HONDA MONKEY 2018

Honda Monkey 2018

Sold my ZERO DSR.

Just not my thing, riding on a Electric Motorcycle.

I got a 150 km range from a very expensive bike.I kept worrying about when and where to charge my bike.

You can buy 5 Monkey’s for the price of one Zero DSR. 

5.6 liter Fuel Tank for the 2018 Monkey 125.

On 1 liter you can drive 67 kilometers.

Changes or upgrades I made:

Takewaga Exhaust Sports Exhaust Normal Look Style.

    More ground clearance.

    Much lighter.

    Better sound.

    Original Look.

Kitaco adapter cable and Universal double USB charger.

    Switches off when ignition key is turned off.

SP-Connect Phone Holder.

GCRAFT Rear Tail Tidy Fender Licence Plate Holder.

On the newer 2020 Monkey’s there is a upgrade on the suspension.
On the earlier bikes it is too soft.
I replaced the springs in the front shocks with progressive springs.
I Put two 18 mm (pre-load) bushings on the rear shock
This is a significant improvement in an inexpensive way.
 
Bushing:
Inner Diameter: 32,5 mm
Outer Diameter: 51,0 mm
Height: 18 mm
 
Material: Tough plastic or aluminum.

BMW R75/5 1973 ½

For the 1970 model year, BMW entered the age of modern motorcycles with three new models having engine capacities of 500cc (R50/5), 600cc (R60/5), and at the top of the line 750cc (R75/5).

It stopped production of the last “Slash-2” models, with their Earles forks, kick starters, 6-volt electrical systems, woeful brakes, and frames that descended from prewar BMWs (but bikes that still evoke nostalgic passion in some of us).

The new, “Slash-5” series of BMWs offered 12 volts, electrical starters(!) as well as the retained kick starter, telescopic forks, and improved brakes. BMW also introduced nonmetallic fenders and taillight housings for the first time.

For the second half of the 1973 model year, BMW lengthened the rear swingarms, resulting in that is known now as the “long wheel base” 1973½ “LWB” models.

For these reasons, and its 750cc power, the 1973½ R75/5 is one of the most desirable of the “slash-5” models — although some enthusiasts prefer the 1970 models because they were the first “slash-5s.”
