PROBABLY THE COOLEST
The Honda Monkey is probably the coolest mini
moto on the market today. Honda Groms and their
countless copycats are nearly identical in dimen-
sions across the board, but a mini race bike?
Why? Mini is fun, and Groms seem a little too
serious/macho (in a leather-tights-and-knee-pucks
sort of way) after seeing and/or riding a Monkey
for 30 seconds. This is what 12-inch-wheel bikes
should look like and feel like.
The Honda Monkey is made to look cool. And
it's made perfectly to do so. Can you find a better
attempt at retro style on a modern platform any-
where in motorcycling? I haven't, yet.
The details are perfect. And even though you
can tell it's sitting on a Grom frame and the EFI/
Chrome is a nice touch.
