@matasar, i like the old Hondas a lot, no matter if it's Monkey or Dax or whatever. The downside is that they got quite looked after and expensive. Also the prices of original Honda parts for them are just a bad joke. If you find an old Honda that is not butchered, especially in good stock condition and for a reasonable price: Get it!
Thank you for your comments. You're right, it is a fun machine, and people react in a special way at a big guy on a small bike.
I'm still thinking about a 200 or 223cc-conversion for next year, and i'm trying to get everything else done until then. We'll see.
Electric shifting is an interesting idea, but i fear the cost. In Germany we say "If a pig wears a suit, it's still a pig."
