Wow! CB to Monkey...that's quite the downsize.
It’s funny how that happened. I bought the CB in ’14 as a commuter and, outside of that, I never rode it anywhere. I have no interest in distance riding. Already did decades of that.
For the final two years of CB ownership I quit riding it to work and just did back country road rides. So much fun. No traffic. Relatively low speed. This covers everything I need from motorcycling.
I got the Monkey a few months prior to selling the CB. The Monkey covered all the back road riding I was doing with the CB. It pushed the decision to sell the awesome CB. Never regretted it either.
That little Monkey bike provides all the joy of riding without some of the worst rubs. Traffic, tailgaters, diesel smoke and idiots trying to run you off the road.
I met my wife at the start of ‘20. I’ll admit that it would have been nice to have the CB then ‘cause she likes to ride. We ended up getting the W800 and it works well for the riding we do.
If you can ride the Monkey almost everyday, then I would say that is alotta good days!
