NEW HONDA MONKEY BIKE

The first Honda Monkey Bikes were made in the early 1960s, had small single cylinder 50cc engines, little fat tyres and could fit into the trunk of your car. Over the years Honda released a few versions of the mini motorcycle, up until the 1970s. Jump forward a few decades to 2013 and Honda have announced the upcoming release of the MSX125 (Mini Street X-treme 125), drawing on its Monkey Bike heritage in size and looks, but giving the bike a modern fuel-injected 4-stroke engine driving a 4-speed transmission. To complete the update, the bike’s little 12 inch wheels are attached via inverted front forks and monoshock rear suspension with proper sized disc brakes.
