Footnotes

With the launch of the Z100 in 1961, Honda created the class of motorcycle known as 'Monkey Bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. They were originally intended for children to ride at amusement parks, and only later did Honda develop a road-going version CZ100. The engine was the C100 step-thru moped's reliable four-stroke single, while an ultra-short wheelbase, 5" wheels and a lack of suspension were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could be fitted into the boot of a car.

The Monkey Bike soon attracted the attention of collectors worldwide, and Honda was not slow to cash in on enthusiasts' passion for these charming little machines by introducing a succession of limited edition models, that offered here being inspired by Honda's larger CBX range. Un-restored and described by the vendor as in very good condition, having covered only 6,159 kilometres from new, this highly collectible Monkey is offered with Belgian registration papers.
