23YM Honda Z125 Monkey

Description

Fill in the below for a call-back

Model Overview

Drawn from the MSX Grom the Monkey’s two-valve air-cooled engine produces 6.9kW power with 11Nm torque. It’s durable and easy to use while a 5-speed gearbox opens up longer rides. The steel frame, USD forks, twin rear shocks and 12-inch wheels roll smoothly; for extra safety the ABS braking is Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) controlled.

Then, of course, there’s the inimitable Monkey look, correct from the mini-ape ’bars to upswept exhaust. 23YM sees the Monkey pay proper homage to the 1967 version, with its chequered seat pattern and classic Honda style of the time

For 23YM the Monkey is available in the following paint options:

1. Banana Yellow with new yellow frame, swingarm, rear fork springs, black/white tartan seat and white tank infill
2. Pearl Nebula Red with new red frame, swingarm rear fork springs, black/white/red tartan seat and silver tank infill
3. **NEW** Pearl Shining Black with black frame, swingarm, rear fork springs, black/white tartan seat and white tank infill
