Honda Monkey bike

[mxzguy]

These came out last year in the US but haven't see any at the local dealers. Thought might make a cool little bumper bike for around the campsite. Looked on line and the only place I could find one was in Manitoba and the price was all in just shy of $8000.00 so I guess thats why there is none here. Looks like it would be a fun toy but not at that price.

Just get a Honda GROM then. Same bike just about at half the cost.

Yea I suppose I could just swap out the tires for something a little more off road but the monkey bike looks cooler reminds me of the Z50 from back when I was a kid doesn’t matter anyway don’t really need one it is odd there is such a big price difference as like you said basically the same bike

Yo they are the new updated z50, cool little bike but lots of $$$

 

[mxzguy]

Yea if the price was lower probably would get one but probably just as well the wife would say I don’t need another bike

 

[SHREK1]

If they appreciate like the z50, maybe buy one and in 50 years it will be worth 25k

 

[mxzguy]

Yea crazy what they want for those old Z50 and CT70

 

[mxzguy]

Yea the Z50 and CT70 people sure want a lot of cash for those old bikes but if I buy one now in 50 years I will be dead so probably not a good investment

All the kids in the neighbourhood had them....with the two knobs on the handle bars so you could fold them down and throw in the trunk on the car.

So far I only see them in Canada at one dealer. Maybe limited, check your local honda dealer.

You could fill the tank for less than $ .25 with leaded gas.

I think mine when totally empty was.49 cents. Had a penny left over for a double bubble

lol, I'm going by sh!tty memory. Thought it was around 30 cents a gallon, and the tank was less than a gallon? ...that was a couple years ago.

We had a little Kawasaki KV75. It was a little 2 stroke with oil injection. The little bike had a ton of power for its size. It rode circles around the little Honda 50cc mini-bikes. I remember bending and straightening so may axels on that thing that dad finally upgraded us.

My friend had a KV75 it was the first bike I ever rode I later got my first bike a well used Yamaha GT 80

That's funny! I wanted the GT 80 but we ended up getting the KV75.
