HONDA MONKEY BIKE

What is it?

A 125cc mini motorbike with iconic design and idiot-proof controls. So probably the easiest and most amusing entrance into the world of two wheels. Put simply, it’s the return of a legend – a freshly rebooted Honda Monkey bike for 2018. The Sixties original could fit in the boot of your car; the new Monkey bike is a lot bigger... still small for a motorbike, but not as diminutive as its granddad. Probably a good thing, given everything else has grown, too.

Can I buy one?

Yes, do so immediately. Costing £3,699, it’s priced higher than the MSX125 Grom it’s based on. But it’s cooler, so worth it. Plus, there are finance options including PCP for £65 a month.
