Motorcycle genius Soichiro Honda's original design, the CZ100 'Mini Bike', still has an enthusiastic following. Also known as the 'Monkey Bike', by which it was and will be forever known, the first of the line had a 49cc pushrod engine, rigid forks, single seat and 5'' wheels. Soon upgraded to the CZ50M, the Z50A and then the Z50AK2 with tele forks, 8'' wheels with knobbly tyres, and high level exhaust. Ironically the Far East motorcycle industry has spent the last four decades cloning Mr Honda's designs, some official others not, and there are many copies of the Monkey Bike available on the market today. Indeed, the term has become somewhat generic now and can apply to any miniature motorcycle.

Offered here is a Limited Edition Gold Monkey Bike. 1 of 5000 produced for the Japanese market it has the 49cc OHV engine with a 4-speed gearbox. It has been fitted with indicators and lights for potential road use. It is expected to be offered with a V5C and an MOT at the time of sale.
