Bringing Out the Charm: HONDA MONKEY125 Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA MONKEY125" custom by Webike community user "Hiro". The owner, who also owns several supersport bikes, praises the Monkey125 for being lightweight, easy to handle, and offering an outstandingly comfortable ride. Its cute appearance and compact size not only bring smiles to the owner but also to those around him. However, the only downside is that with so many aftermarket parts available, once you start customizing, it is hard to stop.

The stock chunky exhaust was replaced with a compact YOSHIMURA Full Exhaust that offers high performance and a 54% weight reduction. Its deep, powerful sound is engineered to reduce the harshness typically associated with single-cylinder engines, providing a pleasant tone even during long rides. The owner also added a YOSHIMURA Carbon Heat Guard, which not only serves its functional purpose but also enhances the bike's sporty appearance.

One customization the owner wishes he had made sooner is the G-Craft Fender Eliminator Kit. Shortening the tail improved the bike's overall balance and further emphasized the Monkey125's inherent cuteness. To complement the fender-less look, the owner installed a blue tapered bolt holder by CF POSH for the license plate, adding a touch of detail. In line with this attention to detail, he also affixed a blue aluminum key box cover by KITACO to the ignition, an easy and budget-friendly way to dress up the bike. For the foot controls, BABYFACE (Sato Racing) rearsets were installed, with their striking gold color lending a mechanical feel to the bike’s appearance. The rearsets also make gripping the tank with the knees easier, adding to overall control.
