Rider Profile

Best For	A great choice for beginners or even non-riders looking for a low-stakes, low-intimidation introduction to motorcycling.
Purpose	Built for playful, short-distance fun around town rather than any kind of serious performance or distance riding.
Rider Fit	Its tiny size and low seat height make it extremely easy to handle for shorter or smaller riders, though tall riders may feel cramped.
Character	A charming, retro-styled mini-bike that prioritizes fun, style, and novelty over speed or practicality.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for highway commuting, touring, passengers, or anyone needing real performance or cargo capacity.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 777mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 Honda Monkey, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
