Launched in Japan in 1961, and exported widely from the mid-1960s onwards, the 'Monkey Bike' was soon attracting 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.

The machine offered here is an example of the rare, limited edition 'Freddie Spencer' model, only 2,500 of which were built. The Freddie Spencer took its name from the eponymous American motorcycle racer and three-time World Champion for Honda, who secured his first world title (in the 500cc class) in 1983, his second year in the competition. He was World Champion again in the 500cc category in 1985 and took the 250cc crown that same year, the last occasion that a single rider has won more than one World Championship in a given year. Spencer also won the prestigious Daytona 200 in 1985, and the Monkey's colour scheme echoes that of his winning Honda CB750F.

Un-restored and described by the vendor as in very good condition, having covered only 2,083 kilometres from new, this highly collectible 'Monkey' is offered with Belgian registration papers.
