Footnotes

One of the most desirable and highly sought after of all Honda 'Monkey Bikes', this Baja features the ultra-rare 'Africa Kit', available only Japan, which was inspired by and paid homage to Honda's Africa Twin, one of Japan's first forays into the 'Big Trailie' market and the Paris-Dakar rally winner in 1987. The Africa Kit could be ordered from Honda as optional accessory and was purely a cosmetic body kit, requiring no changes made to the bike. The Africa Kit was expensive and relatively few were sold, making machines so-equipped something of a 'Holy Grail' for Honda Monkey Bike collectors. An older restoration with only 2,742 kilometres recorded, this ultra-rare Monkey is offered with Belgian registration documents (the date of 1st registration 1989).
