New Honda Monkey bike

[Gareth]

Was in there last night as well. I take it it was you and your mate on the white and red bikes?

It's cheaper because your taking it over longer.

Ps I was in leaving mine for recall about 7 last night, they said they sold 40 last year, best seller by a mile.

Both of those were over 3 years (unless I'm mistaken), because he mentioned to his mate "he knows about the cheaper deal". Not that I'm giving off about it, that's what I'd be doing too to be honest!

The deal on the honda website is £99 deposit and £82.99 a month.

Yeah that was me with the wee white one!

 

[Gareth]

My deal was £99 down and just under £55 a month (over 4 years) but I did get 0%. Honda also matched the £99 deposit so bike worked out at £2600.

New job cuts my commute down a lot, and into the city centre, this looks perfect for it. and only 35 a month to insure!

I use mine for city centre commute. Insurance is 80 a year though....

I'm going to start commuting to the city centre. I work round by Boojum but it'll have to be chained to a lamppost as we don't have secure parking. I'm just sceptical of leaving it for 9 hours as it's easily lifted

I'm a little luckier with my city centre parking....

What put you off the MSX?

 

[M4TT]

Double post.

nothing really put me off it as such, it is a good wee bike, but i preferred the full size MT, and the extra 5bhp doesn't hurt, might even spend the extra for the ABS model

Water cooled, almost 40kg heavier than the MSX... Just take that into consideration.

 

[Gareth]

Like @gcon45 says. An MSX wouldn't have any both keeping up with an MT.

MT is just shy of 140kg vs just over 100kg MSX. Smaller wheels will turn quicker, and is about £1300 cheaper. MSX plus light mods will be quicker than an MT and you'll still have change in your pocket
