The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. One of their most distinctive and best loved designs is the Z series of small wheeled minibikes that came to be known as Monkey bikes because those riding them "looked like Monkeys". The first version of the Honda Z-series was the 1961 prototype Honda Z100, originally produced as a children's ride at the Tama Tech Japanese amusement park and was eventually refined and put into mass production in 1964. The early models are now extremely collectible with the Z50 PGM Fuel Injected version being the last one produced before strict emission regulations finally killed off the venerable old design.

First registered in the UK in 2003, this Honda 'Monkey Bike' is offered in good condition and reported to be 'running well', although the vendor advises us the handlebar mounted cut-out is not operational. A highly portable machine, with its lightweight construction and folding handlebars, 'KCR' represents an opportunity to acquire a sensibly estimated example of this sought after Honda classic. It is offered with some paperwork that includes the V5C and old MOT paperwork etc.
