A Sleeker Monkey: HONDA MONKEY125 Custom

 5 min read

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA MONKEY125" custom by Webike community user "gitax40". The owner, who previously rode an SR400, decided to switch bikes after finding the kickstart inconvenient. One of the features he appreciates most about this bike is, of course, the electric start. He is also fond of its compact frame, which makes it easy to park anywhere, and its astonishing fuel efficiency as being "so good it almost feels like the bike is pulling gas straight from the air."

This motorcycle, which the owner affectionately refers to as the "Honda SR125," has been subtly transformed from the original chunky and playful style of the Monkey into a sleeker look. At the front, a billet aluminum Fender Lowering Bracket by G-Craft has been installed, positioning the front fender lower and giving the Monkey a more classic naked-bike appearance. This also reduces mud splatter and keeps the engine cleaner. Additionally, an SP Takegawa Meter Visor Kit and KITACO Front Emblem Kit were added to refresh the front-end design.

The exhaust system has been upgraded from the stock bulky high-mount design to a MORIWAKI Full Exhaust MONSTER. This setup delivers an aggressive sound for an enhanced riding experience. Made of titanium, it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and features a beautiful heat coloration on the exhaust pipe. With the switch to a low-mount exhaust, a CAT'S FACTORY Right Side Frame Cover was installed, featuring a design that seamlessly blends in, maintaining the stock look and feel.

The owner, who enjoys overnight touring, has equipped the bike with an SP Takegawa Large Rear Rack. Its sturdy frame provides peace of mind for carrying luggage. For a cleaner, more streamlined rear look, an OVER Racing Fender Eliminator Kit was added. While it’s a pricier choice, its billet aluminum construction and exceptional quality in both texture and design enhance the bike’s overall finish.
