Honda Monkey

Introducing the 2017 Honda Monkey, a retro-styled miniature motorcycle that encapsulates fun and adventure in a compact package. With its iconic design and a rich history dating back to the late 1960s, the Monkey is not just a nod to nostalgia but a modern allrounder that caters to both urban commuters and weekend wanderers. Its small stature, lightweight frame, and unique aesthetics make it a standout choice for riders who crave a playful, engaging experience on two wheels. The heart of the Honda Monkey is its air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, boasting a modest displacement of 49cc. Producing a respectable 3.62 horsepower at 8,500 RPM and 3.40 Nm of torque at 5,000 RPM, this little dynamo is designed for nimble city riding and spirited jaunts through winding roads. The 4-speed gearbox paired with a wet, multiplate clutch ensures smooth gear transitions, allowing riders to navigate effortlessly through traffic or enjoy a leisurely cruise. The Monkey’s lightweight construction, tipping the scales at just 68 kg (149.9 lbs), coupled with its low seat height of 660 mm (26 inches), makes it accessible for riders of all sizes, enhancing confidence and control. Equipped with a host of features that elevate its riding experience, the Monkey comes with a telescopic front fork and a swingarm rear suspension that offer a comfortable ride over various terrains. The classic drum brakes at both the front and rear provide reliable stopping power, while the PGM-FI fuel injection system ensures efficient performance and minimizes emissions. The Monkey’s retro aesthetics are complemented by modern technology, including a full transistor battery ignition that ensures reliable starts, and a kick starter that adds a touch of old-school charm. With a fuel capacity of 5.5 liters (1.45 gallons), it’s perfectly set for those urban escapades or short weekend getaways. **
