Anybody here buying a new Monkey ?

[Buford]

Just curious if any fellow Pioneer owner's are planning to buy one for themselves ?
I'm an old geezer (51) , but think it would be a hoot to run around on and got dibs on the first one we have coming in at the dealership I work at.
They are way too much money, but what isn't these days ? I get it for dealer cost which I believe was about $3,300 for the non ABS version.

Just what we need. Another monkey on our backs...

I really would like to have one, and I am an older geezer myself. Just can't figure out how to pull it off without the wife killing me. Heck, I think thats about what I paid for a new SS396 Chevelle in 1966. My immediate plan is to go buy a lottery ticket today. Give us a write-up after you get some miles on it.

I would love to have one too , it's just a bit pricey for me. I would put the money towards a Wolverine , if I had 4K laying around.

First of all... you're definitely NOT an old geezer. Hell, I'm almost 57 & if it weren't for this damn body, I'd still be 25!

I would LOVE to have a Monkey! I've had several of the original Z50's, and while they could be street legal, 26-28 mph (pinned) was not real safe on the street. This one, with the 125cc motor would be perfect! Not sure if I'd go Monkey or Grom, but either way it'd be a kick in the butt!

Thanks for saying I'm not .
I also had a new Z50, back in '78, thought it was the greatest thing ever at the time. I've watched a few youtube videos on people reviewing them, and the one guy seemed to like it better than the Grom; better feel / more comfortable , a little peppier, etc. Looks like it also has taller tires which would be better for bumps, potholes, and also better for dual purpose use.
They nailed the old look with it too, where the Grom looks too modern for me.

What a great retro look with a modern price tag.
