DESCRIPTION
HONDA first displayed the Monkey bike way back in 1961 as an attraction at Tama Tech Amusement Park as part of a showcase for HONDA products. It was called a monkey bike because it was so small.
Given the high level of interest in the showpiece HONDA developed a production version which proved popular and export to Europe started 1963.
The Honda Z50R refers to models developed to meet the demand for mini dirt bikes with many being developed to be used on track. Production of the Z50R started in 1979 with the bikes enjoying a reputation for reliability, strength and most of all FUN.
This particular bike was manufactured in 1980 and is offered in immaculate condition having been fully restored with all original components and is quite simply stunning. Looks as new, kept in the warm as a show piece.
A great and rare opportunity to acquire one in this condition - don't miss out!
