times per year.

I financed mine over 4 years at 0% and pay £55 a month. The bikes were a little cheaper then than they are now, but demand is still high and Honda just can't keep hold of the stock they are recieving.

My bro got one of these and I was on ot yesterday for a bit, makes me want one now!

Man math tells me that the £13 a week payment for it would be saved if I took it to Belfast once a week instead of the car!

6quid does over 100miles. 17 quid to tax a year.

I've spent the day doing the same calculations

Now just to decide whether to do the Micky Mouse CBT or go for the Direct Access.

If I did the CBT (the one day course) and bought this, could I then go for the Direct Access after?

 

[dross432]

Do direct access its twice as much or so but u do cbt at the same time

The place we went to does a top up, he reckons on a 600 we could have that CBT done in about 3more hours.

Then just lessons, theory and on for the test.

I just wanted to get the wee bike on the road ASAP for these nice evenings and abit of fun

 

[dross432]

Well theres a white one and a blue one there. If you were to buy/ order one. I can take afew days to fit it in and be datatagged and safety checked etc

Sounds like a plan, will just stay off the motorways in the meantime then.

I wouldn't go near a motorway or dual carriageway on a 125 full stop.

Asking for trouble.

Meant more the Westlink, Sydenham (all the 50 stretches) but I see your point

 

[gcon45]

Yeah it's just the combination of it's lack of power and it's diminutive frame that leaves you exposed to all sorts of trouble on the bigger, faster moving roads.

I commute the M1 daily on mie, never an issue.

 

[dross432]

It does 60 fine anything more tuck in and u creep up to 70

 

[gcon45]

I tried joining the M2 at Dunsilly on mine once.

Both lanes doing the guts of 80.

Let's just say I won't be trying that again!

 

[M4TT]

£55 over 4 years 0% is unreal!

 

[gcon45]

Is that offer still on?

 

[Gareth]

Is that offer still on?

No. Was an introductory offer. Not sure what the deals are now.

 

[Artoir]

65 over 4 I think

 

[dross432]
