In Episode 28 of Binge Moto, Bryan sits down with Monica Maltese, a rider who has become a passionate advocate for small-displacement motorcycles and proving that you don't need a giant adventure bike to have epic experiences. Monica shares the story of her incredible cross-country ride on a Honda Monkey during the legendary Scooter Cannonball, a journey that was featured in the motorcycle documentary The Big Scoot. We discuss the challenges, unexpected rewards, and unique community that surrounds long-distance small-bike travel. We also dive into Monica's career working the Honda demo circuit and how spending time around motorcycles of every type ultimately led her to fall in love with small-displacement machines. From touring on a Kawasaki Ninja 1000 to exploring backroads on a Honda Trail 125, Monica explains why smaller bikes often deliver bigger adventures. Along the way, we talk about tackling Backcountry Discovery Routes on a Honda CB500X, packing for extended trips on lightweight motorcycles, and an unforgettable Four Corners adventure with two friends—all riding Honda Trail 125s. If you've ever thought you needed a bigger motorcycle, more experience, or a larger budget before setting off on an adventure, this episode may change your mind. Ride. Talk. Repeat.
