Built around Honda's allround motorcycle platform, the 2025 Honda Monkey features a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.3 HP (6.8 kW) at 6,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 75 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (6,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Monkey measures 104.8 kg (231 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.27 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,143 mm (45 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.68-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.45 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 392 km (244 miles) between fill-ups.
