I used to have a 125cc monkey bike cost something like £4 to fill the tank and that would do 120ish miles, top speed about 65MPH had great fun hooning around on it never stopped laughing, spent way to much on it the CNC wheels in the last pic cost £400+ in the end I sold it to someone on here.

Tastefully done Will, just like the Clubman :) very easy to spend a fortune as you say.

Thanks 4 months ago I passed my DAS course and bought a Yamaha xj6n it not as fun as the good old monkey If they are £2,500 I might consider selling the big bike to get one of those, what bike have you got.

[Artstu]

I've got a couple of Honda ST50's but haven't been well enough to ride them for a few years. I've never much enjoyed riding big bikes either.

This is me a few years ago now, you might recognise Dave mr MBUK at the ice cream van, he likes his ice cream you know.

Think MBUK has gone under? That was one thing I wish I had done take it on a couple of runs used to watch fatmanracing on YouTube
Nice ST50’s mate looks smart.

It's changed its name to shirebikes apparently, Im hoping to have a monkeybike by the end of the month

[Artstu]

Cheers. Ah yes Fatman just turn the sound down. There were about 100 bikes following me for 100 miles on that photo.

They're still going, they been forced to drop the monkey bike name by Honda, you can find them here http://www.shirebikes.co.uk/

edit. Josh beat me to it

Just watched some videos of the runs they look like a right laugh, i'd love to go on one but the way insurance is looking i'll only be able to get a 50cc and id doubt that'll be able to keep up lol.

They got faster and faster as the years passed, I remember a time when an 88 cc bike was top dog! These days 140 cc + is the norm. Stick an 88 kit on and enjoy trying to keep up

Lol might aswell just go the whole hog and install a 125 .
If you dont mind me asking who do you insure yours with?
As im finding it diffuclt to get insurance quotes, i can only find certian makes/models online the like Jincheng m50 and Zhenhua zh-a50 for a reasonable price. Im getting quotes of £1000+ for skyteam models.
Im guessing yours is easy to find insurance for being a Honda?
