1961

 

The very first Honda Monkey bike model. 

Produced in 1961 in very small numbers for use only at a number of theme-parks in Japan. The Z100 never went into production for sale to the public so only a handful exist today.

1962-65

Just two years later the Z100 went into full production as the CZ100 Monkey, for re-sale worldwide. 

The OHV push-rod engine was from the C100 Super Cub.

Early examples had a white fuel tank and these are the very rare collector models. 

Also rare, later models had a red fuel tank, a larger headlamp with incorporated speedometer with horn moved to under the fuel tank.

Both models can reach prices in excess of £10,000.00 today!
