Many words can be used to describe the Honda Monkey, a motorcycle which has helped to define the leisure bike genre. a 50cc 4-stroke engine is nestled in its striking red frame, which has a folding seat and handlebars so it will fit in a typical car trunk. The Monkey debuted in 1967, and in 2006 this special model with tartan seat, black fuel tank and red wheels went on sale to commemorate the Monkey's 40th anniversary.
