Honda Monkey: The Mini Monster is Back!

It’s been a few decades since the Honda Monkey last appeared on these American shores, but it has been welcomed back with open arms, and rightly so. Here’s why you should  actively consider getting one of these to strap to the back of your adventure-mobile.

Riding in on the back of the Grom’s success, mini-bikes with big attitudes are all the rage right now. They are compact, inexpensive and incredibly fuel efficient. Being based off the Grom with some retro highlights like a steel tank and some other throwbacks pulled from the dusty cobweb infested factory floor, these pint size Japanese heroes are itching to have some knobby tires put on them and to tear up the campground, or be your runner into town to grab supplies or groceries so you do not have to break camp.

100% street legal, featuring all the DOT requirements such as headlamp, turn signals, horn, and brake lights, and a 125cc engine with fuel injection means that with a stiff breeze to your back, you can get this thing going well into the 60mph range.

Available in two colors, Banana peel Yellow and Nebula Red, and a starting MSRP of $3,999 – this little monster is sure to be seen everywhere now that they are back in the US for the 2019 model year.
