Looking at the spec sheet, it's fascinating how different these two are at the exact same ¥495,000. The Monkey 125 is a 5-speed manual with a 384.72km range, the Dax 125 a 4-speed automatic built for two. Compared with older models, this clear division of character is the part that gets my pulse up.

¥495,000 is an approachable price even factoring in upkeep.

Choosing between two such different characters at the same price is fun.

384km range on the Monkey is notably longer than the Dax.

If range matters to you, isn't the Monkey the better travel pick?

Being able to ride the Dax 125 on an AT-only license really helps.

Being tandem-capable is a quietly big advantage for the Dax.
