Sneak attack there on the end but I think he hit the nail on the head. Are there better motorcycles? Sure, but we like this one!

Just getting around to watching this. But guess what happened when I went to my local dealer...?
I think the only thing that hurts the trail for maneuverability is the same thing that makes it easier to ride. You don't have a clutch to feather for low speed maneuvers. However with the clutchless operation, you only have to focus on throttle and brake, and it does the rest for you.
I still can't believe that the people who made the Honda Monkey seat also made the Trail 125 seat.
RE: the practicality, there's one other effect of the Monkey vs. Trail when it comes to cost. Generally speaking, you can easily pick up a Monkey. It's not practical to have to **checks notes** go to a completely different state because it's nearly impossible to find one.
