The Monkey was so much fun and so easy to ride, it did more to sell the concept of motorcycles to a wider public than perhaps any other machine. With its chunky tyres, mini-‘ape’ style handlebars, minuscule fuel tank and big, squashy seat the Monkey look is unmistakably of its time, but – just like the affection in which it is held – also timeless.
Honda’s genuinely iconic mini-bike is re-imagined for the present day, with styling that draws heavily on the original, complemented by modern, premium touches such as USD forks, twin rear shocks, LCD instruments, IMU-based ABS and full LED lighting.
Overseas model shown, colour availability may differ locally. Talk to your Honda Dealer for more details.
The Monkey’s power unit is true to its origins, the horizontal SOHC 125cc single-cylinder engine is simple, robust and tuned to deliver useful about-town performance.
Features
Retro Design
The glossy 5.6L fuel tank, finished in the same paint colour as the frame, swing arm and rear shocks, crowns the machine and proudly wears a historical 3-D Old Wing design Honda logo.
USD Front Suspension
Upside down (USD) or inverted front forks wear a premium Alumite finish for better control and road feel.
Low Seat Height
Whether you're flat-footing it into a parking space or just stopped for a long light, the Monkey’s low 776mm seat and light weight make it easy to manoeuvre and ride. Plus the seat’s thick padding, generous size and eye-catching cover make it perfect for all kinds of monkeying around.
Multi-Function Digital Instruments
Retro meets modern in the Monkey’s instrument cluster. The round housing is totally 1960s, while the display features speedometer, odometer, A&B trip meters, fuel gauge, and indicator for low/high beam.
Easy to Park
Because of the Monkey’s miniature stature, it’s easy to park in the city, and to store when you're not riding. There’s always room for a Monkey!
Hydraulic Disc Brakes
A single 220mm front disc and 190mm rear provide secure stopping performance, managed by the IMU-based ABS.
12 Inch Wheels
Tough and strong, these cast wheels and wide tyres are just what the urban rider needs.
Round Chrome LED Headlight
The Monkey’s round headlight looks retro, but its performance is totally up to date and provides excellent illumination and visibility.
Standard ABS
The Monkey ABS gives you an Anti-Lock-Braking System for the front wheel designed to help with controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions. Whether it’s on wet pavement that’s slipperier than a banana peel, or compromised road surfaces, the Monkey ABS helps you ride with confidence.
